The smell was fierce and overwhelming. Like something rolled up and died underneath the cabin! I panicked; I was convinced Bijou crawled under the cabin and died. At least, I thought I was certain; Bijou had been missing since the outsiders appeared on my island.
I needed fresh air, I couldn't breathe; but I thought perhaps the smell outside would be stronger than the smell inside. But then I wasn't even sure the smell was real or a hallucination.
But the smell outside was much stronger and standing in front of me when I opened the door! Leaping in circles, tongue hanging, flopping from side to side, and dripping perspiration. Bijou was smelling to high heaven of urine and feces from head to tail! And proud of her smell! Bijou was covered in rolled in deer slop.
My baby girl is back home!
There are deer on my island, Grann, but where?
I don't know what's going on. I don't think I'm losing my mind. But I'm finding it more difficult to concentrate. I don't know if Marvella food is safe anymore. Ma mere says that wheat, barley and common everyday foods can become toxic when they spoil; and even make you go bonkers. I think I have all the symptoms of going bonkers according to Ma mere.
I should go through my food and discard what I think is bad.
But even more importantly, Grann; my dog Bijou is back home and safe!
