What a coincidence you should mention "froo-froo dogs". Here we call 'em "purse dogs." And I do not approve of purse dogs. The ME and I have been discussing over the past several months the merits of various pet species, excluding boyfriend, for acquisition.

Exhibit 01
Purse dogs do not good bed warmers make. (All dogs are reliable bed occupants; boyfriends, not so much.) Purse dogs do not necessarily consume less Q and P than medium- and large-sized dogs over their respective lifecycles. (Let us agree simply, generally, that medium- and large-sized dogs will eat anything, and that is a feature not a bug.) Purse dogs are inadequate security providers. So are cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters and Guinea Pigs, for example. Purse dogs do not require seasonally adjusted outdoor access to urinary and bowel relief such as exterior door modification or a dedicated interior toilet facility (Exhibit 01) might provide in lieu of human supervision outdoors. Purse dog care generally entails a higher co-efficient of supervised exercise to weight <reckless eyeballing> than medium- to large-sized dogs to moderate health outcomes. Finally and in any event, we all know the ME will be assigned walking duties regardless of season.

omfg. Did you see this?

FORD'S GUIDE TO FINE DINING: "As for my wife, she makes me smile. She humanizes me. I never thought I'd do it, but she has me walking her tiny Chihuahua who's 11, even though I get funny looks. Fabby, by the way, is a New York creature. Tough. Takes on every big dog that comes near her. And we both love our neighborhood. Places like Rosa Mexicana, Starbucks, BLT Fish or, after church, First Presbyterian on 12th and Fifth, it's Big Daddy's on Park and 20th. They do great fried chicken."

full monte if you dare...
