Choo & Ella's Excellent Adventure

For those who don't know, Choo and Ella are our two Shih Tzu "puppies". Choo (short for Ah Choo) is on the left and Ella is on the right. They are sisters - both from the same litter.

Today I had to do some Christmas shopping. Well, I really didn't HAVE to go shopping, but I wanted to try to get some of it done. So I took them along. As a treat for them, we went to Petsmart. Petsmart lets you bring your pets into the store with you. Talk about puppy paradise! I think if they could have a Christmas list, their list would read "everything in Aisle 6 in Petsmart - if it squeaks, we want it!" And the best thing is that after you get done shopping, you get a free cookie (well, the dogs do, the owner just hands over the money!)

We spent about a half hour in the store. I think they smelled almost every toy in the store. We went over and looked at the birds. Hopefully, the canaries will recover! I am sure those birds are used to this by now (I hope!).

As we were leaving, a lady with a big boxer walked in. Choo and Ella always love meeting new friends. The boxer gave them a look and just stepped over them and walked on. Poor Choo and Ella! I do think they had fun.
