Happy endings about the coffee shop…

Some people asked why I refer to the Uptown Dunn Brothers Café as “the brothel.”

Well, the café isn’t a brothel, but apparently there was one upstairs.

I mentioned the café before because of the odd naked mannequin in the back:

Well, after the story of the brothel broke, the people who live up there put a sign on their door: “THIS IS NOT THE BROTHEL! THE BROTHEL IS ON HENNEPIN!”

Apparently they got a few unwanted visitors seeking a happy ending with their latte.

Stay classy Minneapolis.

Sweat it out

I started walking the krakens around Lake of the Isles after our car disaster.

It’s a gorgeous walk:
Lake of the Isles
Lake of the Isles
Lake of the Isles
…but I need to take the krakens to the lake earlier in the morning because halfway through today’s walk we started baking like SuperAmerica sausages, and the dogs took turns dramatically plopping down on the pathway like “IT’S TOO HOT! FUCK THIS SHIT!”
Lake of the Isles
Lake of the Isles
Lake of the Isles
Then I get frustrated, chaos ensues, and we get dirty glares from old people who don’t approve of big dogs sassing their owner.

Another favorite lake passtime of the krakens is foraging for ticks in the underbrush.
Lake of the Isles
Ugh.

I signed Harley up for an obedience class today. Maybe we can fix some of these misbehaviors…if not, tasers come in fashion colors…
