My Awesome Shopping Day

April 9, 2021 By: Summer Samba19 Comments

Summer has an especially awesome shopping day - and she even gets to ride shotgun home.

I had such an awesome shopping day! We stopped at the local pet shop we haven’t visited in a while.

It’s a tiny place, and for a while they were only allowing in one shopper at a time. But now that things are opening back up, they had a few people coming in to buy things. I had fun looking around, like I always do.

I got to check out the cat toys, of course.

And of course, I sniffed out both new things and old familiar things, like this ladder. There were lots of good smells.

I even looked at the dog toys. I also met a shopper who said I was amazing! (I knew that already, but I still liked hearing it from her.) In fact, she told me that twice.

Then I got petted by a different shopper while my human was checking out. I really enjoyed that. It’s so fun feeling like a superstar again.

Even better, I got to ride shotgun all the way home! This is the pet shop that’s really close to our house, so my human lets me ride home in the passenger seat instead of being put back in the carrier. Except for crossing one major street, it’s all residential.

I was very good all the way home (which was a little over half a mile). I either relaxed on the seat, or I looked out the window. I was very happy! And unlike being in the carrier, I did not meow once.

    The store is a little over half a mile away? My peeps could walk that distance and I bet you’d love the walk except maybe crossing that big street. I hope you got something nippy along with the pets and ego stoking. You *are* pawsome.

    How lovely that you can get out and have adventures! Out of 9 of us there are maybe 2 that would enjoy a trip to the pet store. You’re giving our mom ideas about buying a harness. Hmm…

    You are definitely getting out more and more. It’s
    obvious you are enjoying the outings. Good for you.
    It has been a long, boring year for all of us.

    That does sound like fun. Tama likes to ride shotgun as well. Benny has never tried it yet!

    Awww, Summer, it’s so nice that you got to get out and enjoy some shopping excitement. I’m sure everyone you came in contact with was thrilled to give you special attention, too. Dad says he might try something like that with me in hopes I sleep a little better during the night since I’ve been waking him and mom so much lately. Have yourself an awesome weekend, dear girl.
