Life on Parole

THE HOUND CHRONICLES

Episode 13: Life on Parole

It's been a while since the boys have checked in, and apparently some of the neighborhood has been wondering what they've been up to.

Well...

Winchester has been on medical leave recovering from a nasty ear infection.

The commander has been grounded, taking his medicine, and reluctantly accepting that chasing deer isn't part of the treatment plan.

Dean has fallen into a mild depression.

Not because he misses escaping...

Because it won't stop raining.

Turns out you can't conduct successful deer patrols when everything smells like wet leaves and disappointment.

Every evening he walks to the back door, looks at the rain, sighs dramatically, and heads back to the couch like someone canceled Christmas.

And then there's Roscoe...

Well...

Roscoe is still Roscoe.

He's appointed himself Director of Homeland Squirrel Security.

His entire day consists of staring out the front window, monitoring squirrel activity with the intensity of an air traffic controller.

Every now and then he'll let out one bark...

Just to remind them...

"I'm still watching."

The squirrels, of course, remain completely unimpressed.

As for the fence...

It's still standing.

The boys have remained on their best behavior, and I'm pleased to report there have been zero successful prison breaks during this reporting period.

I know...

Some of you are probably disappointed there isn't another manhunt.

Others are probably relieved.

Either way, the parole board would be proud.

Mission Status:

🐕 Winchester – Recovering.

🐕 Dean – Weather delayed.

🐕 Roscoe – Running neighborhood squirrel surveillance.

Dad – Still performing daily perimeter inspections... because apparently that's my full-time job now.

Stay tuned...

The weather will eventually clear.

And history has taught us...

The parole board only meets until the deer show back up. 😂🐾
