Sometimes a trend can be happening for a few years or decades before I notice it. The tattoo –just above the crack on the ass of the fat girl with the lo-rise denim jeans–is something I only noticed last summer. Now the “newest” LA fad is the small dog usually owned by the hipster.

I wonder what the point of these yapping small animals is? They can’t be vicious watchdogs, they don’t catch frisbees in mid-air, they just yap and annoy and leave little poops around the house and yard.

Or maybe……. they really are lovable creatures. If a cat can be loved, so can one of these little dogs.
