Hoof Prints

Life, how I view it, how unpredictable it is and how it can end up kicking you right in the ass.

For Goodness Sake, He's just a dog!

Once again my fellow citizens in The Land of The Wealthy(TLOTW)have shown their strange characteristics.

I was taking Zack down for a walk and while we were in the lift going downstairs, it stopped in on the 7th floor. A lady and her daughter were about to walk into the lift when they saw Zack. I was carrying him in my arms. The lady stopped dead and went " Eeeeee dog, don't wan don't wan, you go down" She grabbed her daughter's hand to restrain her because unlike her idiotic mother, the girl had enough sense to know that a little dog is quite harmless. I explained that Zack wouldn't bite, besides, I was carrying him. She said that he was dirty and didn't want to be in the same lift with him. Fine! So I did what any dog owner would do. I told her " I think my dog is a lot cleaner than you." And I pressed the close button.

You would think that the woman is a rare species, trust me, Zack and I encountered 2 more people like that during our walk. Despite the fact that he was on a leash, they felt that he was a major threat to their children's safety and thus, took great lengths to avoid us. One lady even gave me a dirty look! Hello?! HE IS A POODLE! How dangerous can he be?!

( By the way, this fantastic cake was baked by my colleague. You can see her other yummy cakes here)

Citizens in TLOTW need to wake up and see that we live on this earth with animals as well. The earth does not merely consists of trains, buses, cars and high buildings. In the meantime, there is nothing Zack and I can do about these ignorant people so we've decided to just enjoy our walks and ignore these bloody fools.
