Marin Dog Party

What's with Paris Hilton starting the trend of everybody bringing their dogs everywhere?  I know it's cute and trendy to wear a little yappy mutt like a fashion purse, but this is just dog-gone ridiculous.  Now it's people bringing their giant poodles, greyhounds, and pit bulls to private functions like house parties and weddings.

I can't make this stuff up.

Tonight I went to a party at a private home.  The host is an Italian wine broker and he has been hosting this party the Saturday before Thanksgiving for the past 15 years.  Of course, he now lives in Marin.  Host can't help he was born of privelege and was sent to the  snobbist, private schools in Pebble Beach. He is actally a very nice guy and does not advertise his background or think that he is "all that"  That's why I like him.

Anyway, his guests did not get the memo.  They show up at his house acting like they own the place  bringing their obnixious little kids and dogs in tow.  Then there is the old lady crew who showed up with their obnoxious husbands and dogs in tow.

Unlike years past, there was a "tip jar" on the kitchen bar for the Marin Humane Society.  I don't know who put it there, but there it was.  As the evening went on, the little kids got cranky, the old man husbands got cranky, and the many dogs there started to growl, bark and yip at each other gunning for alpha male status.

Sorry, but I don't believe in bringing small children, dirty old men, nor dogs to an adult wine party. We want to relax, too, and don't want to babysit your little kid, nor shoo off your horny old huband and/or dog while you make social rounds laughing and eating oblivious to your responsibilies.

Of course, I have no filter and can't help myself in situations like this.  I exclaimed, "Wow!!!!  There sure is a lot of money in the jar for people wanting to bet on the dog fights that are about to happen."

It was sooooooo politically incorrect to say.  That's why I said it.
