The dog at 311 finally got his name right
He’s been barking at the mail slot for seventeen years, and today I finally remembered to call him by the name on the file: Earl. Not ‘you old bastard’ or ‘the one with the drool’, but Earl. He looked up like he’d never heard it before. I swear he wagged once. Small things. They’re all we’ve got.

Seventeen years is the time it takes for a new stand to properly settle in. Funny how a name's the same—you say it right once and something finally takes root.
