CHAPTER 8

As the dogs trailed after Napoleon, the streets got narrower and more crowded. Lulu had gone downtown with Jasmine loads of times, but she was usually being carried in a handbag or carrier. She’d never roamed the streets like this before, and it was exciting! Everywhere she looked there were cars and bikes and people and dogs! Everywhere she smelled there were new, strange smells. The smells of the city.

Lulu’s days were usually so carefully scheduled that she didn’t have time to stop and sniff a tree trunk or investigate a pee-covered rock. Now everywhere she looked, the world was full of possibilities. Brand-new paths were waiting to be discovered and explored!

What a wonderful afternoon, she thought as she and Hugo raced each other to a big stick and tugged on opposite ends of it with their teeth. It was such a relief to not constantly ask herself, “What would a tiny, fancy person do?” or, “How would @LulusPerfectLife behave?” For once, she was just asking herself, “What do I want to do right now?”

King had excitedly stopped to pee, or to smell pee, ten times already on one block, and it looked like he was having a lot of fun, so Lulu started to do the same. As she peed on the sidewalk next to a mailbox, she thought about the other dogs who would come to this corner later, smell her pee, and know she had been there.

This is kind of like tagging your location on Instagram, she thought. Only with more pee! This must be how it felt to be a real dog, she figured. And it felt good.

But still, she did miss being carried. And her paws were getting pretty dirty.

Then they passed a storefront Lulu hadn’t seen before, with a lot of pretty clothes in the window. Colorful sundresses, stylish boots, sparkly hats.
