So it looks like there's a hierarchy within the werewolf 'pack' - Kyle is alpha, then Jon, then Chubbs. But neither of the two subordintates seem to be very happy about it. My guess is there's going to be a dogfight, in the literal sense. But wow, how metal would it be if they were in planes as well?

Regarding prairie dog 'language', there's no question that they communicate - arguably every living thing comminucates. But the signals that prairie dogs or primates or even bees use are innate, they don't have to learn them. Something like birdsong is not innate, as many birds learn their song - but it isn't about anything in particular. It's a little more complicated than that, but the end result is that while most things communicate, only humans use true language.

Sorry to go on, I just find it interesting. Obviously the werewolves would have a language, having started out as human and retained their intelligence.

I beg to differ on the prairie dog language! From the program I saw, it was sophisticated enough that there was no way that it could have been innate! Bees, maybe, but a word for human with a modifier for a blue shirt? Had to be learned!

Too close for comfort for BOTH boys right now, but I love how Peter still sticks by Dill no matter what.
Dill's got family, a good one that gives a damn, even if he doesn't see it yet.

Word- Salingo
As in "Peter better learn salingo quick to figure out what they're saying."

Yes I estimate that Kyle was traveling at approximately 20 miles per hour, giving the impact a force of, oh shall we say 1000 Newtons? Though bare with me it's been four years since my last physics class. :)

I'm glad Peter was safe, I had just hoped that while Peter was distracting the thing, Dill would have been shimmying like there was no tomorrow... in fact there might not be for them!

Yeah Kyle should be showing up any time now, and boy is he going to be pissed at both Peter and Jon.
And Jon is not going to be happy that Kyle is still alive.

I hope Dill made good time after he saw Peter get past the sag in the line.

Mary -
I think Dill does...but that's GIRLY stuff, dude.

Rai -
Maybe Dill got delayed at the telephone pole...shorter arms to reach around it, and all that...
