Oh, absolutely. The "secretive-ness" of it and sometimes messing with vanilla's heads is certainly fun. And if I walked into a party with a leash around his neck, I would certainly expect people to give us strange looks (it would be kinda freaky if they didn't).
I was just lamenting that it seems you can't do anything these days without someone else telling you you're doing it wrong- what if he went to pick up your dry-cleaning? I'll bet the same people will pipe up with what's wrong with that.
Maybe it's just the same ten people over and over, doing their best to annoy the rest of us...
