The theme for today is :Burley men and small dogs.  In the middle of the day, I took a lunch hour run and there was an inordinate number of large, manly men walking small dogs.  Not Miniature Scnuazer/English Terrier small, but Pomeranian/SchTzu/Teacup Poodle small.  First, was a gay couple proudly walking a tiny blond pomeranian wearing a sweater. But the there was a college student looking kid, hoody, ipod, and tiny SchTzu on a leash.  Then an older, middle age Swedish Farmer looking guy walking some thing like a poodle?  I'm serious. They say that people pick dogs that look like themselves/represent their personalities.  This idea gave me pause as I passed. I guess I should be glad that men can embrace their dainty side.  I mean, I can't even do that.  The run was hard.  I was tired by Noon and have had my energy sapped by 14 straight days of hard core pre-tax filing discussions about non-cash charitable contirbutions.  See, you're tired just reading that.

It's probably better we weren't running together today...I'm sure if you had pointed out big men with dainty dogs I would have had a giggle fit that even my sense of common decency wouldn't be able to hide. We did do 4 the other day. :)
