OFF LEASH: On compliments
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler.
Everyone likes a compliment now and then. Even those who feign indifference cannot help but be secretly pleased.
That goes for me, too. This morning, while out on my walk, one of our neighbors -- a stylish yoga instructor who lives one block over -- called out to me. "Looking good, Fiddler!" she said. Her comment was no doubt prompted by the faux-leather jacket I recently acquired. It was purchased to help keep me warm during the chilly winter months (unlike fluffier dogs, I do not come equipped with natural insulation; I get cold). But along with its utilitarian function, the jacket is also undeniably attractive. I do, indeed, look good in it.
And I appreciated the compliment. If that makes me vain, well, so be it.
