This is a short post today, and entirely silly, but I didn't want to leave yesterday's post up. It feels both like I'd be dwelling on the day and like I let the whole thing get stale by keeping it. I don't know if that makes sense, but if you think I'm just wasting pixels, stop reading and come back when I'm not being whimsical.
Yesterday we went to El Cholo in Los Angeles (the original, since 1927!) and celebrated our cousin Robert's birthday. Robert is 48 and is developmentally disabled.
As we were leaving, I saw the following store across the street:
I admit, a storefront selling puppies disturbs me, although I wonder what kind of business they're doing. "Puppy House" could mean a host of activities, only a few of them good. But then, I looked closer at their sign:
"Give Love for Family and Pretty Puppy" - What the hell does that even mean? Are they selling companion dogs for your pretty puppy? Is this an admonishment for parents who work too much? Or ungrateful kids? Aren't they a little presumptious to think you already have one Pretty Puppy? Someone decode this for me.
If you haven't entered the contest yet - put on your thinking caps and visit last week's blog here.

Nonsense marketing makes me warm and fuzzy inside.
But I can't try to decipher that sign for too long; otherwise, I think my brain mind start to bend.
Great find, Gayle!
It's a very diverse neighborhood, but there are lots of Korean signs. I'm wondering if the phrase makes sense in another language.
So happy to make your day, David!
