You love dogs – but you live in a small apartment or are never home more then a hour or two…. What do you do? Live a live alone or get a dog who will degrade into a life of boredom and little love?
If neither choice sounds good, try renting a dog.
Flexpetz is a shared dog company that allows you to rent a dog for a few hours or days. This way you can enjoy the companionship of a four-legged creature why you run through the parks or mountains with out having to worry about what your friend is doing all day while you're in the office.
Granted you have to live in New York City, Los Angeles or London…
The BBC recently ran an article about Flexpetz as it opened it's first rent-a-pet location in London. The comments to this story was interesting… running from horror to straight-hate mail. It seems that no one liked the idea of renting a dog – apart from the folks quoted in the article.
I don't really have a view right now, beyond thinking that it would have to be a certain type of dog to handle all those 'owners'. I don't know…. I have mixed feelings. What say you?
