family outing

we take a family trip
to the mountains and by family
trip
I mean me and my dog Oscar.

he likes to sit in my lap while
I drive.
head out the window, barking
at everyone.

we love the mountains.
the cool air.

the trees, the blue sky.

it's a family day, just
me
and him.

we walk along the path, greeting
others
with a bark
and a tip of the hat.

he loves it there. so many
trees. so many trees.
