Shopping Doodle

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

I really had some things that I needed to get done today and so off Rooney and I went.  One of the things that I love about FL is that most (not all) places are willing to let you bring a dog in.  We started out at the local nursery where I bought a Valencia orange tree.  I already have a lime and lemon in these huge pots on the lanai and I'm ready to try for oranges this year.  Then we went to the brand new Hobby Lobby that just opened near us and Rooney was happy riding in the cart, getting tons of attention from the store clerks and other shoppers.  He just sets in the cart, never making a peep.  Then down the sidewalk to Kohls, but this time as I was walking in with him, as I was putting him in a soft-sided cart, a lady who was walking out of the store turned to me and very loudly said "So you're just going to bring a dog in here?" and I said "that is the wonderful thing about Florida, they are welcome almost every place", and she says to me "not really" as she spins on her feet and walks away.  WTD?  The store must not care - there is no sign saying no pets, I walked right in the front door with him.  What a friggin grump!  So we did our shopping and then of course went through the PetSmart for one more Go Dog dinosaur - a pink one this time, Roo now has all 4!  It was a great day shopping with my doodle.

Rooney looks like the perfect shopping companion!   Bahumbug to the grumpy lady!

Some people are just miserable spirits. It's nice Rooney is so portable!

That lady (using the term loosely) must be a real grump. How could ANYONE be mean when Rooney is around? Just looking at his picture made me feel happy!!
