Welcome to the Anubis Centre of Kärrtorp

My great dream in life used to be of opening a subsidiary of the Multi Kulti record shop here in Kärrtorp. But now, very sadly, that wonderful musical oasis is no more, the victim of downloading and on-line sales. Record shops are a thing of the past.

Bur you can't download a dog biscuit. You can't do walkies on line.Amazon don't provide a pooper scooping service. Dogs and dogcare are the new rock and rol.l. And a serious money spinner. My advice to Magnus would be: re-open Multi Kulti as Multi Hundi and he can't go wrong.

And my own canine business idea is really starting to take shape. As I was doing the washing this morning, I realised that I have to think big on this one. So I've ditched my idea for a no frills dog minding service. No, now I'm going the whole hog (or perhaps I should say the whole dog.)

If punters are prepared to fork out 6 000 for common or garden dog minding, what would they be prepared to pay for an establishment that caters for their pooches' spiritual needs as well as their material ones?

And so was born the idea of the Anubis Centre: a fully new age canine experience. Organic dog biscuits. Yoga for dogs. Canine Thai Chi. Therapy sessions that will help clients to re-discover their inner puppy.

The decor has to be right of course. I thought we could search for inspiration in the temples of Ancient Egypt and the cult of Anubis, the dog-headed god. Gold trimmings and hand painted hieroglphics. All very discreet and tasteful of course!

The possibilities are endless. I could then write a series of best-selling self-help books on the lines of: Daschounds are from Mars, Alsatians are from Venus. Yes indeedy! Where there's hounds, there's pounds.


Recently there was a guy here in DStockholm who sold out the Globe Arena. Was he a muscular rocker with a sensational show. No! A mere dog-trainer who had a few anecdotes to tell about dealing with pooches. For which he got paid a fat wad of dosh. And everywhere he went, this guru of doggery was surrounded by hordes of beautiful, adoring women whose greatest dream is to go for walkies with him!

So, yes the Anubis Centre! What a nice ring that has to it! I'm onto a winner this time!

So what do you think? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Or just plain barking mad?
