The Daily Triangle

- The Good:  There is grass here.  This strange but exhilarating substance gets an official tail wag.

- The Bad:  People in North Carolina have the type of dogs you might imagine riding in the back of a pickup truck.  Which, you might imagine, do not include miniature poodles.

- The Ugly:  The overly friendly 75 pound dogs that want me to play/eat me.  I believe they could crush me with one giant paw. Canine buddies officially not happening.  Must befriend the retirees with sensible lapdogs. 

Summary:  Noodle will be living in fear of her slightly larger furry neighbors for the next 4 years.   But there’s grass!  Silver lining?

Going to check out:  Dog run at Anderson Park in Carrboro.  Every dog owner we meet mentions it.  There’s also another run that’s less spacious but has a section just for small dogs.

Interesting phenomenon:  No less than six pet sitting and walking services were advertised in our new residents packet.   Perhaps Harold could join them and relive his Biscuits & Bath glory days of posh pet care?  Supervising Sandra Bullock’s labs has to be a positive on the resume.   Maybe Honey Combs (Sean Combs, aka P. Diddy’s dog) can serve as a reference.

Conclusion:  Dear God, I’ve become one of those people that writes posts from the perspective of their puppy.  Let’s hope that grad school work soon prevents me from writing too many of these!
