paralelo
Wednesday. A dog followed me home from the panadería. Brown, scruffy, one ear up and one ear down, no collar. He sat outside the gate for two hours and Carmen gave in before I did.
I named him Paralelo. Carmen says that's a stupid name for a dog. She calls him "el perro" in a tone that means he's staying.
I made flyers on the computer with his photo: ¿ES TU PERRO? and our phone number. Stuck them on lampposts all the way down to the park. Somebody must miss him. He's very polite.
