Dogs's Rules

Friday night is the Gros Islet feast. The tables and the benches are dragged from the sidewalk to the street. Containers and pots filled to the top with food placed on the serving tables. A plate full of rice, beans, vegetables, fish and chicken is inexpensive and music is to loud. The dogs move closer to the benches and wait their turn. They don't fight over the leftovers. They are street dogs, to them the rule no chicken and no fish does not apply. Crushed bones disappear in seconds. When the party is over, the dogs rest until next Friday. And we go 'home' to play cards and sip Rum.
