Duane Anderson
Our dog stares at me letting me know she is ready for dinner. It is only three in the afternoon and she is ready to eat. She doesn’t know that it isn’t four o’clock, her usual dinner time. Her stomach is telling her otherwise. I let her stare at me knowing she wasn’t going away until I put food in her bowl. I continue reading my book as she continues her begging look.
