Good dog

No, not Grady (although he's good too). I just remembered that last Saturday when we went walking around downtown, we stopped in Globus, which is one of the high-end department stores, to buy some pasta (they have an excellent gourmet food section). Anyway, as we were walking in, laying right in the doorway was a huge St. Bernard-ish dog looking completely unfazed by the hundreds of people walking around him (who were equally unfazed that a big dog was laying in their way). I keep trying to imagine an average American dog laying in the doorway of Macy's in New York without either running away or causing a customer traffic jam, and somehow it's hard to picture. (Granted, Globus in Basel and Macy's in New York aren't exactly comparable, but you get the point...)
