Rarely do I find enough time to maintain the blog, but on rare occasion, I sneak in a couple minutes for more than one blog at a time. Especially when I read ludicrous things.
So I logged into my computer this morning to read this:
It’s an article about suggestions for busy dog owners fitting in their dog walk into their schedule. One of the proposed options is to put the dog on a treadmill if you can't find the time to walk your dog.
For the dog owners out there that are trying to surpress the laughter. Don’t. Be my guest. Laugh until you pee your pants.
Chances are, the author of the article is new to the paper and got the short end of the stick with this article. So he decided that he would have some fun with the article just to raise some attention.
The more likely alternative response is that he has no flying clue about raising pets. Which makes me wonder as to why he is writing for that section of the online publication.
The point of a walk is so that the dog will do their daily business somewhere other than within the house. Add a treadmill into the equation and if you can convince/train a dog that treadmills are fun (good luck) then finding the time to clean up flying poo is going to be more of a concern to you than actually taking the dog outside.
Let me guess, if I were to call the author on the issue, he would probably say that all dogs use the litter box and will eventually graduate to be potty trained, just like the rest of us.
The point of having a dog is to remind you to take time out of your day and go get fresh air, to take some time alone with your thoughts and to unwind. Yes, as much as it is one more thing to do in a very scheduled life, it is supposed to be a de-stressing thing. If you just can’t find enough time to spread some affection to a furry friend, then it’s time to give that furry friend up rather than having it fly across the room because the hills setting is too strenuous on the poor pooch.
