Crazy Dog People

DogCarriage.jpgSo it had to happen. It isn't enough that every-other once hip, bohemian or otherwise artsy/kitschy shop in my South End neighborhood has morphed into an upscale mommy-and-me designer baby accessory boutique. Now it's our turn, the dog people. Check out this article.....

My idea of a crazy dog person used to be the type of person I've flirted with becoming; dressing the hound in cold weather jackets and/or rain slickers. Boudreaux has one of each but I swear that's as bad as I get.

Now, not only must city dwellers dodge the sidewalk-hogging SUV-sized baby strollers, we now have to brace for this: doggy strollers. I'm not kidding, I've seen one around my neighborhood already, not very long ago. Thinking it was just a fluke, I remember my friend Chris commenting on a mosquito-net enclosed doggy baby carriage we saw some lady pushing along the bay in San Diego a couple of years back. "Look at that" he said. "How long before you get the dog one of THOSE?" "Eh, how about NEVER?" but I admit I was fascinated. "Yeah but just wait," he said. "You'll be seeing them all over the east coast in no time. They like that sort of thing." If I didn't mention it before, Chris is a west coast snob, making time throughout his day in 75-degree sunny San Diego winter to message me about whatever snow storm I'm currently suffering in Boston. Yeah, that's how he rolls.

I suppose the trend really is catching-on now. As for me, I'll keep using the leash to bring MY dog to daycare and play dates. *humph*

So? MY doggie stroller has a dvd player, and beverage holders for both the human and the dog. AND 26 inch chrome rims.

Seriously, aren't doggie strollers one of the signs of the apocalypse? Everbody run!!
