Woof (woof woof)

In an effort to slow the overcrowding of China's largest cities, the government passed yet another borderline-oppressive regulation one month ago. Effective immediately, residents of Beijing must now abide by the "One Dog Policy."

You heard that right, no more Lady and the Tramp; it's one or the other and you'd better choose soon before the police catch you walking your two cute yappers outside together. Several of our dog-owning friends have begun new lives of deception by only walking their furry friends under the cover of night.

In addition a limited quantity of pets, height of dogs in the cities has also been limited to 30 cm. However, this doesn't seem like much of an issue though since most Chinese prefer little yappy muts anyways (an inference made after steering my bike around countless little pomeranian-like dogs in sweathers, boots, and hats running around the courtyard).

One child, one dog. I'm not sure what they'll limit next, but I'm going to think twice before investing in a pair of beta fish.
