Dogs at the door
They are social animals, they bring offerings to greet you as you arrive home. They announce your arrival with a few barks but then go quiet while they search for something to offer as you open the door. Usually it’s a stuffed fur-fabric sheep, or an orangotang. They however, feel rent by a terrible dilemma. The toy is theirs, and you aren’t going to get it, it’s ok for you to chase them for it, but you ain’t going to get it! Yet still that same toy is the offering.
While caught up with this, the dog paces on the spot, wagging and looking sideways at you…
