    DOG DAY

    It’s eyes followed me round the room. An ugly porcelain dog sitting in a doughnut. ‘You want sugar?’ the old lady asked. ‘No, ma’am. Just milk.’ She handed me the cup filled with weak tea. She shuffled to a chair. All the while the damn dog had it’s eye on me. ‘Thanks for letting me…
