a dog spreading the news
originally posted May 20, 2006
The white mutt halted every few moments to sniff a tree, a bush, a planter. These were popular stops for local dogs. Here, they’d catch up on the latest neighborhood news, sniff the air for distant events, tree trunks for upcoming ones. The dog cocked his leg on a sapling, adding his own two cents, then kicked the dirt around, spreading the word. At one point, he kicked several clumps of sod back, hitting the man holding the leash and a cup of coffee. This I took to be a telegram: Fuck you. Stop. You’re not the boss of me. Stop. There’s plenty you don’t know. Stop.
