A tan dog with black ears sits alertly on a towel, watching the lawn from a corner of a porch under sodium vapor light. What is she thinking? Dog thoughts.
We celebrated quietly, watching the wildlife in the sticky dusk. She's deaf as a post and has torn her ACL on one back leg, but for watching the armadillos and sprites cavort on the verge, neither is really necessary.
Serious question - if she does not hear well, is it now a case of "What's the point?"?
