Kappa Kappa Canine

For whatever reason, I signed up to receive "daily candy". I think it may have been the peer pressure or the idea that this did in fact involve candy. I've been sorely disappointed. However, I do sometimes enjoy browsing through their ludicrous offerings: "blah blah designer's shoes, reduced from $2,000 to $1,200!" Oh good. That will really get me in there.

Today brought an even better deal: "rent a pet in NYC!". That's right, for a small fee (monthly membership Fee of $49.95, annual account charge of $99.95 & weekend dog $39.95 or week day dog $24.95, plus applicable sales tax) , you can have a doggie friend at your side in Central Park, out in the Hamptons or just on your couch watching the game. Just like ZipCar, these fees go to dog tune ups 4 times per year and a built in GPS system in case you can't keep hold of a dog you just paid $200 to hang out with.

I understand the concept behind this business, but if I planned to purchase my friends I would have just joined a sorority. Too late now; I guess I'm stuck with the retriever blonds instead.
