Angel is a real dog (what is an unreal one?)

On Woman's Hour they're talking about stereotyping women with small dogs and someone has just suggested:
dachshunds are real dogs - what are unreal dogs?

women with dogs are seen as mad whereas men are seen as manly

- it reminded me of some writing I did years ago (when I had cats):

Thoughts in the bath

They burnt as witches

the women who had cats

as those who had dogs

were wooed as widows.

Thus we state independent or not.

The arch of a girl's eyebrows has

caused hearts to flutter.

The raising of a woman's

is a cold slap across the face.

Thus we state tractable or not.

Here's Angel's history:

she's the one with the buried head

the day she arrived with me

bringing outside in (it isn't always mud)

helping in the garden or mining?
