Puppy Paradise

Wesley had a doctor's appointment today, so after the doctor we took a special trip to the pet store. The store has completely been redone since I was last there (when we bought Sadie) and it was a paradise for Wesley!

As soon as we approached the door we were greeted by a VERY large turtle walking around the store. Actually, he was trying escape. I didn't know turtles could move so fast. One of the women in the store said the turtle was trying to escape because it was so warm outside. Makes sense to me.

After the made our way through the turtle obstacle course, we came upon the puppies! As Wesley began running back and forth in front of the glass puppy cages, saying "Hi doggy!" to every dog he saw, one of the workers brought out a Japanese Chin to play with. Wesley and this little puppy were the perfect mix! It was lively and energetic and Wesley giggled with every move it made. The puppy kissed Wesley and Wesley kissed the puppy. All was well, until the puppy (in true puppy fashion) stopped chewing on my shirt and began to chew on Stinky Bear. "No puppy!" Wesley yelled! "My bear! My bear!" Guess toddler love is somewhat fickle.

BTW, Wesley may look like he's choking the puppy in the first picture, but he really was being very gentle. No puppies were harmed in the taking of these pictures.

After we put Wesley's puppy away, Mommy got out a puppy to play with. I LOVED her!!!! She's an Australian Shepherd/Corgi mix and so beautiful and so sweet and gentle. The biggest drawback was her price tag - over $1000!!!! Someone needs to tell those people that Australian Shepherd/Corgi isn't a breed or a show dog - it's a mistake! But what a cute mistake!

Too bad there are no puppies in the W. family future right now. Maybe someday.
