Ca who does not love a fur Ball i in the midst of a Busy stressful and crazy life there come moments of pure Joy and laughter. For me these moments usually come from my huge overgrown Mutt Simba. For my entire life i have had a pet and usually the pet of Choice has been a Large dog. My first dog came from Ireland. He was a Large very disobedient red setter. Next came two very curious but absolutely adorable baby raccoons Long Story that ends sadly. Next came the love of my teenage years a giant Irish beast by the name of finn Mac Cool. Finn was an Irish wolfhound who truly thought he was a Lap dog. Various hamsters cats rabbits fish and newts and even for three Days another baby Raccoon would come and go through my childrens Early years but Mike could see it was no use. Tara wanted a dog. Mike was not really into having Large furry creatures live with him but he took it All in stride As two English setters entered our lives and stayed for fourteen years. These dogs greeted our children with so much excitement every Day that their Teeth actually chattered the dogs not the childrens when they died i thought my heart would break. I thought thatus it no More pets for me. Approximately eighteen months later i found myself at the no kill shelter falling head Over heals with a Little fur Ball named Simba. As the sales person Lead him out of his Cage he seemed so nervous and without much life that i a snot sure head be my Type of dog after All. That was until i made a pouncing motion. Suddenly Simbas eyes lit up and Down he crouched he knew the pouncing game and we a vent stopped playing it for three years. So what does All this reminiscing have to do with decorating Well nothing and everything. Pets Are a big part of our lives. They become a part of our family and making sure that what we Purchase suits their lifestyle Isnit As silly As it sounds. You need fabric that will stand up to Sharp claws and you need window coverings that can handle being crashed into when the mailman comes by. You need to understand that Fluffy the cat likes to sleep in front of the window and you just cant put something in her favorite spot. You need a decorator who is As crazy about their pets As you Are about yours. So Stop by changes by design the pet Friendly store. 15% off Trica bar stools plus free upgrade to Comfort seat or memory swivel. Sale ends feb. 28, 2009 careers i was standing in the checkout line at my neighbourhood supermarket the other Day minding my own business trying to calculate the number of minutes id have to stare at my Treadmill to Burn off the package of mini doughnuts in my cart when something thrilling happened. Youll think ism making this up but ism not i was approached by a Lovely mysterious woman who gave me an unmistakable come hither look. Despite my status As an outstanding local celebrity i am rarely approached at the grocery store by strange women demanding my attention so i was pretty excited. Excuse me sir she cooed would you like to Check yourself out i pondered this for a moment then gave myself a Quick once Over to make sure i a snot sporting visible Mustard stains and that there a snot something unfortunate dangling from my nose. Everything seemed to be in order. No i finally said to the woman i checked myself out this morning and i seemed to be of. She frowned. No sir she continued i meant do you want to Check your groceries out by yourself thatus when i realized this woman i decided to Call her Maggie largely because thatus what it said on the name tag pinned to her grocery clerks uniform was trying to entice me into testing out the stores fancy new computerized self serve checkout aisle. As a person of the male gender i am used to meeting such challenges Headon so i knew How to respond. I looked her Square in the Eye and said no i am 52 years old and ism pretty sure i did not get this far by checking out my own groceries at the supermarket. But Maggie was undaunted. Dont be afraid she said invitingly. You can do it. I sensed the other shoppers in the checkout line staring at me waiting to see if i would Man up and take the plunge. The fear in the menus eyes was unmistakable. Dont do it buddy they warned. Whereas the women sent the following telepathic message you Are a sad pathetic creature. Sweating profusely i was tempted to run away and hide in the Frozen food aisle but unfortunately i no longer know where the Frozen food aisle is because the supermarket has been reorganized for my convenience. This Means along with hiding All the things i normally buy they have added an in store Starbucks even though there is another Starbucks roughly 50 metres away in the strip mall. For what its Worth it is now possible for me to walk from my House to Vancouver and never be out of sight of a Starbucks. But the most exciting change As i mentioned earlier is that we shoppers no longer have to go to All the trouble of having someone else scan and bag our groceries for us. No thanks to the Miracle of modern technology we can do it All by ourselves. Is that great or what no it Isnit i say that As the official spokesman for the worlds men who realize that thanks to modern science we Are rapidly approaching the Day when our gender will be replaced by moderately intelligent chimps. What ism trying to say is the world is getting a Little More complicated than it used to be. Take my cellphone for example. It is packed with dozens of amazing High tech features none of which i know How to use. Just the other Day it began making strange noises in my pocket. I tried to answer it but there was no one on the other end. So i handed it to a much younger colleague and had the following conversation me Why is my phone doing that my colleague because someone sent you a text message. Me Cool could you read it to me my colleague getting Back to my Story after Maggie the helpful clerk agreed to walk me through the process i volunteered to take a test flight in the new self serve checkout aisle. What this involves is scanning your purchases bagging them and then pressing a Bunch of buttons on a touch screen to indicate who you Are and How you intend to pay. As a professional newspaper columnist i was confident i could handle this. I was a fool. I do not know if you have Ever tried to locate a bar code on a Carton of chocolate milk but it would be much easier to track Down Osama bin Ladenes Cave. Me trying to scan the milk it wont bad word beep Maggie just move it to your left. Me like this Maggie Good. Now try your other left. Me squinting at the milk beep Damn you Maggie of see that thing under your thumb but the Point is i actually did it. And when i got Home with my groceries i wait to Tell my wife How Brave id been in tackling a major technological Challenge. She did not seem Overly impressed but she thought i would probably be a hero to other men and they might even want to Tell me their own stories about coming to grips with technological change. I think thatus a great idea. You should probably just text me. Doug. Speirs free press. My.
