"Oh great," came our Last Thoughts. "We've just been playing with some teensy Scottie doggies. WE SMELL LIKE A SCOOBY SNACK!"
Hahaha, awww! This is a great entry. I'm happy you weren't devoured by Teh Beast. Having a huge St. Bernard myself it's hard to imagine that anyone thinks she's huge, we still get surprised - other dogs look small, but the St. Bernard looks normal sized to us!
Seriously though, I don't understand why dog owners don't use leashes, at least with a running cat you don't have to be afraid that it's going to jump on you and devour you. In Scotland dogs don't have to legally be on leashes so when I was living there I'd walk down a busy street in the business district and just see a dog and their owner crossing the street together with nothing to stop the dog from just bolting. I didn't see many in London so I don't know if it's just Scottish law but you should ask Mr. Tiki if he ever saw that when he was over there - it's definitely scary! But kudos for slowly becoming a dog person - even though you don't have to walk a cat which I can imagine is a nice assurance in the Seattle rain. :)
