The Dog Cafe







Ronell, our South African friend and fellow teacher, and I (Dani) went to the dog cafe. Todd stayed back claiming to "work" but we know he doesn't really like dogs (Todd: Not true). We're going to test him later at another dog cafe!






It was sooo much fun. We first got there and some dogs were interested in sniffing our bags but lost their curiosity. Then, we got iced cappuccinos and there was a little more attention. I guess you can't live in a dog cafe and not become addicted to caffeine. But we and the dogs truly became temporary best friends when I went to the front of the cafe and talked to a handler. He pointed to a package of green dog treats which were slightly more expensive than the rest. I no sooner picked up the package when I was surrounded by an army of dogs wanting to be loved, petted and adored.

Ronell spent most of her treats on trying to get all the dogs to give her hi-5's. They received a severe and lengthy lecture if they couldn't do it properly. I spent mine trying to get the most interesting dogs to come closer. There is a breed here that has large eyes and they are very quiet. I like these ones the best :).







There is also one cat that lives there. It looks like it's eternally pissed off. Can't imagine why.....

  3. Hey Brian!

    Weather is certainly unstable! Very humid now...

    But there are some great things about this city, cheap good food, endless shopping and city scapes.

    Haven't had and dog meat (that I know of!) and cats are not eaten (and not really pets). I have heard that there are certain areas that serve dog..we avoid those!

    Miss you guys!
