Post Weekend
And that's what happens when worlds collide ...
I was thinking about our visit to the annual P-walk yesterday, and I came to some odd conclusions about it.
People usually get pets for the purpose of companionship, and yes there are other reasons like security or assistance, etc. What I find odd about things like the walk yesterday is that you have literally thousands of people with their companion pets and they all march along a preselected path
And even though there are literally thousands of humans there, very little interaction is had from owner to owner. It's like walking in your little protective bubble pod with whoever you came with, part of this massive group yet alone
And that's socializing, that's being out with the people -- I call that being in a crowd with people you don't know or care about, and makes the whole enterprise feel empty or pointless. Certainly you can walk with your dog at anytime and any place for that matter.
Honestly, I do wonder what some people get out of it ... ooh look at that dog (and that dog), only takes me so far
The funny part is that people do their LAP ... and then go home, most people don't hang around after. That's so weird to me, like okay cool, I participated now time to go back home and isolate myself
Two years straight, what's the point?
