The Crazy Lady With The Dog

That's what I envision myself being called by all the people in my neighborhood.  While I am out on walks with Jake, I constantly talk to him.  When he goes to the bathroom, I always exclaim in delight what a good boy he is.  If it is raining, I've been known to bring out the umbrella, not for me, but to put over him.  Well, this week, I think I pretty much sealed the deal on that title.  I have purchased a Doggie Stroller.  Oh yes, I am fully aware that in another life I would have definitely made fun of me and called me the neighborhood weirdo.  But, you see, little Jakey can't walk as far as I would like and I hate the thought of coming home after work to see him only to leave him again to go on a long walk.  Now, he can come with me!  It is amazing what age and priorities will do to you.  When I was younger there would have been no way in hell I would have pushed my dog around in a stroller - it would have called to much attention to me.  At 35, I could give a rip.  Whatever makes Jake happy makes me happy - to hell with the judgemental people!

So with that, I will *officially* begin my reign as The Crazy Lady With The Dog this Saturday.

All hail the Queen.

  1. Aww, poor Jake. How old is he? If he's an older dog, he might have arthritis or something. I don't blame you. If I lived in a neighborhood where we had to walk our dogs rather than let them run around without leashes, I would probably have to put my Sammy in a stroller, too. :)

  2. How sweet! I have a wonderful dog too and I walk him every day. I don't know if people think I'm crazy or not, but they can't help but see me walking him several times a day.

    I don't really talk to my dog, but I do talk to myself when I walk. Sometimes I pray out loud or talk to myself. It makes the walk go faster.
