Dog breeders post videos of adorable little puppies, frolicking around doing "puppy stuff" as if an amateur video will incapsulate a valid representation of the essence and personality of the puppy. Some people have the ability to visit the breeder in person and conduct a 20-minute "personal interview" with the prospective new (long term) roommate. Some order these furry creatures sight unseen not knowing if they are getting a cuddly ball of joy, a family treasure, or a narscistic little bastard that’s all about his own gratification that could care less about the emotional needs or time constraints of its new owners.
I guess people who love puppies, are lot like people who love audio gear. Any morsel of an interaction that comes from the experience (via YouTube), regardless of how limited or compromised is better than no experience. "..... I sure would like a hit."
Atleast picking the wrong DAC won’t poop on your floor, be a time vampire, or chew thru your internet cable.
And, oh yeah, the grandkids love the puppy. And the internet is back up and running.
Okay, we went for a cruise in one of my old cars yesterday with the top down and his little puppy face hanging out over the door with fur blowing in the wind. We’re good buddies now. Nevermind.
