Walking the Dog

I usually walk the dog in the early evening. 

The other dog walkers who go by my house don't seem to have an ongoing conversation with their pets but I talk to mine, making observations on her pace, her sanity (a frequent topic), and whether she sees any of her cat friends. 

I suspect that I've become known in some neighborhood circles as the man who talks to his dog. There's another notch on my eccentricity scale but that is fine. 

So far the dog hasn't answered back.

Give her time.
