Jenny Comes Home.

After serious concerns for her safety, Jenny was removed from her current University residence in a top-secret rescue mission today. Threats to her life had been reported, with comments such as “She’s so disgusting I can’t look at her” and “I’m going to throw her away” prompting the rescue.

The boxed-up, dry and cracking dog-like creature was whisked out of campus under the cover of heavy rain and an umbrella. A space was cleared on the mantelpiece of her new home, which she is happily sharing with indigenous Australian art and photos of Great Grandma.

Clippings.

I was heading to the sewerage and drainage easement to assess the condition of a gravel path. On the way, I spied a mobile dog-grooming trailer parked on the nature-strip. A light brown and cream dog with medium length fur waited patiently beside it. The trailer reminded me of an icy-cone seller: the type with crushed ice and flavour dispensers. However, the dog-trailer dispensers were for shampoo and conditioner- not sugar syrup.

I completed my assessment and drove back the same way. Before the trailer stood the freshly-clipped dog. After the trailer was a trail of fur clippings blowing quickly down the street. In the middle of the clippings was a woman with a box- collecting as much fur as she could.
