such a sweet photo.
Well, life is all sweetness and light. I can’t sugar coat it. This guy has a scam with his little doggy. Nothing is ever like it seems. Though I wish it was.
Lois, were you being sarcastic?
what?! Last time I felt bad for the woman with the animal necklace and you turned me around. So this time, I figured…..good gosh. Yeah, the dog did it for me. Ugh!
No, I was serious! The little dog struck a chord with me.
Me too. I see this guy every morning on my way to work. People always stop, talk, give him money, suggestions, because he has the dog. He gets nasty with the latter, when people try to help in other ways besides money. Kind of pisses me off.
we have guys on the street corners here with dogs. I watch people stop their cars to hand them a bag of dog food. Yeah, not what they were looking for……shame.
oh, gosh, just read the discussion and you explaining what’s behind the scenes… such a shame!!
but the shot is awesome!!
It is a shame Alexandra. Too many people want something for nothing. The thing that gets me are the women who use their months old babies when they are panhandling. Local news did an expose on them some time ago. Believe it or not, it was even worse during the 1980s when Reagan was president.
Thanks.
