Stray Dog

Jan = my ecology professor
John = my mom's boyfriend

I was with Jan in a field with a few other girls. He found a centipede and skewered it with a stick, then told us we should try eating some. At first I resisted because that sounded discusting. Then he tried some and so did the other girls, so I did as well. The texture was very distinct, and it was a lot like shrimp. I told Jan I was a vegetarian, but then said that the centipede tasted like what i remember shrimp to taste like. He was impressed by me being a vegetarian. All of us were now taking bites out of the centipede and then getting too discusted by them and spitting them out. There was mushed centipede all over the ground.
Jan had gone somewhere with some hunting dogs. I found another dog, she was a very big huskie. We started trailing Jan. To my surprise the dog stuck with me and obeyed me even though she was a stray. It was starting to get dark and there were cars going by and I was afraid the dog was going to get hit. We tracked Jan into Kresge proper and there were a bunch of black guys hanging out in the higher floors of the buildings. I asked one of them if he had just seen some hunting dogs go by. He just stared down at me and made a strange hissing noise. Another guy told me not to pay attention to him, and that the other guy just wanted my dog to be part of the fight. I told him that I'ld rather not participate, and that I will probably keep my doors locked tonight. He said that was a good idea.
I got to my house, which was in Kresge, and my family was inside. They were all watching a movie, and i introduced them to the dog I had found. The dog and I were both very tired so we just sat down on the floor in front of the movie. The dog layed her head on my stomach and I was petting her. After a while she got up and was scratching at the front door. I realized that she was wild and it might be impossible for me to keep her happy if she was living inside. I tried taking her into the back yard to see if that would satisfy her urge to be outdoors. I kicked a ball around for her and she chased it. It was now getting light outside, and then the dog knocked the ball into some bushes on the side of the yard. I went over to get it, and when i emerged from the bush I was covered in bugs. There were little gnats all over me, and they started to fly all over the yard too. The sensation of them crawling on me was very strong. I took the dog inside with me and started brushing all the gnats off. John asked what happened and I told him. I was then going to go ask my mom if we had any dog food.
