How Much is that Doggy in the Box?

Tonight we were "downtown" going to our regular Saturday night dinner spot, Papa John's, when we noticed that the foot bridge was more crowded than normal. Our curious minds took us over to the bridge to see what all of the commotion was about. It turned out that the foot bridge had been turned into a mini market, where there were people selling handbags, underwear, socks, jewelry, and the cutest little puppies you can imagine. Ellie really wanted to take one home, but of course, that was not going to happen because we are gone too much. When I told her this she said, "Well mom, ayi can just take the puppy home when we are not there." She makes it sound so easy which makes it even more obvious that she is not responsible enough to get a new puppy!

The puppies were very cute and looked healthy, but when I saw these little kittens stuck in the cages, my heart broke. They were miserable. I hope someone adopted them and they found a nice home where they are free to roam.
