The Open Corner: July #4

We seem to be starting a trend of letting our summer Open Corner series bleed into the month following. But what else is summer for if not taking things a little slower and letting them happen when they happen? As with all the entries in July, I think this last one was worth the wait.

Enjoy and Happy August!

BIRD, DOG

This is Tilly. She is the sweetest,* most beautiful, most wonderful dog in Ditmas Park or maybe the whole world.

*except to other dogs sometimes. Sorry, Tank.

People often ask what breed Tilly is. She’s what I call a mullet dog:

Inconceivably, not everyone loves Tilly as much as I do. There’s a tribe of sassy mockingbirds on the block who have been taunting her

and chasing her down the block, and even attacking.

Brooklyn birds. It figures.
