Lona - New Pack Member

Caitlyn has a new friend and mentor - Lona. I am both glad of this and worried.

Lona joined the pack while I was gone, shortly before I returned. She is burned out from her time spent in doing covert and overt puppy mill rescues. She says she lost count how many she got out. The covert operations were easier, sneak in under cover of darkness, grab usually one, sometimes two, puppies and slip back out. Then do it again the next week. But the overt operations, involving the SPCA, law enforcement, sometimes the FDA, was usually a total mess.

She is in dog phase now, living with an old lady in Olathe.

Lona is one of the growing numbers of weredogs who are giving up the old rules and faiths and saying that we need to save man from himself, if that is even possible. For traditionalists, talk like that is treasonous, and very dangerous.

At the same time, more and more werewolves are adopting the ways of man, feeding their robust appetites and predatory natures within the cities and excesses of man.

But not all. Some werewolves still cleave to their old ways, to the werelore, to the belief that wild living is the best living, that wilderness feeds the soul and civilization corrupts it.

The only thing we all agree on is that the neos must be stopped, or they will destroy everything. If they are the next homo and canis manifestations, then we all, and the entire world, is doomed.

Lona, however, has good howl, as well as excellent rhetorical and hunting skills. I like her, in spite of the fact that she is giving Caitlyn a problematic education.
