Fan First
By Paul | March 13, 2013
Here’s another fan first, this time from Pooch affection-ado Rob T. Here’s my fellow Torontonian’s first Pooch:
Rob writes:
“It was the first winter season with the first puppy I ever owned. I was so caring and worrisome about how my puppy ‘Chelsea’ would take the change in the weather from hot summers to cold winters. It does get snowy in the Great White North in Canada. So I was contemplating on how I could keep her warm on those daily walks. I didn’t want her to be spoiled, but did see the good in keeping her protected from the harsh elements, cold wind chills, sand and salt that would get on her paws. I decided upon booties for her paws, and a jacket for her body. It was late November when we finally received some snow. Joyfully, I put the winter gear on ‘Chelsea’, but she did not take to wearing them at all. Especially the bootie’s, which made her walk funny. She tried to kick them off with each step. What have I done? I asked myself.
After a weekend walk, with my puppy all dressed up, I was relaxing by skimming the funnies. Right there, staring at me, like some kind of sign from a higher power, was Pooch Café; and that’s when I got my dose of how she must have felt. I burst into tears of laughter after seeing Snookie all dolled up in a sweater for walk, only to be ridiculed when the gang sees her. But wait, along comes Poncho to take prize, for he’s dressed up even more. Thanks Paul for sending me, and all other dog owners out there the truth that all dogs want to say to us. Message received loud and clear.”
No problemo, Rob! And here’s the pooch that benefitted from Rob’s knowledge:

Wow, Chelsea’s face tells the whole process she is thinking through. Great story, Rob.

Wow…that look says, “Put down the camera and come closer. I’m going to bite you now…”

Your dog looked JUST like MY dog. I’ll bet you thought your dog was the cutest, sweetest, most precious pup in the world just like I do (I say this to my dog more often than I care to admit). His name is Mickey. Mickey Mouse Gullikson-Poteraj to be totally accurate. Am I a nut, or what?
