Rip!

While London sits under a black cloud, we send love and positive thoughts to all the animals caught up in the Hemel Hempstead inferno.

In the meantime, over in west London, I happened to walk past Strip, an upmarket waxing parlour.

In the window I noticed they had ceramic dog biscuit jars and beautiful dog bowls for sale.

Why, I wondered, is a wax joint flogging dog stuff? Surely people don't bring their pooches there for some...defuzzing?! I know some celebrities like to carry their pets everywhere but that's taking things too far! Ouch!

Maybe they should rename the shop, Bitch in the House. After all, round the corner is Bitch in Slacks. An odd name for a shop, I thought. Come on, think about it; how many girl dogs do YOU know sporting this season's pants?!

Woof Woof
