I'm Better With Dogs

Kerrigan Gilbert. 21. Ice Queen.

“Thank you!” Kerrigan caught up, slightly out of breath. “Sorry, he really hates baths. Come here you!” She dove for him and he slipped out of her fingers. She connected hard with the dry Arizona ground and there was a cracking sound.  The dog bounced around her enthusiastically, barking.

Dot laughed as she watched her fight with her dog, the canine faking her out each time she got close before causing her to fall. Dot winced, hurrying over and catching the dog by his collar, crouching down to scratch the back of his neck and look down at the older woman, “Are you okay?” She can’t help her giggle, smiling sweetly at her as she offered a hand to help her up, “Do you need help bathing him?”

“Um...sure...” Kerrigan felt a blush creep up on her face. She couldn’t help but notice how brilliantly vivid Dotty’s eyes shined in the Arizona afternoon light. Brushing herself off she stood, glaring at the offending pet. “I think I need a bath too after this.”

Kerrigan started, the book in her hands almost falling. She grappled with it wildly as a furry four legged beast joyfully bounded around the corner to greet the newcomer. “I - ah!” She finally grabbed it, tucking some hair behind her ear. “I don’t smoke.” She said firmly, avoiding eye contact. “Sorry, my dog is really…people…oriented.” She moved to remove her pet from its quest to lick his face. 

Jacob’s eyes widened when the girl’s dog bounded up to him, hopping up on his legs, his hand coming down to pet it’s head. “That’s alright,” he says to both her saying she doesn’t smoke and her apology for the dog. “Don’t worry about it, what’s it’s name?” He asks, reaching down to pet the overactive creature, laughing when it licked and nuzzled at his hand.

“His name’s Hades.” She replied, squatting down on the dog’s other side and petting him as well. “But he comes to all sorts of stuff. Baby butt, Fluffy Face, Furry Asshole...” She shrugged, glancing shyly at the man in front of her for a brief moment. “He’s a pretty happy dog.”

“Hades, no!” Kerrigan screamed after the explosion of fur that burst his way out of the trailer door. She stood, panic spreading over her features. Her eyes locked onto a figure standing idly by. “You! Help me catch him! For chrissake all I was trying to do was give you a bath, Hades!”

Robin simply watched for a second, surprised by the sudden scene before them before snatching up the dog the best they could as ordered. “Baths are a lose/lose scenario it appears,” they mused, “I believe this adorable runaway belongs to you.”

[gerrigankilbert-blog]

"Oh my god, thank you!" Kerrigan rushed over out of breath. "Hades you asshole!" She lifted the dog out of their hands, looking embarrassed. "I'm so sorry, he's just a furry, dirty bastard." The dog wiggled in protest, trying to lick Robin's face.

“Oh, do you like the candles? I made them myself! Each color has a different scent. I painted the glass bottles too. And the pots. Not to brag but, they look really nice, don’t you think? I like colorful, fun, summery things. And… well, you didn’t ask any of this, uh, I’m sorry.”

[gerrigankilbert-blog]

"How uh...how much are they?" Kerrigan stumbled, entranced by how elegant and intricate each one looked. "I actually really like these..."

Dot was just taking a late afternoon jog when the blur of fur shot out of the trailer just a few in front of her, her eyes wide as the dog sped down the dirt road towards her. She glanced at the shouting owner, her head nodding some when she realized she needed help and jogged in the direction the dog was running, “Hey! Hey come here boy!” She cooed in a baby like voice as she stopped in front of the dog, “Come here Hades, come here boy!” She clapped her hands, before crouching down some and holding her arms out, glancing at the dog’s owner as the dog continued to trot in her direction.

“Shit,” Reagan mumbled, watching as the creature passed her. She hated having to run, but she didn’t want to see it get hurt. She quickly turned, making a move to chase after it. “Hades!” Reagan called out the name she’d said, attempting to get its attention.

The dog bowed playfully, just keeping out of reach. He barked at her and danced around.  Kerrigan ran up, red faced and out of breath. “Fuck!” She choked out. “Hades, come here! I’m so sorry!” She turned to Reagan. “Let’s try cornering him. If we can grab his collar he’ll stop. He just really doesn’t like baths.”

“Put your hands on my knees, she said” Addie quoted aloud, voice honeyed, “and think of me as a book you’ve been dying to read.” Dark eyes glanced up at the other as she tried to conceal her smirk, legs crossed behind her in the tall grass as she thumbed the well-read pages of an erotic poetry anthology. “Raunchy, isn’t it? I don’t think you can get much better literature than a poem that reads like foreplay.”

[gerrigankilbert-blog]

Kerrigan put down Tuesday’s With Morrie and looked up at the fading light. “But how do you look at a book you’ve been dying to read?” She mused, mind drifting. “With hunger? With longing? With the same familiarity of an old friend?” She smiled a little, books being the one thing she could connect on. She watched her dog chase crickets a few feet from them. “I guess that does sound like foreplay.”

    “I need a ride to Walmart, your credit card, and your guaranteed silence.”

[gerrigankilbert-blog]

Kerrigan stood in the doorway, eyebrows raised. “I’m sorry, you what?” Her voice was a little hard. “My credit card? Are you even going to pay me back?”

[gerrigankilbert-blog]

“Hades, no!” Kerrigan screamed after the explosion of fur that burst his way out of the trailer door. She stood, panic spreading over her features. Her eyes locked onto a figure standing idly by. “You! Help me catch him! For chrissake all I was trying to do was give you a bath, Hades!”

Clicking his lighter again and again, Jacob groaned at the realization that it was finally dead, tossing the thing away to the gape between his trailer and the ground. The cigarette between his lips remained unlit as he patted down his pockets in a vain hope that he’d find another lighter. When he didn’t, he looked up and around at the trailers around him, hoping to see someone on their porch or walking past. When he did, he called out to them. “Hey! You got a light on you?”

“C’mon. I want to show you something.”

[gerrigankilbert-blog]

Kerrigan stood at the front of her trailer, screen door held hesitantly open. “Look I...” She sighed in exasperation. “Can the dog come also?” A furry, bright eyed, Australian Shepherd head forced its way out the door and around her leg. “I can’t just leave him by himself. He gets into things.” She seemed nervous to be outside in general, avoiding eye contact.
