So last week I trained for the dog store, and today was my first day working there by myself. And I quite surprised myself when I actually sounded knowledgeable and answered people's questions about their dogs and the things we sell. I have the advantage of being an aunty to my sister's labradoodle Charlotte, and I didn't realize how much I'd learned from watching how they take care of her. I recommended leashes! I talked about dog experiences! I knew what a flossie was! I loved it. Granted, it's not the busiest store in town, so things do get slow, but at that point I either stare at the walls, read my magazines, or browse the dog accessory collection. It's great. I have been meeting some really nice dogs and people, and I think it's just so sweet how so many owners care so much about their dogs and spoil them silly (well-deserved, of course). It's wonderful how dogs have become like humans. Because they seem to be, in many ways, better than people. Or at least nicer. And happier to see me.
On a different note - I have tons of Larabars since they sponsored the film festival and donated a lot, and I have to recommend the Coconut Cream Pie bar. I just ate it and it was delicious. Buy it.

This is going to sound stupid... but do they sell dogs in the dog store? Because I would LOVE to work in a store all day long if I got to play with all the puppies! (Then again, the barking and the smell of pee might start to get to me after a while...)
Also, I love it when owners give their dogs people names, like Charlotte.
No real dogs in the dog store - for sale, at least. Just cute dog supplies and accessory stuff. As for real dogs, it's just the customers' dogs that are around. And yeah, I think that if they had dogs for sale then that would involve more cleaning than I would want to do!
Krissy! Give me advice! My dog destroys every toy we give him within 5 minutes. The only things he can't kill are Kongs and Nylabones, but they both bore him. Suggestions??
Scout says hi. And she can't wait to see you.
Krissy Ashley told me about your blog, so I checked it out.
As for dog toys, Vader destroys everything too, even red kongs. We had to get him a black one which is usually reserved for large dogs, vader is a 25 pound boston terrier/beagle. We also can't give him nylabones because he tears them apart. We have found that the thick rubber toys work best. He will leave teeth marks but they don't break apart.
