Shopping Dogs . . .

The LA Times Magazine today actually had a very entertaining feature about dogs who go shopping with their human pets. Accompanying were some very cute pictures of a female version of Winston (she's almost as cute, but not quite) -- here and here.

Suffice it to say that Winston would never consent to wear a "pink mink" collar or purple tennis shoes. He revolts against sporting anything his Harrod's collar, designed to resemble an American flag.

As for shopping, he's much too busy confronting the squirrels in the yard or the German Shepherds in the neighborhood (yes, he thinks he's bigger and tougher!) to have any time for it. But to each his own . . .
