is anyone out there?
As usual, tonight I am heading out to hunt for dinner -- alone. I hate being alone. Anytime I try to talk to my pack about hunting alone, they just laugh and tell me to "Wolf up." What if I don't want to? Why does being a man have anything to do with hunting alone versus with a friend? Some of this stuff just doesn't make sense to me. I may be a little smaller than the rest, but that doesn't mean my brain is smaller as well. I wish there was someone I could talk to about these thoughts, but I just feel so different from my pack.
I'm tired, I can't find any food, and I am sad. Food used to always be so easy find, but we just relocated and everything is different. I haven't figured out my new paths to follow yet and I am so hungry that I don't want to. It's exhausting not knowing what animals live where. One wrong turn and I may end up needing to defend myself against an animal much larger than me and I don't have the energy to do that with this deficit in food intake. I'm not sure how much longer I can take this. I feel as though re-locations are occurring more and more often and my energy levels drop a little more each and every time.
If you missed it in the introduction, I sit in an alley behind Starbucks (thanks for the free wifi) in order to hopefully create a bridge between myself and the humans that are either creating so much chaos in my life or some humans that can spread the word to them. I just can't help but wonder whether you humans realize how much each new subdivision, shopping strip, and whatever else you feel the need to build affects me. I don't know what's scarier though: you knowing and not caring or you not knowing. I wonder if there are ever people fighting for my rights. I wonder if people that don't know the damage being done care to find out. I'm hoping this blog of mine will get me some answers...maybe even some hope.
Author's Note:
My whole story book is a drawn out version of The Dog and The Wolf from Aesop's Fables. The story includes a starving wolf that crosses paths with a dog. The dog tells him that he can feed him if he just comes to his owner. After seeing a bald spot on the dog's neck, the wolf becomes curious and questions the dog as to where it came from. The dog brushed it off, but let him know that it was from his collar that he was not wearing at the time. The wolf quickly calls the dog a fat slave and declines the offer.
In my series of stories, I am going to make the wolf a little more desperate. The wolf in my story is more than just hungry...he is lonely. He craves a bond to help get him through the starvation he is experiencing, but his pack just shoes him off.
In this first story, you are introduced to the wolf's desperate need for answers from the humans causing him so much conflict. You are also introduced to his loneliness, starvation, and need for connection. He is more focused on his need to connect and, for that reason, he is ready to approach a dog that has been calling out to him each night he goes to connect to Starbucks' wifi. You will see this relationship grow as you read on to later stories. This differ's from the original story as that story focuses only on the wolf's starvation and freedom. My story will touch on friendship, starvation, and freedom.

I think I am going to do something about this loneliness issue I have been having. There is an annoying dog that doesn't shut up every night that I come to write to you all. He constantly begs me to come be his friend and claims that we are cousins. I know thanks to Google that we indeed are cousins, but my pack told me that it's a disgrace to them if I stoop to the level of a dog. Because of that, my pride makes me not want to give in to being friends with him, but it's my only option at this point. I just need to make sure I can keep this a secret from my pack or they might kick me out for good.
The sun will rise soon and the coffee-drinkers will start lining up, so I won't be able to access wifi again tonight. But, don't worry, I'll report back soon on how things turn out.
