I see them walking. They pass right by my house. If I'm outside, I sit down on our porch and watch the parade. Sometimes I watch them out of a front window.
First comes Daddy pushing a baby carriage. It is one of those pushcarts that is completely enclosed in netting. To keep the bugs out, I guess.
Next comes the Mrs. She is an Asian woman. Cute as a bug. Her husband is tall and fair, an Americano obviously. Born in the U.S.A.
The woman is holding a pair of leashes. Each leash is attached to a dog. One of the dogs is small and white with black markings. The other is big. It looks like a cross between a pug and a roan horse.
And last but not least, walking at a leisurely pace at the rear of the parade is a cat. The cat has no tail.

People watching is my favorite sport.
This is exactly why I love people watching.*
So that's what happened to my cat Bandit. At least it looks like she's found a good home. *
A motley bunch
You never know what you'll see when you're watching.*
I like the irony that the end of the parade is tailless. Good stuff, Jake.*
Amanda, Matthew, Oliver, Gary, Daniel. Thank you very much for watching my parade. Sorry about Bandit, Matthew. I hope that now she is found.
Nice. Yes, you'll never know what you'll see. *
Especially like the cat without tail as the closing figure.
Yeah, like the cat pulling up the rear--w/o a tail. A tale, nonetheless.
