We are back with Joe. Do you recall Joe?
I started telling his story earlier this year: Joe
~~~~~~~
He heard about some metal relics in a ditch so he thought he'd go check that out. He may find some useful shelter. The ditch did indeed have a relic. So perhaps the fables and legends about Humans were true after all?
Joe climbs onto the relic and begins to look around when something taps his leg.
It then sits quietly and stares up at Joe.
What the?
Joe reaches down and feels an instant connection. Something in his body suddenly feels quite warm. He isn't sure what it is.
He starts to walk back towards the forest and....
well....
Hmmm.
He feels more warmth in his body. It seems to spread as the little...um, dog seems to be following him.
Maybe this world won't be so bad after all? This warmth under his coat isn't just from his coat.
He isn't sure what it is, however it feels pretty good.
Joe and Dog wake up to the world turning white and snow falling down. Joe grabs his pack and thinks perhaps he and Dog need some better shelter.
Dog walks up and drops a stick.
Joe stares at it.
Dog hops up and down.
Joe picks up the stick. He heads to the woods.
He sighs as Dog brings him more and more sticks.
Dog seems to make his lonely life more bearable. Dog seems to know what he wants without him having to say a word.
Is this what caused the warmth under his skin? This odd feeling he has never had before?

I was going to work more on this but have kept putting it off with the snowstorms and extreme cold weather.
I had an inkling that Joe and Dog were on the track to become great friends. I bet they've holed up right now and are keeping warm someplace....
More Joe and Dog adventures coming along soon enough....
