.montgomery three.

when i was a kid we had a neighbour, mrs hargreaves who had a phone and a visiting dog. jip.

not many had phones then and we would go across the main road to the call box
or use hers in an emergency only

any way the dog was homely looking
with no fashions then in breed except perhaps the pekingnese

wandering the backstreets of this small town came to the football pitch by the allotments

getting on to lunch time it was

spoke to a lady with her dog a corgi/jack russell cros

s and talked in admiration
she thanked me and explained that he liked a walk before they went to bed and i wondered

then made my way back into town
where a cat was sitting in the road
