It seemed a good idea to work off any excess energy and take care of "business" before going, so we walked over to the park at Versailles and walked around a bit before coming back to the house.
Jackpot, the yard people were there so Lola got extra attention.
As soon as they stopped fussing over her, she turned away from them and faced my car ready to go (I think she overheard me telling them we were going shopping).
We were hardly in the door at the shop, before Lola had a welcome biscuit, and several sales people coming over to meet her. Seconds later another employee came over and asked if she was able to jump up and land on his back, then got on his hands and knees. So I said we could try. The answer is; no. You will be glad to know that isn't anything I've worked on with her.
Lola said "hi" to everyone while I bought a replacement pair of Keens, then we went over to the dog toys to pick something out for such a good girl. Lots of great Planet Dog, toys to choose from and we had sales help ("I think she really likes this one"), but we had to choose something she wouldn't rip up.
I picked out a ball that she liked but was calm about. Then the worst part, I made her, LEAVE, the ball, and pose for this picture. You can see her angst.
The best part was, she carried the ball in her mouth up to the checkout desk, but, truth be told, was a little hesitant to DROP/ LEAVE so the clerk could scan it.
After leaving the store we went back to the park to try out the new ball. It was a hit, and we now have a replacement in case ( heaven forbid) I loose the much coveted red ball.
All in all a good afternoon for Lola and I
