[bodytext] => I saw my husky dog blitzed on the couch, her fur weak and inelegant in Vaudeville height. I saw my husky dog threadbare—yet markedly enwombed in the filament of warm pink blankets, those pink blankets that softly abdicate the nooks of tchotchkes and make crooked the pictures of my old huskies when thrown about for suite. I saw her sleek and hot, a corollary to the climate of some Saharan badland, and I told her like a human that I was from Africa and she— Asia. And that I had the bones to prove it, I say, and yet her African eyes, which might watch a husky kill a bird, go lolling in their sockets. And her paws twitch, as in a terrier who dreams of being husky and lives a snowflake among the boundless giants. And my tongue lashes her for seeming that maned ascetic who would work at the sled, when I would work in the shoots and spreads, save the working children— who might be in their dog days.
