i just took a catnap. how was your nap? ok, idle know if i slept. you were snoring. i guess i slept then, i don't usually snore when i'm awake. 
i woke up and read the end of joy williams' shepherd:
    
       silence was a thing entrusted to the animals, 
   the girl thought. many things that human words have harmed are restored 
   by the silence of animals. 

she was inconsolable over the death of her shepherd. she would ask, do you love me? and the dog would leap into her arms. but the dog kept escaping by tearing through the screen door. she was taking drugs to calm her down that never calmed her down. her boyfriend chester said she would always stand and scream at the dog. the dog tore the screen and drowned in the ocean. 

then, again i thought about the fellow who was so in love with his pet bull who died 
he cloned him and was gored.
