Observation - alert


One night when I was walking the dogs I noticed that they were completely alert. Now it`s not as though they tended to ignore their surroundings. As a general rule however, their interests were the smells of the ground or trees, especially traces of other dogs.

That night their heads were up, their ears cocked forward.

I looked around. Three men had made awide triangle around us. One in front, two behind on either side of the street.

Once they realized I`d seen them, they and their formation faded away, after a final clash against a car door.
