Cute Canine

I'm becoming one of those people. You know the ones...walking around with their dogs on leashes, carrying their fancy coffees, talking to other dog owners, taking their pets everywhere. I can't help it. Elliott is just small enough and so cute that people allow him where they wouldn't necessarily let other dogs go. I carry him into my local Shoppers Drug Mart and they just love him there. He's just really good too! When we wait for the light to change at a crosswalk, he sits next to my feet and waits for me to tell him to walk. When we went to the bank today, he did the same while I made my transactions. And the Starbucks that I frequent on our walks hands out free dog biscotti. Come on! It's like I'm living in dreamworld here. Everyone is so much more friendly when you have a dog. There's a park near my place and it's this entire community of people chatting while their dogs play. Elliott needs to be neutered so I haven't let him run free yet but hopefully soon. People always want to introduce their dog to yours. It's a big change for me considering my childhood terrier always wanted to kill any other dogs around, no matter their size. Elliott just wants to sniff bums. All the time. Oh, to be a dog.
