I love this little prose poem so much. It came out furiously in one sitting in my notes app after a late night walk with the pup, thinking and feeling a whole lot of things. Grateful to @mosspuppymag.bsky.social for publishing it. If you have 30 seconds for a read! ⤵️ mosspuppymag.com/issue-9-echo...

Super excited to have a story included in the latest issue of Moss Puppy. This is one of my oldest pieces, and one that is very close to my heart.

Here’s Theme Hint #2 for Issue 10... 🐾 Every journey leaves traces behind, soft impressions in soil and snow. ☃️ Whose footsteps are you following?
✨🐾 Which Puppy Are You? 🐾✨
How to play:
- For each row, pick ONE thing that speaks to your soul (a drink, a snack, a cassette, a plushie, a wax seal, and an ice cream).
- Keep track of which column you’re choosing from most often.
- Whichever column you picked the most from is your puppy type! 🐶

Last but not least in our theme secrets (for now) is Issue 9: Echoed Howls! Echoed Howls isn’t a character or location in the World of Moss Puppy. It’s Moss Puppy’s last ditch effort to seek out help as the Amberfields try to lull her to sleep.
