Is this my future? Say it isn't so.
For the past few months, there have been a lot of dogs in and out of the L'Hotel Sophie. It should come as no surprise that we here at the famous hotel love dogs a whole lot.
Now for those of you new to this blog, you might be surprised to learn that la grande dame Sophie is none too affectionate. She is not interested in snuggles and cuddles and is most certainly not interested in sleeping on pillows. With a beast like this, certain latent conditions could quite easily linger under the surface .... unknown .... undetected .... until .... Cha Cha
That's right.
I am allergic to Cha Cha.
I am allergic to Cha Cha.
Well, not Cha Cha exactly, but dogs precisely. I am allergic to dogs. I have long suspected that this might be the case, and after three weeks of excessive snuggles from my favourite cuddly and affectionate beast, I can deny it no longer.
I am allergic to dogs.
Once upon a time, I woke up one day and was allergic to cats, and while this made me sad, I had firmly established myself as a dog person so, you know, whatever.
But this?!
This is karmic retribution for something. Something horrible. What did I do?
Now fear not friends and foes. Sophie Brador is going nowhere! She will continue to live out her days, unsnuggled and uncuddled, just as she likes it, until the day she gets fed up with me and says enough is enough. I will probably turn to the bottle, lose my job, and waste my days listening to Paris Hilton's album or playing online poker. Once your discover you are allergic to dogs, what else is there to do?
Special note to sa mere: Cha Cha will continue to receive excessive snuggles and cuddles until your return because I love Cha Cha, and even though she is making my eyes itchy, I just still love Cha Cha and am still thinking about keeping her and never giving her back to you. Except that I probably will. But you never know. Maybe not. Sophie loves her, I love her. We might just keep her.
Another note to those note familiar with Cha Cha: She is only here for the month of July, and as much as we love her and want to keep her for ever, her owner will be returning from a trip to Europe this very weekend and reclaiming her beast. Don' t worry! I am not getting rid of Cha Cha. She is actually just a house guest.
