Well, I finally decided it was time to check out the other Doggie Bag, The Doggie Bag of Bartow.

Honestly, I have felt quite put off and slightly offended at the fact that all the buzz is about this other Doggie Bag.  "How's Bartow?"  "I can't wait to visit the Bartow store!"  "The Bartow store is sooo cute!"  Ughhhh, enough already!  Hello, I'm Great!  I'm Cute!  And, I am right here at The Doggie Bag of Lakeland, why go anywhere else?

OK, I hear you, it's not always about Skippy (well, YES it is).  But, I thought maybe I was being a little too sensitive, and before judging I should see for myself.  And, I have to admit the other Doggie Bag, The Doggie Bag of Bartow, is quite nice.  I'd even go so far to say it's cute.  I'll give my Human credit, she did a nice job, and that little town of Bartow does have quite a bit of charm.  But, and a big but, there is absolutely no room for me!  No front window stage to lay in and be admired by the people.  No private office for my naps.  Not even a space for a special "Skippy" bed!  So, apparently my Human has no plans to bring me in as a "silent" partner in The Doggie Bag of Bartow.  Oh well, her loss! I won't be moving to Bartow anytime soon.  The Doggie Bag of Lakeland will continue to be blessed with my presence, and my fans can be sure I'll continue to Wow them with my beauty and overall Greatness!  The Doggie Bag of Bartow will just have to find a way to survive without me.

'Till next time,
Skippy, OSCTDB
