I'm Peeling {The Return of Canis Familiaris}

[mudmudmud]

Mudfang yelped. The poor, helpless pup's hairless skin was peeling away in torrents, revealing a tender, pale layer underneath. Some may say she was a wimp. I say... she was gushing with bravery.

For years, the sun had wreaked havoc upon her sensitive, vulnerable skin. With only fur to cover her head, feet, and tail, the dog's back and stomach had been burned several times throughout her fifteen years.

In anguish, she cried out, "HOWEVER SHALL I DEFEAT YOU SUN?" She shook her little doggie fist in the air and crumpled into a furless heap.

Suddenly, on the horizon, a bright light began to appear. A little girl with her behind exposed by a dog was soon visible. The large white bottle said to Muddy in a deep, thundering voice, "I AM HERE TO SAVE YOU MUDFANG!! I am SUNSCREEN!!"

The small dog, shaking in anticipation, looked at the bottle for a moment.

Sivvy -- the catwings version -- lighted down on a nearby fencepost as a small, hairless dog had a spazz attack. Sighing softly, she fluttered her wings irritably. "What's wrong with everyone? First the Other Siv wants to nuke the advertisement board, and now sunscreen is the new holy grail...seriously, what are you guys on?" And where can I get some?

Death carried a large armful of empty beer bottles out the back door of the WotM Bar, grinning from ear to ear.

That must be it, Sivvy thought sullenly, it must've been half-price night or something. Dang, why'd I have to miss it?!
