As much as Zeitgeist hated himself for it he had turned scavenger once more. It was simply the way he had found to survive. He couldn't hunt and so he had taken away half eaten kills from other predators when he could find it in himself to do so. That meant either running off the smaller predators or waiting for the larger ones to wander off so that he could quickly grab the remains. Of course he always allowed for Guillotine to consume as much of the find as the boy could before he would end up eating whatever was left over. Sometimes it was nothing and others there were a few bites. That was fine with him so long as the boy wasn't suffering. Even though it had been years that Zeitgeist had suffered in such poverty he still remembered that portion of his own life.
Zeitgeist had left Guillotine a short distance away so that the boy could have some privacy while he took care of business and found some relief in emptying his bowels behind the thick shrubbery. Zeitgeist made certain to keep himself in eyesight of the shrubbery so that Guillotine would know that he was still nearby and that there was nothing to worry about. Meanwhile Zeitgeist was scouring the land for some other meal to scavenge.
As two sets of eyes were better than one Zeitgeist had set Ptolemy to flight. The bird would be able to see a further distance from the air and would be able to spot if there was a carcass lying about discarded nearby somewhere. It was the closest that the dog had achieved to actual hunting. It wasn't a lifestyle that he enjoyed and found that he missed cooked meals more and more with each passing day. Of course that wasn't the only thing that he missed but right now it was the one thing in the forefront of his mind.
Be sure to come around, I'll be wallowing in sorrow, wearing a frown,
like pierrot the clown.
