It's been a long time since I have had the chance to write up one of our cases and I might be a little rusty, but here it is: The Guilt Complex!

Hopefully it has everything the press neglected to mention when the story made the headlines. And it could be a distraction from this "daylight darkness" stuff that has been going on lately too. Blackheath has been all skittery when we go for a walk... and after reading about that cat, I don't really blame him. I can only hope those kids have learnt their lesson too.

Why should you want him to roll over?

[acclimatized]

Because it's a fun trick and it looks cute. That and we all need a break from obedience training.

How is that a fun trick? Even babies can roll over.

... I take it you don't have many pets where you're from.

I have a hellhound. Breathes fire. Constantly trying to kill people. He is ah- getting better, though.

[doeswhathewants]

Why would I joke about something like that?

[acclimatized]

Nooo reason.
