“My pack was lying on the ground next to me, each of the dogs staring intently at me, their stares broken only if a mourning dove swooped by, a dog barked in the neighborhood, or a hummingbird visited the feeder suction-cupped to the kitchen window. Even then their attention was only drawn away momentarily. I couldn't stand it. I knew it wasn't the case, but they all appeared to be begging for food. So I went in the house and got some saltine crackers from the cupboard. I sat down on the love se...at, ate a few, and then threw one to each dog. Washington tried to jump and catch his, Annabelle ducked, and Kobee cowered. I continued to eat and share crackers, and before long we had finished the whole package. Parched from the dry snack, the dogs filed through the dog door into the house to drink from their water bowl. Gradually the rest of the world stretched its arms and wiped the sleep from its eyes, and the sound of traffic filled the air. Though it was Sunday, in my timeless mindset, I imagined it was the sound of everyone going to work as I normally would.MoreLessRead More Read Less
