Women, especially older childless women, have always tended to be a little nutty about pets. I attribute that to the empty womb syndrome, which in our society is particularly exacerbated by the fact that said womb has probably been the site of many abortions.

However, what really freaks me out is when I see a strong, healthy young man walking along the street with a dog (usually a chihuahua or other small breed) strapped to his chest in a baby carrier. I live in a tourist town, and I can’t tell you how often I have seen men carrying dogs in baby carriers on their chests or backs or have seen them pushing dogs in strollers along the street. (And these are not gay men...they’re usually accompanied by wives or girlfriends.) That upsets me much more than seeing ditzy spinsters and their anthropomorphized pets.

That’s strange.

Those men are

as badly as Obama!

“And these are not gay men...they’re usually accompanied by wives or girlfriends.”

They are gay men; the women are probably their sisters.
