Loan a dog

The wife is always on at me to have a pet a dog, or cat which ever takes her fancy depending on which furry one she sees.

 

I am not a pet kind of person, although I did have a cat when I was a kid our house was more of a cat home than dogs, we just didn’t do dogs. There was a story in this morning’s paper that caught my eye about a company who rent dogs out by the hour maybe that could curb the wife’s interest for a pet I thought to myself.

 

How it works? The dog owner pays a fee (£44.99) to register their dog and the dog borrowers paid a year’s membership fee of £9.99. When both have created a profile and verify there details, you are free to use the service. The time scale of the ‘loan’ is between the members and could be for a few hours for a walk around the park or for two weeks while you go on holiday.

 

I can’t see the union of dog walkers being happy with this or doggy hotels who could lose business so I am expecting to read about strikes and protest marches soon. However, I would like to emphasize strongly I will never be partaking of such a service so the wife will have to make do with looking and smoothing friends pets.
