Dog Gift Baskets
When I first heard about dog gift baskets, I was pretty
irritated. It was my friend Amy who told me about it. Amy is a
dear, and we have been good friends for many years, but in some
ways she is one of the most annoying people on this planet. She
loves anything cutesy, fluffy, frilly, or adorable. We are as
different as night and day. When I asked her for suggestions
for her birthday present, she told me to get a dog gift basket.
When I looked incredulous, she patiently explained to me that
she celebrated her dog's birthday on the same day as her own.
Getting a gift basket for dogs was the perfect way to make her
happy by helping her celebrate the special day of her adorable
little pet.
Needless to say, the concept of dog gift baskets was not
particularly appealing to me. I understood that dog lover gift
baskets were as much for the person as for the dog, but even so
it seemed like a poor way to express my friendship for Amy. I
knew that was what she wanted, but I wanted to get her
something specifically tailored for her interests, not the
interests of her dog. All dogs are basically alike. They all
love squeaky toys, dog treats, ratty towels that they can play
tug-of-war with, and sticks that they can catch, as well is
anything smelly. One generic dog gift basket will do equally
well for any dog that there is. It just seemed like a bad
present to get.
Nonetheless, I decided to go and look at some dog gift baskets,
if no other reason than to humor Amy's wishes. I knew that
getting a dog gift basket would please Amy, and after all that
seemed like the point of a birthday present. After browsing the
store for a little while, I finally found the perfect dog
present, and I was on my way. When she unwrapped the gift for
her puppy on her birthday, the pooch was overjoyed. Apparently,
she had been having people by dog gift baskets for a good
while. I have never seen such a happy puppy, and I couldn't
help but enjoy it myself. All in all, it was an enjoyable
birthday party, and it was nice to be able to make my friend
happy, even if I had to please her dog to do so.
