The rain had gone away.

I padded through the wet with glee--

SIDEWALK HOPPING

PUDDLE JUMPING

WEEEEE!

"Always something."

"Hey. You, with the dog."

"Who, me?"

"Can you take our picture?"

Hawaiian shirts, fanny packs on display.

I run a circle, wrap my leash

tightly around Suga's feet.

CLICK

"Sick!'

"I can't believe...they didn't ask me my name."

Stunned, he watches them walk away.
