I've seen it all now. I am not sure we'll ever be allowed in Petsmart again. I'll get some sunglasses and scope it out this weekend, while it's crowded, to see if there are and "wanted posters" of Sophie posted. She was running low on her food, so we stopped by there the other day while we were running errands. We don't go to Petco, because it always smells so bad. Ew...gives me the weebie-jeebies and a gag just thinking about it. It's called LYSOL, people!! Anyway. So we go in Petsmart looking around. Of course people can't help but stop every time they see this sweet fluffy little face! It starts with "OH!!! HOW SWEET!!!" and ends with this blood-curdling, ear-piercing, high pitched "GGGRRRR!!!!! ARARARARARARA!!!!! ggggrrrrr!!!!! GGGGRRRRRR!!!! AARARRAAARRAARRAAARAA!!!!(SNAP SNAP!!!)" This sweet little dog, not as big as a fuzzy house-shoe, goes from Gizmo to Stripe at the drop of a hat. Then, if a poor soul is brave enough to pet her, she'll stand there, growling and shaking in anticipation of taking a finger-tip off......they hold their hand out to her, palm up, then she licks them & wags her tail. Who'd have thunk it?
Sometimes, even if just one person is checking out in front of me, it can take FOR-EV-ER there. I saw an empty checker, and was sprinting to get there before anyone else did. I still feel so guilty! As I was racing to the check-out, which is SO SSSSSSSSSSS-LLLLLLLLLLLLLL-OOOOOOOOOOOO-WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, and I truly feel bad for not stopping, but 2 sweet little girls asked if they could pet this teeth-gnashing, salivating, growling, fierce lion trapped in a brown cotton ball of a body, but I had my eye on the prize (checking out before menopause began and ended, because it was already hot enough in there) and just yelled "SURE!" over my shoulder, sweating and sweltering in my layers. Well then, while I was doing the 50 questions with the checker, the little girls didn't even get to pet the oh-so-ferocious one, because she was being a viscious monster that day. Speaking of heat, WHY does every store have the heat jacked up to 90 right now? If people want to walk around half naked in this, they deserve to freeze.
I always have to hold the Soph in Petsmart, because I'm afraid that one day, she's going to snap on a golden retriever that is going to just see a little appetizer and swallow her in one gulp. As little as she is, I'm sure even a Schnauzer wouldn't have a problem getting her down, fluff & all. :)
