Lady with a Dog Purse

Today, I was strolling down Venice beach when something caught my eye. I saw a lady jogging along the beach shore with a dog along her waist. At first I thought she was wearing a fanny pack with a stuffed animal in the pouch pocket. However, as I more closely observed this odd scene, I noticed that she was actually wearing the stuffed animal across her shoulder. Then, I looked even more closely and noticed that the stuffed animal was actually a real life puppy! The lady stopped for a rest on a public bench, so I being curious and nosey, walked up to her to ask about the puppy.

To make things a bit less awkward, I first initiated a casual conversation with the “puppy lady.” You know the “What great weather we have here today…” After only a few minutes I could not hold it in any longer, so I popped the ever so anticipated question: “How the heck is your puppy attached to you?”

The lady enthusiastically described to me what she was wearing on her shoulder. It turned out that the puppy was strapped onto a puppy harness which was then connected to a shoulder strap. She told me that she purchased this unit aka “Dog Purse” on the web. She also told me that they had all sorts of styles, colors, and sizes for every occasion.

For all you puppy owners, ever think about throwing your expensive designer purse out for a day? Try investing in one of these awesome “Dog Purses!”
