Running into friends and their pets at PetsMart

Yesterday our mom made a dry food run to PetsMart® and ran into her friend Dana, who was accompanied by her two dogs Josie and Elke.

Which got us to wondering why Mom never takes us shopping with her? It’s probably because she’d need to put collars or harnesses on us and walk us with leashes. “Hell no! We won’t go!” Yeah, like that would happen.

We’re two beautiful bad-ass kitties and if any d-o-g gets too close, we’ll take it down with one swipe. Hissssssssssssss. Meowwwwwwwwwwww. The store on Oakton St. would never be the same. Mom would be banned from PetsMart. Where would she shop? We’ll starve to death.

Whop! “Ouch, Sashi. Why did you whop me on the head?”

“Because you were hysterical, you Shadoe dummy.”

“Calm down, girls! What’s all the commotion?”

We’re sorry, Mom. We’ll get back to our blog. Let’s see, where were we?

Not Elke or Josie, but looks similar.

Mom was talking and cooing over Dana’s dogs. She can’t even remember what breed there were…just that they’re small with white coats. They were cute though and weighed about seven pounds. Really…we’re double that size.

Dana said she brings Josie with her often. Josie gets excited when they pull into the parking lot. That’s because PetsMart gives doggies a treat at the check-out register. Wow…would they give us catnip? Not likely.

This was the first visit for Elke, who is more nervous about strange surroundings. Mom told us she was riding in the shopping cart. Both dogs were well behaved according to our mom.

We think Dana is okay because Mom said she has cats in addition to the dogs. Anyone who likes cats is cool and shows good judgment in choosing pet companions. Dogs can be a good choice, too…especially if they’re at-risk.

To any humans reading this, please adopt a shelter pet. Most of us are sweet and loving. Even if one of us has a few problems, kindness and patience can make a difference.
