Pet Peeve

It used to happen all the time. "Feed those dogs!" people would shout as they drove by. Now in their dotage, the dogs are thinner than ever, but we haven't been catcalled in quite a while.

They get so many compliments from strangers, I'd almost forgotten the woman in the East Bay dog park who looked at Zap and sniffed, "I would've gotten a different color." This from a dumpy middle-aged woman walking an equally undistinguished-looking dog.

This brought it all back.
