A Dog’s day out
Christmas was a fun day for me and my family. The day before Christmas was really busy for me. I had many things to do that day. But I focused on one thing, gift shopping. And not just
for anyone, but for the most commonly forgotten ones, the dogs.
In many households, dogs are just that, dogs. But in some households, like mine, they aren’t just dogs; they are part of the family. So I like taking my two dogs out “shopping”. Now I know you are thinking right now that I’m weird and strange, for loving my dogs. I like to pay them back for all the fun times we have together. But I love my dogs for many reasons, especially my poodle, which has saved my life many times before. So I think I need to pay my dogs back for all that cool adventures we have had.
The morning before Christmas day, I got my dogs ready for a day out. I groomed them, put their sweaters on, got their leashes and off we went. We hit the two big main stores, Petco and Petsmart. We stopped at Petsmart first. There we stocked up on treats and toys. Then we headed off to Petco. At Petco we stocked up on grooming supplies, cleaning supplies, and more treats. I spent a little over $230 dollars that day. And my dogs loved all the extra attention they got from people at each store. With the “how cute they are” “so sweet and well trained they are” complements from all the people at each store. So that made my dogs day, oh and with all the little kids getting to pet them. At the end we went back home, my dogs ate and went to bed, tired and sleepy.
Although, Many people just see dogs as dogs, I don’t. I see them as really good friends. And ad you can tell I love my dogs, and they return the favor by being there for me. And I will always remember the day they got to go shopping. With their curious minds, noses to the ground, tails wagging, cuddly bodies, and their cuteness all over the place. Sending smiles on peoples faces, turning that bad day into a warm and happy day for someone. What a fun day that was for all of us, and I’m sure my dogs will remember this day as well.
