The US is Going to the Dogs

I'm sitting in the Red Carpet lounge at PHX - Sky Harbor International Airport, Phoenix. I'm asleep. Because I'm here for an early flight to San Francisco. I'm flying to San Francisco so I can then fly to Toronto.

Don't ask.

At any rate, HLN is on, and the news is weird.

The first article is about Soup Kitchens for Dogs.

I Kid You Not. Well, why not. After all, they're only human. And what dog wouldn't want to slurp up a batch of chicken noodle?

The second article is about service animals -- they're not just dogs anymore. Some are gerbils, apparently. People with service animals have the right to take their service animals everywhere they go -- supermarkets, restaurants, etc. And organizations that "discriminate" face big-time fines and reprimands.

Well, one legally blind gal has a seeing-eye horse. That's horse, as in h-o-r-s-e. There's a shot of her going through a supermarket. The implications of a horse in a supermarket or restaurant are not a pretty sight.

Have a great Sunday.


And that's the way the SFO-bound Ball bounces.
