Sunday Morning Pancake Breakfast: Frat Boy Panorama
This is What Tyra Means by "Fierce"

When Blog Posts Get Too Real

When I wrote last week about crazy dog accessories like visors and rolling backpacks/prisons, I had only ever seen the items online or in stores.  At the time, I could proudly say that I had never seen any of those items in use out in the real world.

That was then.  This is now.

On Saturday I was at the dog park with Pancake and a woman showed up with what was probably the absolute worst item on my list: the dog stroller.  I tried to covertly photograph it, which was hard because my camera is huge and has a loud shutter noise (and I am about as naturally stealthy as a three-legged hippopotamus).  As a result, I'm pretty sure the stroller owner, her daughter, and about six other people and some of the more intelligent dogs figured out what I was doing, but whatever--I got the shot:

I was very intrigued (in a watching-a-trainwreck kind of way) to see what kind of dog(s) the woman was going to pull out of her stroller, and I was pretty un-surprised when they turned out to be chihuahuas in little outfits.  There was a boy wearing a blue T-shirt and a girl wearing a green dress.  You can kind of see them in this picture, but they are mostly blocked by a cute beagle puppy that got in the way:

If you look closely, you can also see that the girl chihuahua is also wearing a teeny muzzle.  This seems understandable to me, because if I were in her situation I don't think I'd be very friendly either.

I was able to snap one more picture through the fence as I left (seriously, how creepy am I with my chihuahua surveillance?) and you can kinda tell how wary the boy chihuahua was to be in a situation with other dogs:

He's all like, "Why is this beagle naked??"

OMG. Thank you for using your sleuthy, spy skills to make my day. Calvin would do anything for a stroller. I would do anything for a REAL dog.

Last summer I seen a bulldog in a red stroller being pushed around downtown. I about freaked out and died. He was so cute but HE WAS IN A STROLLER.

You mean you didn't want a stroller for your birthday? I hate returning things.

I own a dog stroller.

I have a dog stroller, I don't think they're all bad when they're used for dogs who are elderly and/or handicapped.
