A Dog in the Kingdom of Pen

Part 2: The Talking Squirrel

Warren Luther stared at the spot where Catwing had been hovering. A Cheshire Catwing…he hadn’t even heard of catwings before today and now there were Cheshire Catwings??? And a Sheriff named Rochellaine who doesn’t believe in Catwings or talking squirrels?

“Kingdom Pen is aweso…[Read more]

The GIF-Hiders: An Easter Story

Part Ten: Encouragement. In Many Ways.

And so, Jenna, Dekreel, Catwing, Skredder, Valentine, Rochellaine, Jane Maree and the troll-thing hid GIFs for the grand Easter-GIF hunt together. In the meantime, they talked laughed, bickered, argued, joked, and ate.

It didn’t take long at all for Jenna to warm up to her n…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy  Mwehehehhhh…

@daughteroftheking  X’D *pulls you to your feet*  I knew you’d like that!! 😀

@mnvalentine  Oooh, that’s a problem. Especially with this installment, anyway. XD Thank you!

@emma-flournoy  Glad ya like him!

@ethryndal  X’D Aww! Thank you! I thought it was funny, too

@jane-maree  Yes, pizza makes heated debate…[Read more]

@mnvalentine Thanks! 😀 I certainly hope so…. 🙂

NOOO! Not hummingbirds!!! @catwing Why do cats like to kill hummingbirds???? It’s like squirrels: they are for chasing and befriending, but not killing!

Okay. Rant over. 🙂

I am proud to present:

A Dog in the Kingdom of Pen

Part 1: Into the Kingdom of Pen

Warren Luther blinked, staring at the computer screen. He tapped a few keys, and the computer flashed as pixels were transformed into the words “WarrenLuther04.” His password and “tag” soon appeared on the “Account Information” page of kingdompen.org. Warren slid…[Read more]

@mnvalentine @warrenluther04 Our cat killed a squirrel about a week ago…

(I feel like I’m Alice talking to the creatures in Wonderland about Dinah. 😀 )

@daeus Thanks!

@mnvalentine Okay. 🙂 Oh…you’d be surprised…. 😀 😀 😀 *barks* My dog (in real life) almost caught a squirrel once, she was so close we had to call her to save the squirrel. But don’t worry, I won’t bite you. 🙂

@seekjustice Thanks! You’re in!

@sam-kowal Okay. Now, would you be with Stan? If so, what are your personality and traits?

@catwing A Cheshire Catwing. Thanks!

@rochellaine Would you like to be a character? Like your character in @dekreel‘s KPA?

@catwing

And this is the head of the Grand Glaring Clowder Catwing Council [aka the Catwing Council…

@mnvalentine Don’t worry.  You’re safe.  I like squirrels as long as they don’t eat the birdseed.  But I still can’t disbelief real things.  Only imaginary creatures. 🙂

@dekreel Upon a reread I suddenly realized that you let me do the Spock-eyebrow!!  I actually did teach myself to raise one eyebrow by careful training and practice about five…[Read more]

Another one of my favorite parts. For good reason. Mwehehehhh…

Part Nine: Disbelief

“Halt!!” barked another new voice. “Halt in the name of the law!”

Jenna pulled her palms from her eyes, and peeked at the troll, who, much to her relief, hadn’t squashed Valentine. His foot was in mid air, and Valentine…[Read more]

@dekreel No problem!

*squirrel dashes up a tree* *stares after squirrel* *whines and scratches tree*

@mnvalentine Don’t worry, you’re safe! 🙂

Fun fact: Cats have slightly better hearing than dogs. But I think that dogs have slightly better noses.

@catwing This is true: cats have better hearing but dogs have better noses. 🙂 (But I’m biased…[Read more]

@mnvalentine, thank! Oh, I like all kinds of music. I like Toby mac, Lauren Diagle (not sure if I spelled that right), Piano Guys, and Mandisa. To name a few.

@warrenluther04  Thank you!! 😉

*stares at squirrel* *dashes away after squirrel*

@mnvalentine  RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

@mnvalentine  Yes, I was laughing, too, as I wrote it. It’s another one of my favorite parts XD

Part Eight: Up a Tree

Having just hidden a Star Trek GIF, Skredder suddenly lifted her head. “Earthquake,” she simply said.

Everyone looked at her. “What?” said Valentine.

“Earthquake! An earthquake’s coming!” Skredder repeated.

“She’s right! I feel it, too!” called Catwing from a tree branch.

“But earth…[Read more]

@sam-kowal yes, do encourage him. 🙂
I know… But ‘being a Catwing’ not ‘being a dragon’. Before you get your wings you watch all the other Catwings fly around you and you wonder. ‘When are my wings going grow in? Surely I should at least have little wings, right? Why couldn’t I be born with wings?’ (some Catwings are born without wings, but they…[Read more]

@mnvalentine Just so you know I don’t want to eat you. Honest. Have the rest of my trail mix. *drops pawfuls of nuts in front of you* I don’t like nuts. The texture mostly, cause I like peanut butter. I picked out all the raisins and m&ms and banana crisp thingies. So I have all these left over… *grins*

Part Seven: Dog, Cat, and Squirrel

“So, Jenna?” began Dekreel after their previous conversation had petered.

“Yeah?”

“What do you like to write?”

Oh, no, <i>that<i> question. She sighed a little. “Umm… several things, I guess.”

“Anything you’re working on?”

“… Not really. I write random essays. And I journa…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy

I think I’ve pretty much got those four pillars worked out, so yay!
