The "d" word

Hahaha! I walked over to my neighborhood starbucks to wash away my lethargy and took my best accessory on a stroll with me to enjoy a dose of sunshine. On a walk that must have been all but 10 minutes, 2 complete strangers felt compelled to point out the obvious- my furry little buddy is not really all that little. He's about 10 pounds "not little".

Now, these strangers weren't trying to be mean, just helpful. Momma would have kicked some ass had their tone been anything but. 'Cause no one talks shit about my little man! :)

The first careful observer, if he could be honest, should practice what he preached if ya know what I mean. The second, was a sweet old man, with a thick accent, and it was a strange coincidence how he said the exact words as the first: "He needs to be on a diet."

Tenzo, totally oblivious to their comments, just pranced proud as can be, right on by. Me? I just smiled, as I simply replied "I know" and walked on by.

Look at him-with a smile like that, the fact that he could afford to lose a few pounds is overshadowed by that bright, sweet, irresistible face.
