IME with dogs, there is a direct correlation between the quality of the input and the, um, nature and frequency of the output.
We just switched to a more expensive cat food with better ingredients, for exactly the same reason.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Attn: Allyson. You should write This American Life this week for sure -- they are rerunning some old stuff about the internet, and this stuff from 1996 about is it possible to have relationships on the internet is fascinating.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had a physical freakout in my sleep last night. But I can't remember why. I mean, I don't think it was because of a dream. I woke with my heart thumping insanely and totally limp. It was really weird. But I was calm despite.

That was all sounding familiar until you got to the remaining calm part, ita. I get the heart thumpy limpness from night terrors, but wake up with big fear.

-t is me. I'm never limp after those, I'm rigid and often pull a neck musscle trying to sit up too fast. Hate, hate, hate that.

I dreamt that my car fell apart. Like, I was hauling around the empty corspe of it -- it lacked two doors, and all the tires.
And my dead cat Solomon was missing. And actually, ita, I think you --and Xander -- were in my dream too. I prolly pulled you in from L.A., and your shitty dreams are all my fault.
Blame me! (But please don't hurt me -- I've had a shitty week.)

Pull a neck muscle? Ow! And also, maybe that's why my neck is always sore...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So. Much. Dust.

Fine, Erin. This one time, you get a pass.
It's weird--I do intermittently wake up and can't move. Which isn't something I think about much, probably because it's really freaky. I feel all sucked into the bed.
But it's never happened with the heart thumping before, yet, just no fear. Except when I started wondering why my heart was thumping so hard.

ita, maybe you were dreaming of training, and all that adrenaline got dumped into your system.
