O/T: Rose-Mary's Baby
Dudley Hanks
Mich and I had some business to do downtown, so I hopped on the number
eight, and away we went.
As is often the case, a young mother with a baby in a stroller was there,
and as usual, Mich wanted to get his head in there and give the kid lots of
puppy kisses. I gave the mother my usual "Oh, he loves kids," and she
responded with the standard reply of, "Oh my little guy just loves puppies,"
and all seemed normal in the universe.
But everything went supernatural on the way home.
I was waiting at my usual stop by the hotel McDonald, and got on like
normal, taking note that, once again, a baby in a stroller was just behind
the driver.
Then, I felt Mich fidgeting around, and I thought he was trying to get over
to sniff the baby and give it a few of his kisses.
I started, once again, with the, "Oh, he just loves kids," but something
wasn't right. And, as the mother responded with, "Well, he doesn't seem to
like mine," I noticed he wasn't trying to get over to the baby, he was
turning his back on the kid.
Try as I might, I couldn't get him to sit properly in the aisle, he wanted
to get as far away from the kid as he could, and he wouldn't even look in
the direction of the stroller.
"He seems agitated, ... Not very happy," the kid's father chimed in, and it
was all I could do to keep from saying that he had been perfectly happy
until he met their child.
I don't know if they had their baby in a costume, but, I swear the kid was
the devil's spawn...
Happy Halloween!
Take Care,
Dudley

My guess is that the second baby had a smell that the dog didn't like.
Not the diaper smell, but some chemical smell from clothing, medicine,
or baby powder. Maybe even a food smell.

I've had similar, though not quite so dramatic, encounters with older kids
in colourful costumes. But, it's the first time a guide of mine has reacted
to a baby.
it's quite possible the kid was dressed up for All Hallows Eve, but I'm
sticking with my Rose-Mary's Baby narative. It makes a much more festive
tale...
Take Care,
Dudley

Hmm.
The primary difference between he and thee, Dale, is that Dudley
actually *has* friends.
Other than that, your post was just as OT as his, except that *he*
wasn't being self-righteous.

Not to worry, Dudley: he's not moderate.

Or even a native organic (sweat glands or somesuch) smell, native to that
particular child. Dogs are VERY odor sensitive.

Is Halloween a Canadian tradition, as well as an American one? If so, I imagine that
your countryman, "RichA," dressed up as a plastic digicam!
