Pretentious Pooch Blog

I ran across this today and just had to share it with everybody - I thank Chai all the time, we even joke that wouldn't it be funny if someone thanked us or cheered when we went to the bathroom. I haven't really given this much thought, it just comes naturally and she responds so well...

This blog post by Sherri just breaks it down very well - ENJOY!!

Just dogs with Sherri: Have you thanked your dog today?

Inky the Squid Cat Toy

I created these on-and-off a while ago and customers keep coming back asking for them; so, I decided to add them as a permanent inventory item at Pretentious Pooch Baltimore.

See them in our web store:

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog" or "that's a lot of money for just a dog". They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog".

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog".

Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog", but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog", and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me the comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog", then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend", :just a sunrise", or "just a promise".

"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.

"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person. Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks, and look longingly to the future.

So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog", but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog", but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a man(woman)".

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog", just smile, because they "just don't understand".
