The Dog Cafe, circa 1930

By Pablo Fanque, Reluctant Dog Editor (meaning Jack & Mona are definitely NOT "dog people")

The Dog Cafe, ca. 1930. Interestingly, if you search for Dog Cafes now, the results are for cafes that serve dogs (I didn't say serve dog). . .

It's a mystery to me: dog locks

Last night, at the Ballard Market, I saw (and not only saw, but thought about) a locking dog-leash

for the first time. I know people like their pooches, but I was a little baffled. Someone is going to snatch this St. Bernard? Will people actually steal something as troublesome as a dog?

For me, at least, the very dog-ness of a dog functions as a virtual lock. But I guess people really do steal dogs? And even if they don't, their owners love them enough that they want to make sure.
