On Tuesday I went to my 50294748442 trillionth apartment viewing, since I've had some practice in this field I've learned usually the deal breaker is the dog. Being the proactive genius that I am I decided I will bring him for my potential landlord to meet. I mean you can't be sad when you look at a corgi!!
Unfortunately for me Raleigh has a bit overstayed his welcome at the office, so I was facing the daunting task of getting off work, racing 29 miles south and back to make my appointment. (You are probably starting to see a pattern in the pet obsessed category, it gets worse.) Instead in my infinite wisdom, aka smart moments once in a blue moon; I decided to take him to doggie day camp.
From the moment I walked in the doors of a lobby, fancier than some offices I've seen, I knew I was among friendly company. Leaving was a couple who came, clearly frequent visitors as they were greeted by name, who looked groomed enough for the Westminster. Beside me, not so patiently waiting for their "pet condo" was a woman and her small dog, complete with a sweater.
Of course I came corgi in tow, with a bag packed enough for a week long stay, with kibble, toys, treats, blankets and even his own sweaters! After arriving I was walked through the daunting task of deciding what my little child should partake in. Ultimately we choose a spa day, and play time. I felt lactose free doggie ice cream might put on a few too many pounds.
While mingling with our kind Raleigh and I came to the conclusion that we have become "those people;" slightly pretentious, incredibly obnoxious city folk. Luckily I haven't migrated yet, so there's still some hope that I will refrain from purchasing a dogie stroller for him. But you never know! I have been told corgis are prone to hip problems. I realized, yes I have become "those people" and I'm damn proud of it!
On our way to day camp!
Love ya,
PPD
