Outside the vet’s
There’s a bedraggled but waggly queue outside the vet’s.
A woman in white inhales deeply and opens the glass door.
Only the dogs move.
Baas on the baize
The wire grass nipped and chewed to ground level, the sheep lightfoot bounce on the bright lit slopes. Baas on the baize. Dogs arrive.
