K-9s

This evening, Jasper tugged on his leash and dragged us over to a favorite place, a quiet campus for the California DMV, where he likes to bark at rats, cats, and other small animals as he pleases. Usually it’s quiet there, but today in the parking lot there was a conclave of ten police vehicles - ten K-9 units. The alert police dogs in the vehicles could see Jasper, and started barking in unison. In clueless response, Jasper started barking at the unseen dogs behind their tinted windows. Better not to pull this dragon’s tail. I eased us away before anyone opened a vehicle door.
