#handbag dog

[velvetv0nblack]

I got a doggy carrier handbag so I could take my nervous dog ~ and ~ my happy go lucky dog more places on public transport whilst the car is broken down, it was only supposed to be a part time thing

... however I think Beau has other ideas, never seen this nervous wreck of a dog look so content and smug. RIP my already disabled body, let’s hope the work out regiment has paid off enough to pull this off

The female robot is an extraordinary mimic, and no one suspects that I, the dog in her satchel, am controlling her movements remotely. Men and women alike are always giving the robot their phone numbers, complimenting its haircut, inviting it to tapas. Not only did I program the robot to locomote on stilettos as if they were ice skates, I also designed its fabulous outfit; it sips skinny-chinos with an inhuman grace and never spills a drop on its white jacket. Meanwhile I steer myself through the busy streets in my soft leather berth, acquiring information for my future takeover. “Sooo cuuute!” the passersby squeal, patting my head, smearing their DNA all over me, and I beam their data directly to my home computer. Although it may have been a tactical error to stage the takeover from this particular bag, which is so luxurious that occasionally passersby ignore me completely and choose to pet the Tory Burch instead. Next time, perhaps, a JanSport.

(If you haven't read any Karen Russell, you should. St. Lucy's Home For Girls Raised By Wolves is my favourite short story collection of the last few years, her prose is beautiful and stories imaginative without falling into tropes. She also adapted one of the stories into a full length novel that is winning all the accolades. In short, she rocks.)

(I also cannot wait to finish this masters so I can start writing again :( )

Forget handbag dogs. Everyone should invest in a Poland chicken.
