The Lap Dog Situation
The Dangers of the Small Lap
``Last year,''declares the ``Lap-Dog Lovers' Annual,'' ``Over 3,000
Pekinese were injured in the falling off laps that were too small.'' As
little-lapped ladies will not give up their dogs, the society hopes to end
the danger by other means. It firmly advises the use of Pekinese Props
by all ladies whose laps have an area of less than five spuare inches.
Meeting the Theft Problem
Due to economic depression, lap-dog thievery is now on the increase. But
in Tulsa the ladies have fooled the felons. ``When we own a priceless
necklace,'' they reason, ``we lock it in the vault and wear an
imitation.'' Tulsa banks are now specializing in the lap-dog storage and
the ladies are coddling facsimilies made of muslin.
Combatting the Cat Menace
``Here in Toledo there are so many cats,'' writes Miss Heddie Sift,
``that the life of a Pekinese is one of terror. My own pet was so picked
on and bullied by cats that he actually was on the verge of a breakdown.
Fortunately I am a sculptress and have designed him a mask, behind which
the darling can now go practically anywhere unmolested.''
