The love of a.......dog? is a blog-form version of a story I wrote a few months ago, under the title Walk Up. I don't have a copy with me, so it'll be interesting seeing how close to the original story it stays. I'm also a little uncertain about the journal form; I consider my strength to be dialogue, and I haven't decided yet whether the character includes verbatim conversation in her relation of the day.

All in all, this is pretty experimental. I've been thinking about trying it for a long time, though, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes.

All dates, by the way, are thoroughly doctored. You're looking at the story timeline, not the posting timeline. This post was actually written Wednesday, July 22, 2009, the date of the blog's creation. I may get sloppy somewhere in fixing the date or time; please excuse my mistakes.
