Cafe Conversations

I have to admit that I am really nosey so if I start to overhear a conversation that is interesting I'll do my best to eavesdrop. That happened today. Two women were sitting a table and I assume they were sisters because they had a strong resemblance. One had the air of a snooty nouveau-riche married into wealth kinda look and the other was very well put together but had a sort of no nonsense practicality. So the nouveau-riche (NR to make it easier on me) was chatting away
"Oh yes, when we first got my canine companion he was so hard to manage. Finally we had to enroll him in the best companion boot camp. . ." and on and on like that. I would glance up and the practical one just had this look on her face like things just somehow didn't make sense.
Finally practical cut in on NR and said "Wait a second. Are you talking about a pet dog? Christ NR (name withheld to protect the guilty) it's a freaking dog, it doesn't care if you are pc."
I don't know why but that just cracked me up! I don't know how many times I have wanted to say the same damn thing when someone was talking about their canine companion. For some reason that just sounds creepy and somewhat sexual in a gross way to me. Anyway, I had to silently cheer Miss Practical on for totally calling out Miss Nouveau Riche!
