Black Dog . . .

 After the drizzle stopped this afternoon, I took newspapers to the recycling center.  As I was gettin into my truck to leave, I saw this black dog walkin across the parking lot with a paper plate in his mouth.  He didn't seem to be in a hurry.  When I called to him, all he would do is stop and look at me.  I just thought it was a bit unusual for a dog to be walkin around with a paper plate. . .  Maybe he was lookin for a 'handout.'
