A one-eyed dog named Rosie

 

Friends

Lilith and I crossed paths just now with the angry white man whose one-eyed dog wears a pink bow. He told me once that Hillary was the corrupt one, and another time he made racist comments about Arabs, who were actually Iranians. As we walked past and I hailed Rosie by name--he wore a mask and I did not--he laughed and said, "you've been ignored, Rosie." Lilith, it turned out, had her eye on another fluffy dog just down the way. I resisted thanking him for two of my vignettes just accepted by Bamboo Ridge for their next issue . . . I rather suspect (and hope) he's not a subscriber.
