Chapter 14

The next morning I got up before everyone else did. I went downstairs and saw Cujo lying on the couch. I went into the kitchen and made myself a cup of coffee to wake me up a bit. When I was pouring in my cream Cujo got off the couch and walked into the kitchen and sat behind me. I looked over at him and he was staring up at me.

"Hey Cujo, are you hungry?" I asked him.

Woof

"Shhh, quiet Cujo, don't wake the others. You've been here longer than me, you show me where your food is," I told him.

He got up and walked to the backdoor and sat back down and looked at me, licking his lips.

"So you hunt for your own food, okay then, that makes sense," I said as I made my way to the door. I opened the backdoor and Cujo ran out into the woods. Watching him run into the trees made me think to the hunt yesterday, running after the elk, and taking him down. The next hunt wouldn't happen until next month, before the cold starts to get worse.
