Emma the Shopper

My doggie loves to shop!  Going to the pet store is one of her very favorite things and yesterday while we were out running errands I obliged her with a visit to the local PetSmart.

She is very funny.  First, she is convinced that everyone who works at or visits the pet store has come there for the sole purpose of seeing her.  More specifically - petting her.  And - yes - I meant it - really, she is a shopper.  She goes all the way down one aisle checking out all the options.  Then all the way up the other side.  If there are multiple aisles she wants to check them out.  For this visit there were Christmas toys down the middle of the main aisle so she checked out all of those as well.  Her choice was interesting - a hedgehog toy with a Christmas hat.  Do you think she knows about Nigel and that was a part of her decision?

The other must is a visit to the guinea pigs.  I am not sure why she loves them but she does.  The pet store has them in floor level cages and Emma always likes to visit.  She lays on the floor with her nose pressed against the glass, her tail wagging.  No clue...we have never had a guinea pig before....

Then to the check out to purchase our hedgehog toy - which of course - she must carry.  Then she sits patiently waiting for the cashier to give her a treat.  Then out the door we go.
