Routine

Nightly digestive walks at dusk: establishment of a routine. It’s good for them, dogs, to have things to anticipate. The regularity of it (timing, route) provides a sense of security. They are creatures of habit.

From the apartments and the houses, dining room light filters out into the indigo sky with echoes of voices, a clatter of plates, the laughter from a friend. In the evening, life erupts from the otherwise sleepy buildings.

On the route, we pass other dogs, eager to greet him, but mine in his haughtiness rejects signs of friendship.
