“Biscotti”

[ndrosen]

Emerging from the supermarket a few hours ago, I saw an older woman with a tricolor beagle, and asked if I might become acquainted. Although some of the local beagles do not reciprocate my interest in being friends, this hound, whose name is Biscotti, seemed to enjoy being petted, and climbed my left leg, scratching my knee a little before finding a better place for her paws on my shorts.

I told the lady about my childhood buddy Rex, also a tricolor beagle, and she said that Biscotti was a lab rescue, who had been used for breeding. I mentioned that we had adopted Rex from the Pennsylvania SPCA.
