Crazy Super Dog N Pony Ride!!!

I know that after seeing the Gawker comments request of seeing Crazy Super Signs author Richard Martin having his little dog riding the little pony ride I said that it was my goal to get that photo, and argh, I didn’t get the scoop, but thankfully it was captured by Bay Ridge Rover…although a posed version of it, and I had actually thought of just asking Martin to pose for it myself….anyways here it is in all its glory…
In all honesty, when not mugging for the cameras, Richard Martin usually stands in front of the bouncing pony, watching and talking to the dogs; saying things like, “That’s it!!!” and “There you go!!!” which makes it really, really creepy - cause his voice sure as heck doesn’t come out as a soft, loving, almost as if you’re talking to a child voice, but moreso as if he’s a sadistic correctional officer of an all boy’s prison, and he’s watching them scrub the floors with their toothbrushes while in their skivvies.
(Shudder)
I still want to get that candid, creepy shot…
Not only does he look super skeevy, but the idea of him doing that regularly is really weird. How often does he do it?
I’d guess to say that during the warm months I’ve seen him doing it a couple of times a week at least. Thankfully is dog n pony ride season!
While he may look ridiculously creepy, his dog is looking quite posh. Check out the sweater!
Admittedly, i’m one to dress up my puppy and bring him to random stores, but never once have I put him on a pony ride. It’s just…weird!
