Love love love and two shriveled hearts


Diesel and I were shopping the other day at U Village. We love to go there because the whole mall is so dog friendly. Every place I take him, all the employees swarm around him and love on him, offering him goodies and love. They love to have a break in the monotony when a dog comes wandering in. The customers love him too. I am amazed how many people come up to him, given that he is pretty big, but they can see in his eyes how gentle and sweet he is.
As we were coming out of Storables, where I bought some big boxes to help organize the basement shelves, some stupid man said to his equally stupid friend, "I think people who take their dogs shopping are going a little bit too far." And the stupid friend said, " I completely agree." Had they followed me around for 5 minutes, they would have seen what cheer Diesel brings to everyone he meets. Not to mention the fact that it is an excellent way to socialize dogs. I pity the people whose hearts are so small and shriveled up that they will never know the exquisite love of a dog. Or likely any pet, for that matter.
