There were so many dogs at the kennel today – it’s clear everyone has farmed out their dogs and gone away for the second part of the Passover.  We went to this forsaken site at the end of the world to pick up Orit’s dog so that he’ll be back home and clean before they get home from their trip.  And when we brought him to our place we suddenly noticed all the other dogs in the neighborhood howling in their windows because they’d been left at home while their owners were out celebrating.  It seems the holidays are not great for dogs.
