(I have bared all my teeth, I have snapped for far too long) 

growling at the dark/ 

does he bite? 

experienced fosterers required // doesn’t do well with others/ 

where have you gone? 

why did you leave? 

i was always good (even when I wasn’t) 

i wouldn’t even if I really wanted to/ 

fight over scraps (they were mine first) 

howl at the moon (dig through the dirt) 

take it all out // 

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks /
