dogs

dogs i saw today:

• while a woman pushed a baby carriage, a small grey moppy dog curled up in the lower basket. i peeked in, and there was a very young baby in the upper carriage. the dog looked up at me as i ran by.
• a small puppy stumbled along the trail, still uncertain about the size of its feet and the floppiness of its ears, ignorant of the cable tied to its neck, more interested in exploring every rock than listening to its incredibly patient human.
• a panting black lab, passing me closely in a narrow part of the sidewalk, giving me a brief lick on the hand while its human tried to ignore me
• a yappy little dog in the yard rushing towards me as i clear the hedge, while i turn and kneel to greet it; it stops short at the edge of the grass, and i don't know if it's because it respected the boundary or if it was just one more dog in my neighborhood with an electric fence
