The route
Marge keeps a schedule. It's why she's on time.
One zone a day, 20 minutes of drive time between dogs, and no cross-town dashes at noon. Sundays and Mondays I'm off — Monday is van maintenance and paperwork day.

I add a new zone when about a dozen dogs in one part of town are waiting. Tell me your ZIP up top and I'll write to you the day it happens — Beaverton and Milwaukie are the closest to happening.
