that is part of the reason I knew better but
took the old dog for a walk anyways
took the old dog for a walk anyways
another reason is the look she gave me
a daring glance paired with an energized shake
the kind that had been missing this winter
this winter had been slow and sleepy
bones creaking through the snow banks
I convinced myself a little fresh air would be good for us both
We were a quarter mile down the road
in front of the cable company
repairing cables
and a cop directing traffic
when the dog started to shit
which is to be expected from a dog
but this particular shit
was not pick-up-able
at the very least it was
borderline
arguable
but not in my case
because I have a cop watching this all go down
with a daring glance
almost hoping I will walk away
but I do not
I brought a bag
and under his watchful eye
I do my best to clean up the shit
on the walk home I explain to the dog
that I will never take her for a walk
ever. again.
this is the fourth time we have had this conversation
