Dear you,
Some good news about the 2021 White House. President Biden will bring his dog Major with
him and he will also bring a new CAT! Details
about the cat are TBD. Another point of happy contrast, then and soon to be
now. POTUS 45 has zero pets. I really don’t know the man, the Donald, but I am
probably not alone in feeling there is something about his aversion to animals
that mirrors his aversion to anything flesh and blood and wild . . . like
us. However, I think he is going to need
a pet friend during his Florida exile. A
cat or dog wouldn’t work; they require love and attention. What type of pet would work for our Donald? What would he look for and like in a
companion creature?
I recommend: a fish
(cold and untouchable), a tarantula (the power to kill), a roach (they won’t
die), a snake (he loves that stupid 5th grade poem), a parrot (the
ability to echo his words like a Fox News employee), or a pet rock with a photo
of Don’s face taped to the front (no explanation needed).
Okay, none of those choices would transform Trump into a
true animal lover. A baby step, warm-up
pet wouldn’t change a thing about him. I
think feeling for animals is something that’s just in a person, or not. I tend to have a bias in favor of animal
lovers, not “pet keepers” per se, but those who respect and adore them. Which brings me to the local here and now.
Last night, a random loud truck pulled up and started
unloading for a December stay in the condo two floors down. (Thank goddess they aren’t directly under
me.) Anyway, the truck owner couple and
child seemed to bring EVERYTHING they own with them. Including their dog.
The dilemma: There is
a no pet rule for all renters; only owners can have them on the property. These people either lied or didn’t read their
contract.
Should I rat them out to management? After all, they are a hot mess and it appears
that the couple and child have now been joined by an endless stream of relatives/friends,
also against management rental booking rules.
It would be beyond easy to get them tossed out with just a word to the
management office. But . . .
They have a dog. It’s an adorable Pug thing. And from what I’ve seen, they love the animal. They are animal lovers. I am not ratting them out.
They stay.
So welcome, renter Pug pet, to the Villas!
And welcome back to the White House, POTUS pets -- Major and
TBD CAT!
Love,
Joyce
