A Day for Black Pets

They know how to soak up April sun and shade, and they know how to charm.

This mama dog and her two puppies waited patiently atop the steps until I gave the high sign. Then they wiggled down, licked my hand, pawed me, and let me pet them, one at a time. They had been lazing on a warm
afternoon.This little cat, on the deck of his mama's coffee house, lay in the direct sun, soaking in the heat, before he moved to the shade near me and slept like a spiraling sinew.
Oh, to be a black dog or cat, a loved pet, on a beautiful day filled with sun and shadow.
