Puppies!

So I go to see a shrink every month or so and her office is way up on the Upper East Side (i.e., far from Brooklyn.) Whenever it's appointment day, I dread going because it's a haul to get up there, but then I stop and think.... puppies.

Puppies!

You see, my doctor's office is located right by a pet store, and sometimes the thought of visiting the puppies is the only reason I go.

Puppies!

Part of me thinks she picked this office locale on purpose because what better way to get crazy people to come get their meds than with the promise of puppies, right?

Puppies!

I wonder if the pet store is aware of it? Like, whenever they see someone enter clutching a prescription, they think, "Red alert, red alert! We've got another one! Lock the cages!"

I mean, look at this face:

It just breaks my heart. I want to take all of them home every time I visit.

That puppy is too cute! When ever I am feeling sad, I head to a puppy store to get a puppy fix! Just playing with them, holding them and even smelling them (I know, I have issues) instantly makes me smile I now have a cat, and love him, but there is nothing better than a puppy!

Pet stores depress me because I can't stand to see them in cages...

Hi Karen - I have been looking for a therapist but only want to go to one that someone else has recommended....would you mind giving me the name of yours?

I would have the exact opposite reaction because pet stores make me sooo sad. I just think of the puppies parents in puppy mills and it makes me sick. Did you see Oprah's special on the puppy mill/pet store connection. Several other programs have covered it too... :(

Ohh! I used to live in this building! I knew it was perfect for me because there was a starbucks, tasti delite, and puppy store right down stairs...and a nail salon IN the building. Great location!
