Small Dog shops till she drops......

We popped into Pets at Home today to buy a present for our friend's new puppy, and took Small Dog along with us as it's one of the very few shops which welcome dogs in store.

She was absolutely fascinated by the sights and smells and had to peruse every aisle, closely scrutinising the doggy apparel, squeaky toys, collars & leads, canine accouterments etc.

All was going reasonably well until some fool started testing out the squeaky toys.  

It wasn't us.  Honest.  We were three aisles away, trying to persuade Small Dog that a rawhide chew the size of a brontosaurus leg was probably a bit ambitious.  However as soon as she heard the cacophony of squeaks she forgot all about trying to pull the 4 foot chew out of the display and headed off to the dog toy section to give her consumer viewpoint.  She had to be lured away with a pig's ear.


Such was her excitement that she subsequently wee'd in the dog travel accessories aisle, which we shamefacedly soaked up with a pack of tissues before we spied the bucket and mop strategically placed for just such a (presumably frequent) fox's paw.


She was enjoying herself so much that we had to literally drag her outside.  As soon as she realised that we were leaving she planted her paws, locked her legs and refused to budge. Thankfully, she doesn't have the staying power of a rottweiler so to spare us further embarrassment we picked her up and hurried off.


Here are some of her favourite bits......

A chew bigger than Small Dog.  She loves a challenge.....

It's just as well that I like you all because you are all..........
Barking mad....
Small dog....glad you had a nice outing...you are the only sensible one!

Mags...

I hardly think that sneaking dog treats from the floor level displays then weeing on the floor qualifies Small Dog as 'sensible'.

As for being barking.... guilty as charged.
