The city and inner suburbs can promise such strange characters. Even though you do naturally find strange and wonderful folk in every walk of life. Just something about the city that does wonders for eccentricities.
Now I do want you to use your wonderful imaginations here. I can only paint the picture so well and then it becomes yours to view as you please.
Bojana and I were off driving in Brunswick. The footpaths were filled with late night coffee goers and dog walkers. Usually when you picture a dog walker you picture a dog on the end of the leash. Because that's where the dog goes. You don't usually picture a dog walker with a vacumm. Now you are saying what made her a dog walker if she had a vacuum. Maybe she just had a vacuum?
Well it was the way she walked with the vacuum. She had the dog walk pace going. The kind though of an old dog. Not a sprightly fresh puppy look. She'd walk a few paces. Stop and peek back at the vacuum. I assume to see that it wasn't sniffing a post or that it was actually still even there. Then she'd start to walk again only to stop and look back in that "What are you getting up to back there Rover." Instead of Rover it could actually be Hoover. Now I wasn't the only one finding this a little odd, as passers by would look as they walked on by. She had the real deal I'm walking a dog attitude and I can think of no other reason for her actions.
SHE WAS A STRANGE VACUUM DOG WALKER!
What a handy dog to have though. It would make a mess and clean up after itself.
