D.O.P.-T.

Mama Violet was extremely miffed when after putting down her breakfast, I went down the steps to get the newspaper instead of withdrawing into the house. It was hours before I saw her around again. No sighting of her kids, not even sitting on the fence or insouciantly devouring something under the car while I did some pruning, as Monty did yesterday ... until after my dinner, when I took out the recycling and they both materialised out of the dusk and sat side by side watching me. So they got provided with a plate of food.
