D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

The white dogs on the other side of the chainlink fence from our backyard - a standard poodle and a teacup poodle, or close approximations - have been shorn for the summer and look even skinnier when they come running to bark frenziedly at my hairy barrel-shaped brown dog.

D.O.P.-T.

Finally a little cooler today. Leaves are tossing in the breeze outside my window.
