  8. I followed David’s scent as Cassie floated in absolute silence overhead. Her owl’s wings made no sound. Not even to my ears.
  9. <He stopped here,> I said. We were a thousand yards from the barn in the middle of a field. <He morphed. I’m getting a new scent.>
  10. I sniffed carefully at the ground, going around in a circle. <The idiot!> I yelled, suddenly too angry to be dog HAPPY. <He went into that lion morph you hooked him up with.>

  20. I took a deep breath. I had a bad feeling about this. I began to demorph. I wanted to be able to look around as a human to see what David had seen.
