  Today while weeding in the garden
  where the daylilies and irises are up an inch to four inches
  and the hostas are still thinking about it,
  the new neighbor's three dogs unleashed
  (1 adult, 2 pups) came to visit
  ...the leash law has loop holes.
  No damage appeared done as I got up quickly
  and met them at the garden's edge
  ...after a sniff and a few kind words they went home
  ...I didn't yell or complain as I don't want the animals
  or the owners thinking of me as the opposition
  but I did look carefully for trampled greens
  and should it happen again, I will summon
  all the diplomatic courtesy / determination
  I can muster to speak gently but firmly
  about keeping unleashed dogs in ones own yard.
