Hanging At Work

I do not know why but some days I just really want to be with Michael and I hate it when he has to go to work and leave me behind. However, last night I went with him to work. He works in a pet shop like I told you before so I can go in with Hope and walk around. It is great for Hope because she is still trying to get use to some new people. Sometimes she can be shy and other times she is their best friend right away. Just to let you know she did do great yesterday at saying hello to others. But walking around and around in a store that you already have memorized where everything is and nothing is really new gets boring fast. For the rest of the time that we were there we just hang out in the car. I was so prepared this time because I took a book to read and a toy for Hope to play with and a blanket so I wouldn't get cold and also some water. I did have a few more things with me but I don't want to get you laughing to hard at how prepared I was this time. I will say this, I did take my camera for fun and I'm glad that I did. I finally got a picture of Hope that I have been wanting for a really long time.HOPE IN A SHOPPING CART!!! I know that it really doesn't see like such a exciting thing but it is to me because she really does enjoy ridding in one. If you remember the post I did about Hope trying a new thing, it was number two on the list, I said that I didn't get a picture of it but I have one now so it is a big deal to me. (I used a link on the words "new thing," if you want to go back and read it.)I have to admit that I did have a very hard time getting her to actually look at me because when she is in a shopping cart she can see things that are higher up so she looks all over the place or she is smelling the cart to see who used it before us. Even with us taking the pictures outside I could not get her to look at me. I guess ridding in a shopping cart is like a park ride for dogs. After we were finished playing around that is when we waited in the car.I put Hope in the front, no she is not driving the car and if she was she is not doing it correctly or safely. I wanted to have the backseat so that I could get the best light for reading my book since I knew that it was going to be getting dark fast. Hope also does like sitting in the front too because she really does not get to do it that often at all.Once Hope was tired of looking out of the windows she started to play with a toy that we had in the car for her. She really loves this toy and will snuggle up with it when she goes to sleep too. Anytime that it feel off of the seat she would actually wake up and go and get it and then snuggle up with it again. It was so cute to watch her do that, like she was a mommy and it was her baby. So we had fun girl time in the parking lot which really is not that big of a deal with us going because Michael was not working that long last night. We really don't do it that often but sometimes it is just nice to be close together.

I still think it is funny that you didn't think to turn on the heat in the car so you wouldn't freeze! That is cool that you guys got to get out of the house and go do something fun!

I'm still laughing about the heat myself too. It is somewhat fun but I do it mostly to do something different and be close to my sweet hubby.

That's fun, having your dog in a shopping cart!

I admit that I love doing it to her too. I think that it giver her something new to figure out and enjoy.
