We were crossing the junction when I spied this serious little dog sitting right in front of the clothes shop outside Wufenpu. He never moved the whole time I was there taking photos.
I assumed he belonged to the shop, and perhaps his job there was to inspect the goods being delivered to the shop.
Seemed to be doing a good job :P and all without moving an inch from his sit position!
He’s a very solemn little boy dog, this one is.
Wufenpu & Sassy Dog
Wufenpu is another rabbit warren of alleys lined with tiny shops selling clothes and accessories. The area is a garment wholesale paradise, stocking clothes and fashion stores in the city. So it is the place for bargain hunting tourists and locals.
The prices are low and correspondingly the quality can be rather cheap. You have to have the time and a good eye to pick up items that won’t fall apart too soon, among the chaos and poorer quality clothes within.
Me, it just gives me a headache really. So I just skim discount racks to buy wear and throw T-shirts like this one:
I also wanted to check out the store for dogs there called – Sassy Dog. It’s real small outlet and I was disappointed that they didn’t have anything in Donna’s size. This store is good for small dogs, and I guess it made sense since the Taiwanese has sometimes been described as treating their dogs as fashion accessories.

That was a Westie (West Highland White Terrier) with a really bad groom job. It’s been almost 2 years since Kenzie, the Westie, left us and we still miss him.

I can’t tell a good groom job from a bad one since Donna is wash and go! :D Just returned a book on breed grooming standards yesterday. Obviously borrowing it only to return it after leaving it on the dining table for the last two weeks didn’t help. HAHA!
Kenzie must be glad that you still remember him :)
