DOG

We drove home after dark. Little Mrok slept quietly on Monika’s lap. We glanced at each other, wondering what came next.

The couch example would work better like this: I calmly think: “Get off the couch.” I say: “Get off the couch.” (because that’s what I want) I turn away from the couch, showing with my body the direction Mrok can go. When all of that lines up, Mrok gets off the couch - every time.

and then came Agnieszka’s calm voice: “It’s okay. They’re just discussing the stick.”

We named our dog Mrok because we’ve spent most of our lives in places where light disappears — cave systems, deep wrecks, flooded tunnels. There, in the dark, we never felt fear. We felt excitement.

ACDs (...) they are like our Land Cruiser: his wheel may fall off, but it will not stop him and he will get us home.

Have you ever seen a large cow?
