D.O.P.-T.

Today pretty much all the human traffic we ran into on walkies came as we were leaving the park, so I steered the dog across the street. Two large and energetic hounds like to jump up in the picture window, barking ferociously, when we pass by on the sidewalk on that side, and I actually rather missed them when they were away for a few weeks, but today it wasn't them, it was a single similarly sized dog with brown and black spots who was just being brought out for walkies by his person. Both simultaneously started with the leaping and barking; the other lady restrained her dog, I told ours "No leapins!", and there was no violation of social distancing and only a brief violation of decorum.

( Somebody else's roses. )
