The world has gone fucking mad.

In a cafe, some one lab puppy slowly escape from his owner to lick the croisant flakes off my plate when I went to get a coffee top up. How could anyone be upset by that? I had a new bestest friend to give fuss to while his owner was busy gassing to her friend about someone having an affair. While the doggy hoped for more food.

We used to drive through France to get to Spain each year. Eating in French restaurants, when we found one open, we'd often see people with dogs on their laps, feeding them from their plates!

My Sisters Westie could barely walk round the house as he had arthritis in a lot of his joints, but would sit at the door whining to go on his walk. She got a dog pushchair and pushed him on his usual walk and he loved it. She'd stop at certain point and let him have a sniff and a wee etc. So pushchairs in those circumstances area good thing, but having one as some sort of parental fashion thing or putting a dog in a handbag is just stupid.

Our dear old girl, Sage, loved going out in her doggy pram. She suffered from various ailments in her last few years. She'd stand up to signal time for a wee etc and stop when she wanted back in. People would stare and make comment, but we could care less. She deserved it for all she'd given us. Miss her so much even now.
