And we get dumberer yet again

We had a quick family trip to the mall for a Santa event on Sunday.  Nothing says Merry Christmas like being around 78 snot dripping children, each vying for an opportunity to start the next virus merry go round in the Coen household.  On the way in, I saw this:

Solitary confinement for your pooch!

Dogspot, the pay by the hour air conditioned isolation box for your dog.   It’s .30 per hour (what a steal!) which means you can bring your box to the mall, stuff it a cube and shop til you drop for just $18 per hour.  FINALLY!  I was telling my dog to lie about her status as a service animal for years.

While this is truly a better solution that leaving your dog in the car, there is always the obvious questions and concerns such as does the A/C actually work?  Will your dog collect Parva or worms from some other skanky dog that was there just before?  Oh and probably the most pressing question: WHY DON’T YOU JUST LEAVE YOUR DOG AT HOME??!!

“Well, here I was, with a fully trained dog that is perfectly fine at home, just thinking, how can get this dog to the mall, knowing I can’t take it inside?  Before, I just had risk killing the dog via heat stroke or letting it roam the parking lot to be hit or run away, but now I have Dogspot!  Where I can spend $36 bucks to go underwear shopping instead of doing that for free like a logical and rational person would have by leaving their dog at home.”
