I am one of those people
who take their dog anywhere they can
especially to an outdoor venue—
Easter Sunday to a church picnic
on a beautiful sunny day
and all is well
until the pastor’s dog
meets my dog
and all hell breaks loose
(cuz my dog doesn’t like other dogs)
and my dog looks like the biggest sinner
snarling at the cute little white puff ball
the pastor’s dog so calm and composed
my dog lunging on his leash
head low to the ground
more snarls and lunges
sudden forward thrust of his body
paws extended outward to attack
serene picnic eating interrupted
all eyes on the snarly sinner
when I pull him back
tell him what a bad dog he was
no treat or reward for this behavior
then I forgive him his sin
