Hey, that dog has condoms on his feet

Ozzy's bootsLast winter, Ozzy became anxious about walking on ice and snow. I think the real issue was the salt. So Lara did what any irrational pet owner would do. She went out and bought him boots, which I faithfully (and patiently) put on him for winter walks.

Yesterday, we were walking up 14th Street and came upon a group of young women who clearly had been taking full advantage of the spontaneous boozy brunch deals that erupted across the District in honor of  the snow day. As soon as they spotted Ozzy, one of them said, “It looks like he’s wearing condoms on his feet.”

Amid the laughter from everyone except poor, chagrined Ozzy, she asked if it was tough to put the boots on.

“Yup,” I deadpanned. “Just as hard as putting on condoms.”

SnoBama at the Dupont Circle ice sculpture competition

SnoBama

Lara and I took advantage of the snow day in D.C. to grab lunch at Annie’s and then go over to the Dupont Circle Snow Sculpture competition, where SnoBama (above) and the Snow Hipster (below) were two of the cooler efforts we saw.

Ozzy and I talked up to Meridian Hill Park yesterday, where we found Joan of Arc looking down on the District from the top of the hill. Wikipedia alleges this is the only statue of a woman on horseback in D.C. Meridian Hill Park also has a great Dante statue and a tribute to James Buchanan.
