Dogservation

City life can be tough on dogs. Concrete jungles are not made to be paw-friendly. One sees many things on a walk in the city. The spot-on dogservation or observation featured the following true to life example of the unique treatment of the generic small dog. Since dogs of the small kind can't walk into the food store along side their owner, they must be hidden. In this case Fluffy (actual name withheld) takes it in stride. Seems this has been done before. Black purse that is really a dog kennel on the shoulders even includes a mesh screen,vented for ease of breathing on one side. Imagine shoving a large dog into a similar contraption.  It would be equal to the challenge of possessing a Halloween fetish as a Jehovah Witness.  Good luck with that.  The tiny dog is different. They go in like a sinner into a confessional, willing but edgy as it is dark and creepy in there.  It becomes a test of where the line of loyalty through faith intersects with fear.  The dog obeys, as if it has a real-choice, like a free-election in Libya.  So small dogs can become purse items just like that.  If the memory is serving, the common-purse products presented to a school-aged child included Kleenex that had absorbed the smell of fake-leather and overly sticky single-packs of butterscotch candy or peppermint swirls.  Never a dog.
