Taking Your Big Dog to the Pet Store!

What a great idea it has been for some of the pet stores in our area to let us take our pets INSIDE the store. Shadow just LOVES it when he gets to go bye-bye to PETCO! He always seems to hold his head up higher, and kind of prance through the store, trying to see and sniff everything that we will let him get near. Plus, he always knows that the trip is just for him, and that he will get some toys or treats.

And the people there are always amazed at how big he is, and even more amazed at how gentle he is. He is quite a hit!

He is very well-behaved in the store, too. He sees other dogs, that would normally make him go crazy (if they were approaching our yard or something), but for some reason, in the store, he is just happy to be there. I think if he could talk, he would be saying something like "I'm a lucky dog", like they used to show in the old TV commercial.

So anyway, if you haven't tried it, give your big dog a special treat by taking him out to the pet supply store. It's great exercise for them, and they really love it!
