A Two Beagle Morning

[ndrosen]

On the way to the farmers’ market this morning, I met a man with his beagle Baron (as in Snoopy’s antagonist, the Red Baron). I had encountered them before. Baron jumped up my leg, wrapped his forelimbs around my lower thigh, and eagerly accepted petting.

At the farmers’ market, I saw a man I know with his beagle Sarge, who didn’t seem that enthusiastic about me. The man explained that he hadn’t yet bought any meat, so Sarge didn’t have anything to be enthusiastic about.
