yellow dog....

ok, so...since the neighbor dog passed away the big yellow dog that we call yellow and the neighbor calls butter has been spending more time at our house......he was waiting for me to let him in for breakfast when i went out to get the newspaper this morning.....and he often waits for me to come home in the evening...presumably hoping for a little snack to tide him over.....til he goes back next door?.....last night he hung out in the back room while the youngest watched house....and swear that this big yellow dog doesn't smell near as much like cigarettes.....which means he is not spending much time in the sidestream of our neighbor's wife....who smokes inside rather than outside.....the poor beast has not lost any weight....so it is clear that somebody is feeding him more than he can burn as he spends his workday lounging on the neighbor's porch.....
