Observations from the leash

Things you notice when you have a dog in the city:
  • There's a lot of dogs in this town. I thought I knew this, but I didn't really appreciate the magnitude. Towing around a little pup who's idea of a good time is climbing all over any and every dog he encounters is a good way to really get a sense of chock full of canines Mahattan really is.
  • There's a lot of trash on the street. I thought I knew this, but I didn't really appreciate the magnitude. It's too easy to just not see the trash. Easy, that is, until you try to walk a dog who loves nothing more than scarfing up and chewing upon anything and everything that might be lying on the sidewalk.

    Say along with Mr. Nosuch: Drop it, Leo! Drop it! Drop it! Repeat as needed.
