Not for nothing did a very handsome man recently pronounce Bon-Bon a “chick magnet,” but the demographic he most reliably sweeps the boards with are older Italian men who spend a lot of time in their front yards. They can’t get enough of him. Their eyes start from their spheres like stars, they put down their garbage bags, their garden hoses, their paper cups of coffee, and turn away from masculine friends of many years in order to get closer to something small and beautiful and unknowable, and then they tell me about themselves.
Amazing. Once, walking my fluff ball, I thought I was getting cat-called. A guy had slowed his car, and rolled down his window , and was saying something to me. I was trying to ignore it until I realized he was cat-calling my dog. "What an adorable pup!! So freaking cute! Can I say hello??" I laughed and said yes, he pulled over, and crouched down and introduced himself (to my dog) while telling her (my dog) that she reminded him of his best friend growing up. Wholesome and unexpected.
What is it, indeed! He is a cloud. He is a prince. He belongs in a royal court, tending to someone's ankle. "What is it?" Too much for us (normal, human, people) to take in.
Reminds me of walking my 1st Chin in Brooklyn! You may get comparisons to skunks or swiffers from men (or maybe to another dude they’ll be less rude), but you’ll have Bon Bon and your fluffy angel will be undisturbed because he has you!

Bon Bon is a balm unto Gilead.
Is there a beauty filter on these snaps or is Bon Bon just that ethereal?
I love that you're on the east coast now bc the old Italian New Yorker/New Jerseyian/Philadelphian is actually an archetype I deeply know
The Bon Bon content is getting me through... absolutely everything these days. A tiny fluffy balm to my soul.
Few things have made me more nostalgic for the Northeast than this little portrait. <3
He takes a pet like no problem.
Bon. Bon.
My landlord continues to deny me pets. I sent her a photo of Bon-Bon just to ruin her day.
oh my, was that italian-speaking man saying "how much is that doggy in the window?" ♥ i swoon
What's the story with that vet down the street? She is anathema to the community.
