dogs

At a forest temple near Chiang Mai, there were proverbs
nailed to trees, & these more modern posters,
most faded to blues, which appeared to illustrate the perils
of gambling, booze, the fast life. I find them funny,
especially since there are always lots of dogs & cats around
the temples ~ several bailed me up one day at a small
place, quite fiercely; as I grew up around
lots of animals, I knew what tone of voice to use.
