Pistachio has shown me a whole new world of dating possibilities in this new millennium. Whaddaya know? Young people nowadays date and socialise over pets. Every other weekend, Pistachio goes off to a dog cafe with The Daughter and Her Boyfriend. At the dog cafe, they eat and chat, and make new friends with other young couples with dogs.
I begin to realise that there are many young couples with dogs.
Ever since Pistachio came into the family, The Daughter and Her Boyfriend have begun to have conversations about when and how to discipline pets and children. They get together with other couples and chat about how to discipline pets and children. They lament about the costs of a dog, and explore insurance for dogs.
I also begin to realise that this is a very smart way of dating. It allows me to know how good a father and husband, Her Boyfriend is likely to be. So, even before a real kid comes along, you know what the potential spouse thinks about:
- tuition
- education
- discipline
- financial management
Thanks to an entire social community of young lovers with pets, Pistachio has a ton of good friends: Cotton, Bubbles, Cookie, Rocky, Hamilton, Shiro and Juno. Every other weekend, Pistachio goes on outings with one family or the other and plays to his heart's content. Me, I am happy because Pistachio is too full of energy, and a veritable attention whore. I am glad to share him with anyone who wants him. He is too much for me to cope with.
