Which I am pretty sure the doggy party was all Lauren's idea.  I don't think a 36 year-old man came up with this idea himself.  .  I get the feeling Lauren wears the pants in that relationship and Arie says, "Yes dear.  Whatever you want dear."  . Just a hunch.    Jmo

ETA: He went shoe shopping with her at 9 PM last night.  Now, that's love!  I can't even get my DH to go shopping with me.   .

Yeah, but Arie said it, not Lauren. Correct?

Yes, Arie said it and now he and his fiancé are shilling a lot. They are a pair and couple, they want to get married right away. They represent each other, so her actions reflect on him. IMO. Who knows maybe he will admit he was wrong to make fun of shilling. If not, I will continue to call them both hypocrites.  

And his quote after his second place finish was that he wouldn’t have to shill in general wasn’t it? I remember Derek responding about his racing suit being a walking billboard.

BTW, I think a neighborhood puppy party at a dog park was a great idea for Lauren to meet her new community, even have it sponsored and have prizes or donations to a charity. Instead even this dog party comes off as an over the top fake experience. Are those dog owners going to hang out and meet up with their dogs there every weekend? Probably not, IMO.

I keep waiting to see what I consider “normal” couple, but it never happens. I just can’t relate to fancy dog parties at fancy resorts or dropping commitment because I “need something tropical”. Instead of seeing something I want to route for I keep seeing selfish and get annoyed by them. I have no desire for them to break up, ever. There selfish and self-centered views of the world seem to match perfectly. I find them unlike able, but pretty much perfect for one another. IMO.

WTH needs to go shoe shopping at 9PM? Seriously? Was it a shoe emergency? She broke her last pair? Ridiculous.

Single/engaged people in their 20s with no kids.

Except that Arie is a 36 year old man. Oh she is going to whip him good.
