This one reminds me of a song of years ago called "Glendora"..A man falls in love with a mannequin in the window of a department store..Like the work if for a contest, good luck..Winner in my book..Thanks for stopping by..We live rural also and can just let Princess outside but when we went on holiday we had to walk her in certain places only..Sara
