Aaron brought Patches over Monday night, and he’s been stay­ing under my bed for most of the time. The tent that he has is sort of his secu­ri­ty blan­ket; he’ll hide in there when­ev­er he wants to be alone. Dolores is a lit­tle wary of his pres­ence, and she’ll fol­low him just to keep track of where he is most of the time. So far, it’s just a few hiss­es and growls, since Dolly seems to want to test Patches with chal­lenges, while Patches just groans. Sometimes it sounds like stock cars mak­ing a turn at Daytona when they growl out of sync.
