Puppies!!!

Everyone loves puppies. (If you don't then you're either allergic or simply wrong.)



Unless you're a child,  or as comparatively mature as one, you understand that adorable and affectionate as one may be they are still living things with wants and needs.  A crucial couple that might be an issue with city dwellers here is exercise space and companionship. Dogs are social animals and keeping them shut up in your apartment all day can't be good for them. On that note handbags can't be healthy either.

[On an aside: While I understand certain breeds may need a coat for the harsh winter, I don't think hot pink blusher really suits a pomeranian. Also, Lady I don't care how far you're going there's no need to push your springer spaniel around in a baby buggy.]

One way city-dwellers address this or merely fulfil their need to play with some dogs is to visit a dog cafe.

I went with some others to visit cafe pawz in Gangnam.

This was a pretty good establishment. It is attahed to a training school and a veterinarian service. They also sell actual puppies, snacks, toys and embarrassing costumes to force your handbag dog into. (I'm sure that Golden retriever was wearing an expression of utmost relief.)

You certainly do not visit places for this for the food. (It's pretty unimpressive anyway.) You're either there to socialize your own dog or to play with others. I would point out that not buying anything is unlikely to make you popular with the staff. There is no entrance fee so even if you don't want something, you should still buy something for the sake of civility. I mean, these people are constantly on poop patrol. (Thank the gods) Respect is due!

The cafe keeps their own dogs too. The bigger breeds mostly belong to the cafe but a couple come from outside.








You can buy treatsand feed the dogs. It's not too surprising to see the smaller breeds on the table. No very hygienic but you don't come here to eat yourself.





Well, I enjoyed it.  It was certainly something I'd never seen before.

Okay, Okay. A cat cafe too.
