Bones faces life every day—
and every day it snarls at him.  

He likes it better
when life doesn’t show its teeth.  

He can live with that.

It seems to me that life's teeth are shown far less often with a smile...from what I've read of Bones' life, it seems the same may hold true with him, as well.  Classic Bones...an excellent write.

Life can have a pretty nasty set of k-9s. Bones isn't the only one that must face the beast. I find it best to carry a few scraps about my person, just in case.

Thanks Andrew,

That's probably a good idea.  I'll mention it to Bones.
