Tethered
Calliope's in the back yard, training yet, another pup. She fosters them from the nearby shelter. This one’s all black, short and stocky with a square head.

Reminds me of days gone by with my Granny Sawyer, training our herding pack.

By the Sword. Runner-Up in Misplaced Challenge.
Existence depends on the context. What is alive by a particular set of standards is dead by another. The things humans create have life; they have a soul. These things do not utter sentences like humans do because this is a human thing. They make us with a purpose, and this purpose gives us life.
