I am still working on selling my house. So far, the St. Joseph statue in my front yard hasn't done me any good. However, I am still hopeful the house will sell soon.
In the meantime, when we have showings of our house we vacate and take the dog with us. We don't want to leave the dog alone in the car in this heat so we have been heading to the local dog park almost every time so he can run around while we stroll along behind him.
Watching him run around sniffing, doing his business, and playing has made me come to think of the dog park as Facebook for dogs. When Spike checks out the scent of the other dogs he is checking his friend's status messages. When Spike pees or poops he is leaving a status update of his own. The trash cans for the poop bags are like the newsfeed where you can see lots of status updates all at once. There is agility equipment for him to play on and other dogs to play with so there are the time wasting games that Facebook is known for. And of course, there are lots of bugs, both Facebook and the dog park have bugs to annoy you frequently.
Maybe I've put to much thought into this, but considering all the time I personally waste on Facebook that really shouldn't surprise anyone. Ah well, at least when Spike checks his 'facebook' I get some exercise so it can't be all that bad. :)
