Lesson learned, do not take pet to pet store

So after my girlie relaxation mani and pedi I took the crazy dog to Lou's Pet Store to pick up the corkscrew stake. They did not have it. They did have gerbils and hamsters and birds and fish and all kinds of fun shit for Sammy to explore. Never again. And everyone seems tp take their dogs in there; the sidewalk and median was an orgy of smells for my dog. They are supposed to call me on Saturday if they get the stake.

Next we went to the police department to get our dog tag. You park  and then have to walk all the way around the building to get your tag. Well, this was another sniffing bonanza for Sammy. I honestly think his sniffer must be sprained because no one can sniff that much.

Big Daddy made it to the airport during the taxi strike and is now waiting to board his planes for home.  About 25 hours all together.

Oh, an update on my no smoking. I think recently my sense of smell returned and for those of you who never smoked, it stinks out there. I can not get over how much everything stinks, stinks, stinks. I am sure it smells worse than the last time I quit smoking, that was about 8 years ago. Does climate change make it smell worse? And in my opinion someone needs to go through every building with a fire hose and wash them down and all persons need to review their personal habits and bathe/shower daily, if not more often. And people should really take advantage of scent free products.

This dog adoption is still crazy, phone calls all over and now the foster mom is crying I think because she is so attached to Sammy now. Shit this is hard all the way around. Sue and Mike are coming tomorrow with Sammy and I will have tissues available.

So what to do, I called Lou's and put in my order. This is what I love about Grosse Pointe, call up and tell them what you want. They tell you what they got. Tomorrow I walk in and pick the whole nine yards, no problems. And when we see if Sammy likes his shit, then he can go back with me to get more shit. As long as he is on his leash. Which I think I dazed the clerk when I said I wanted a snap back leash, just picture it, and she finally said a retractable leash.

Here is my order:

Merrick chicken flavored dry food, made for water to be added.
Merrick chicken flavored wet food with an additional lid so it is not nasty in the fridge.
Brush for poodle hair.
Bed for 10 pound poodle.
Snap back leash, ha ha ha.
Some soft toys that are nice and appropriate.

Big Daddy, your household may be somewhat larger when you arrive back home.

We will see tomorrow, the triage for cleaning is now on the dining room table and no matter what life goes on.
