Yesterday's
episode was that Willow's groomer could not drop everything and groom Willow
for Thanksgiving. She was booked up!
I took
Willow to Pet Smart go be groomed.
On the drive
over I told Willow of our Pet Smart adventure seven years ago:
We had just
adopted her from the Atlanta Humane Society at about 10th and Howell Mill
Streets in Atlanta. We drove back to
Marietta and we could tell she wasn't that sure of us. Who are they?
What did they want of me? Do they want to eat me?
To get on
her good side we stopped at Wendy's and bought her some chicken nuggets. She seemed to love them.
Our next
stop was Pet Smart. The same Pet Smart
we went to today. We wanted to buy her
some treats and toys for her as a welcome gift to her new home. We was not that large at the time and put her
in the carriage part of a shopping cart.
We pushed her around the store and bought her this and that.
When we got
close to the front door she saw daylight and sprung out of the cart and ran to
the doors. I thought she would run into
the doors and then run some other direction.
As she ran to the door they sensed her movement and opened. She ran out.
We chased
her. She ran. All the employees ran out and tried to catch
her. More people in the parking lot
joined in trying to catch her.
We were
afraid some moving cars in the parking lot might do her harm, or she could run
out on Barrett Parkway with lots of fast moving traffic.
HOWEVER!! In the parking lot was a Pet Smart young lady
on her lunch break. She was eating Chic
Fil a nuggets. She got out of her car
and held her arm out with a nugget on the end, in her hand. Willow* galloped into her arms.
*Willow's
name was Wiggles then.
A couple
hours later before I picked up Willow at Pet Smart's Grooming Department I
window-shopped in the dog bed department.
A lady with four or five daughters, all under age nine or ten, was
having the daughters try out different dog beds. They looked like they may be low income
family...... why not?
