Dog day afternoon

Brian and Beth Morris lived in a smallish rural town. They were both 40 and had been married for 20 years. They had two sons and a dog Goldie. One son was boarding at University in the city and the other one worked interstate. Brian had always worked in the local council and had gone up through the ranks to be CEO. When the boys left he wangled a job for Beth on the council team. She was made in charge of the animals in the shire. It was a job she took seriously.
