Pet Shop Boy

My male human got a job at an upscale pet store/dog boutique on the Upper East Side of Manhattan last weekend and I'm PSYCHED about it! He says the guys that run the place are great and that they have a bunch of cool toys, beds and treats that he can get at cost (since he works there now) and I can't wait to see the cool stuff I end up with!  It's sad that I won't be seeing as much of him as before but in the grand scheme of things, it's only 12 hours a week so it's not that big of a deal, especially if it makes him happy. He really loves dogs so its a great place for him to make a little extra money!

It's weird having him coming home smelling like other dogs though, I'd have to say.  According to my keen sense of smell, I believe he works with some french bulldogs, maltese, mikis, schnausers, yorkies, havadoodles, yorkiedoodles...and I'm pretty sure a cat and parrot.  Yeah, definitely a parrot as I've heard him tell stories of how the bird is by the phone all day so every now and then you hear the bird go "Hello"  "Hello?"  "Hello!"  He says its really funny to hear the bird talk, meow like the cat, and laugh like a human.  The first time he heard it, he thought it was a real person!  Silly.   I wish I could mimmick what I hear, I could put on my own little show of impressions.  Something to consider perhaps...

This Saturday I'll get a chance to swing by the pet store and check out the place.  If I do, I'll definitely do my best to point out which toys, clothes, beds and treats I want.  No harm in asking...especially at cost, right?

That's what I thought too.  

Looking forward to hitting the luau party scene this weekend for Labor Day!!  Hamburgers and hot dogs and chicken kabobs!! DELICIOUS!  Nothing makes a long car ride worth it like sharing a delicious chicken kabob with the humans!  Hope you all have a great Labor Day too!!
