Original prose and poetry. Saturday, July 26, 2008. THREE CREEKS LAKE, THE WOLVES' VIEW. Do you want to go to Three Creeks? Our humans said. We leaped up, smiling widely, panting, pacing. Look," said the humans, "They know what we mean.". We see dogs approaching; our hackles stand straight up, and our humans snap on our leashes.
