I love my wanna go for a walks. Everyday I meet new people and they love me, give me pets and treats or they cross the street to avoid me.
Today I met Beth. She works at Noe Valley Pet Company on Church Street. She is smart. You want to know why?
Beth kept my short grouchy attention by keeping a cookie in my face... I didn't notice three super big dogs walk by me before it was too late for me to cause any trouble in front of her pretty store. See how smart she is?!
I also learned that I am not alone in my grouchy behavior, and that it doesn't have anything to do with my lack of maturity age.
Beth told me a story about a 12 year old Cocker Spaniel that broke a sliding glass door! All by themselves! And it wasn't even cracked, giving the glass a weak point.
I sure have lots more respect for how tough little dogs are. No wonder I like them so much.
Do you have a favorite pet shop in your neighborhood? Do you have stories of nice people you meet on your walks? Please share with me!
Today I managed to see more of my 'hood and find a new shopkeeper to wag hello to. I'm a lucky grrl since my day started off on the 'ruff side with some grouchy trouble. Tomorrow I will share that experience. I'm still a little in the "doghouse"...
My female will be heading back over to Noe Valley Pet Company and learn more about Beth, the staff and all the things you might want to know. Leave any questions you have in the comments or contact me via @grouchypuppy on Twitter.
On your next wanna go for a walk, stop by Noe Valley Pet Company at 1451 Church St (between 27th St and Cesar Chavez St) San Francisco, CA 94131 (415) 282-7385
