Oso walking on a doggie treadmill while Marc encourages him on. Walking is our main source of exercise. And primarily, walking our dog. Tim is so meticulously regular about walking the family dog that once he was asked if he was a “dog walker.” “Well, I walk my dog,” he responded. But I think the question was meant as: did he provide his dog walking services for a fee. I saw a second career opportunity for him. He pointed out the couple was dressed for the gym, while their chunky dog looked on jealously at our Boxer.
We have a nice safe neighborhood designed for walking. And during our walks we usually discuss our superiority over our neighbors who get dogs but never walk them.
So why would a family which likes to feel superior about walking our dog hire Mobile Dog Run, a company that walks your dog? Because it’s freaking hot, that’s why!
Mobile Dog Run owned by Marc Singer comes to your house in a passenger van. Please note the van is air conditioned. They put your dog on something akin to a tread mill. For a $30 fee, your dog gets 30 minutes in the Mobile Dog Run van.
I was a little concerned about our new dog, Oso, using this service. He is a rescue and we are still working on some issues during walks. Would he take to it or maul the owner? Luckily, the former occurred because Mobile Dog Run is going to be a new treat at our house.
Tim is still hesitant about me walking Oso alone. So now when Tim is out of town, the dog doesn’t have to miss out on his walks. Also, I can pass a “dog run” off as a present. “Here honey, for your birthday I am outsourcing the dog walk."
I know what you are thinking. How bourgeoisie! Yes, yes it is. Our dog has the privilege of walking in an AC van, while other dogs have to hang out in a dirt lot. But let’s face it, Americans continue to spend on their pets - it’s recession proof.
More importantly, in Arizona, in the summer - it’s HOT! And walking a dog in the summer heat can be hazardous to their health. Should you put your dog in harm’s way with hot asphalt or deprive them of their walks? Dogs are members of the family, they deserve a little respite from the heat. The kids get Otter Pops. The dog gets frozen yogurt bones. The kids get to dip in the pool. The dog gets to walk in an air-conditioned van.
