Rent-A-Dog

After reading C-Bear's offer to share Koda with me, it occurred to me that rent-a-pet services may actually be available.  And this is what I found: http://www.flexpetz.com/


"FLEXPETZ is a shared dog ownership concept that provides our members with access to a variety of FLEXPETZ dogs. All FLEXPETZdogs complete obedience training and some FLEXPETZ dogs are also certified as therapy dogs. 

Through the FLEXPETZ shared dog ownership concept, members can spend from just a few hours to a number of days with each of our dogs. FLEXPETZ dogs are available in varied breed sizes to ensure compatibility with our member's individual lifestyles and unique circumstances."


Who knew?
Ridiculous.  Laughable.  Very Indicative of our harried, time-starved culture.  Don't you get a dog (or a chameleon) for companionship?  Man's best friend?  Imagine a service called Rent-A-Friend...
