I just don't know what to think about this:
Renting Dogs
The first page of the article gives some of the negatives, the second page gives some of the positive points, but over all I think it makes more sense to have more doggy daycare places so your dog doesn't have to be lonely during the day, and more flexible training classes available from the adoption centers that let people take dogs for walks. The animals who live in hotels really shouldn't enter into the discussion - they have a stable home, and probably see most of the same people on a regular basis. But even if these people who rent dogs feel that they have some connection to these animals on the weekend, I gues I just think that if you can't really properly take care of a dog, suck up the lack of dog in your life and be responsible - don't have one. That's what we have to do.
Right, I said I was going to get my car, didn't I? Okay, going now.
Eor just dropped a note - he was, after all that, only seven minutes late. :)
