awsome yiffyness! XD

*Author's note: This picks up the পরবর্তি morning after part 21 ended, Kate does not know it yet but she has a surprise visitor!*

Kate woke early the পরবর্তি morning, at the crack of dawn to be exact. Kate got out of বিছানা quietly as not to wake Stormy and stretched out her legs. When she went out into the living room she could see light from the sun starting to peak over the eastern horizon. Kate jumped onto the big recliner that was overstuffed and large. Kate remembered that this was where she stayed the very first night her and Jon were together.
Kate curled up in a ball and pointed her nose down...

The পরবর্তি দিন after me, Kate, and Buddy had returned to camp. Dad and I had planned a day-long excursion up to the very শীর্ষ of the Little বেল্ট Mountains to watch the sunset. As usual I was up early and was getting everything ready to go. Topping off dad's Yamaha Grizzly and my Kawasaki with gas, checking tire pressure of both machines, and so on.
I strapped a mid-size শীতল onto the front utility rack of dad's ATV. Also a small tank of gas in case I ran out, this is a long ride, about 30 miles there and the same distance back. 60 miles round trip. Dad's ATV has a 6 gallon tank and would probably...

I had been planning it for some time but I wanted to take Kate and প্রদর্শনী her the legendary ice caves above Crystal Lake. This ফ্রোজেন cave stays ফ্রোজেন বছর round even in the hottest months of July and August when temperatures reach 90 to 100 degrees. It was about a 7 mile hike from the parking area and would take most of the দিন to do, for Kate it would be easy but it is a different story for me.
"You will like this place Kate trust me," I assured her while packing supplies into the Bronco. I opened the passenger door for her.
"Get in," Kate leaped in.
I got in and before starting the Bronco I...

I had been debating whether অথবা not to take Kate to school with me and finally decided on bringing her with me. There was only a few weeks left and than summer would arrive signaling my freedom and my পছন্দ season. In the morning we showered together and I helped Kate wash all the places she could not reach. After that we hoped into my Bronco and went to ম্যাকডোনাল্ডস্‌ and grabbed some delicious breakfast Mcmuffins and hashbrowns.
"Now Kate I don't hardly like anyone in this school other than my 2 বন্ধু so just don't speak to anyone, give no reason for people to tempt me. আপনি are so beautiful...

*author's note, if আপনি haven't already read part 6 first otherwise আপনি will be হারিয়ে গেছে here!*

"This thing is cool!" Zach exclaimed about the pocket sized squirt gun he managed to snatch from a bratty kid who had tried to squirt him with it. We were headed back to the parking lot to get Kate and Stormy and go elsewhere.
"Dude আপনি better not squirt me with that অথবা else!" I joked with him. We were now getting closer to the parking lot; I looked toward the young বৃক্ষ where Kate and Stormy should have been waiting. They were not there; fear welled up inside me, any traces of humor immediately was gone....

Author's note this one picks up right where part 7 left off*

"Kate wake up sweetheart it's almost time for school!" I had been woken দ্বারা the alarm clock but Kate managed to sleep through it.
"Hmm? Morning already?" Kate yawned lazily stretching out the words.
"So glad it's finally Friday woo hoo!" I exclaimed.
"We got to hussle though; it is 7 already and we still need to shower, there won't be time for breakfast."
"Okay I'm up!" Kate jumped off the বিছানা and stretched, I quickly made it up nicely. Throwing my pajamas under my pillows and going into the bathroom, Kate on my heels. We quickly showered...

*Author's note: This entire chapter is told from Buddy's point of view to let আপনি know! It takes place a little while after Part 9 happened*

Several weeks had gone দ্বারা since Jon had brought প্রথমপাতা a brown/cream-colored নেকড়ে that he called "Kate". Buddy had been quite disgusted about the whole idea of it. He had lived with Jon and his father Paul for আরো than 3 years now, he himself was now 7 years old.
All through those 3 years he and Jon could never come to a agreement who was superior to the other. Jon was convinced he was, of course, but Buddy had always taken to Jon's father anyway. But even...

*Author's note-this picks up right where LWK part 13 ended, only a few hours later*

"Jon! Jon, wake up!"
I could hear Kate's voice but was still not all the way awake yet. I felt her paws on my chest and she began to shake me.
"Not now Kate, we can have fun later..." I mumbled still partially in my sleep. Now I could feel her nose near my ear, I could sense her mouth opening and about to close..."Ouch!" Kate bit me on the ear! Now I was awake. I glared at her irritatedly, "what is with you?" I saw the fear in her eyes just then.
"Jon there's something out there! Something in the trees, I heard...

*author's note: the camping trip is now over, this is written to pick up the pace of my stories a bit, still the most exciting part has yet to come!*

When the camping trip ended; the Airstream unpacked at home, the usual routine resumed. Now since school was out I went to work full time at the store. For 3 days I would work a full 8 ঘন্টা shift. The money was much better but I still needed আরো to save for college.
I landed a job with one of dad's old বন্ধু who was also a part time mason. A man named Tim, he like my dad was older and had a bad back too. I worked at that job for 2 days...

*Author's note: another chapter told from Buddy's point of view*

The পরবর্তি morning Buddy took off exploring. Buddy was searching for beavers. They had constructed a new dam downstream from where the old one that he had plunged into the পূর্ববর্তি spring was. He came upon the newly constructed dam and to his surprise there was hardly any water in it; 3 beavers were sitting in the middle of it, watching him. Buddy strolled up to them, they made to run however.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to eat you!" Buddy said.
"Okay, আপনি better not I warn আপনি dammit!" One of the beavers said.
"You guys seem bummed...

*Author's note: this picks up the night after where part 18 left off. The point of view switches off between me, Kate, and Buddy so sorry if it confuses আপনি a bit*

The পরবর্তি morning was a bright and sunny one, I woke to the sun streaming in the small window in my bedroom in the trailer house. A nice break considering all the rain we had been getting. Kate laid with her paws around me, we had had been making out and fell asleep doing so the night before.
"Kate Kate wake up! It's shaping out to be a glorious summer day!" I ব্যক্ত to her.
Kate woke and looked around and yawned, "oh I forgot we were...
