COVA–FUGO V. BROWN–SHOW ME THE CUE

Posted on September 7, 2012 by asknod

I should have written this one up several years ago and for that I apologize. Fugo is an interesting case where the Vet attempts to raise CUE but isn’t quite sure what he’s up to. In his bumbling efforts, he compounds his … Continue reading →

MEET YOUR NEW FRIENDS AT THE VETERANS SERVICE CENTER

Posted on July 27, 2012 by asknod
