she follows us around like this
wedged between our legs.
this must be "effect of pandemic on dog",
the same dog that used to sleep all day
now seems incapable of being alone,
herding me inside if I am out, nudging
me when I am holding the baby,
how I dare I,
keeping safe from potential dangers
such as the sporadic firecracker or thunder
even though its not the season.
it's hard to walk like this, with this dog,
I pity her for her anxiety,
I wish she'd just go to her bed.
