Week 23 - Clothes or Fur?

The little dog sits in the shade. It's a hot day in his home town. Fur can be awkward in the summer. But rest is not for this little canine as today he must again perambulate the subterranean maze that is know as The London Underground! Now, the four pawed little chap does not have to spend time 'getting ready'. He will venture out in the fur he stands up in. Not so for his master and the plenitude of two-pawed troglodytes he will encounter on his sojourn.

However these quotes show that there is hope for the Human Race:

"Just around the corner in every woman's mind - is a lovely dress, a wonderful suit, or entire costume which will make an enchanting new creature of her" ~Wilhela Cushman
