I've learned that I am not a dog person. Really, I'm not an animal person. It's not that i don't like animals. It's that I'm selfish, and lazy, and (apparently) extremely self-aware of my faults. Yea, your fur all over the house is endearing and I love how you slob all over the place after you drink water, and it just tickles me pink when you chew up my size 15 $300 shoes. I can deal with all that. What I don't like about animals is that they depend on me for everything: food, water, shelter. I'm a firm believer in contributing to the household, and if you don't cook, clean, and make money, I don't want you living with me. My girlfriend, however, has a slightly different outlook on life. Here's an excerpt from the conversation I had with her regarding the adoption process:Her: Do you like dogs?Me: I like dogs. Maybe even love dogs. But dogs are like kids: they are more fun when you can return them to their owners.Her: Well, I'm thinking about adopting one. Me: ...that's great?Her: Ok, i found the one I want.Me: -_-Her: I put your name and your number on her collar, too.Me: @#%!$% Her: What did you say? Me: I said "yea!"Since she doesn't live with me, and I'm not foolish enough to believe that the phrase "I'm putting my foot down" actually means anything, I just rolled with it. What she failed to tell me, however, is that her mom feels the same way I do. Which means when we left for the holidays, we had to find a place to kennel the dog. I don't know how she settled on Grace Animal Hospital, but I'm glad she did. Once you step inside the hospital, you'll notice how extremely clean the place is. There is no stench and you don't have to worry about stepping in puddles of unknown substances. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. And my girlfriend's dog seems to genuinely enjoy the experience whenever she goes. As an added bonus, the staff will bath and groom your dog during the duration of the boarding if you so desire. If I had to have a dog, I'm glad it's Curie. And I'm glad that she has Grace Animal Hospital . Read Less
