My Trip to Petco

Mom always said that she'd never take me to Petco because I'm too much of a hooligan.  Well, guess what?  She gave in and took me!

I saw a bunny up close - much closer than the ones that hop around in my yard.

 My Gotcha Day is Sunday and mom said that I could pick out anything that I wanted - well, anything within reason.
 This is my brand of kibble, mom.  Can we go for the bison and venison flavor this time, pretty please?
 He's kinda cute!
 A beef trachea!
 We're headed out to the workshop so mom can carve.  Thank you for not making me wait till Sunday, mom!


I have to think of a really good name for my new donkey stuffie. Any ideas?
 I told you I'd be a good boy at Petco, mom!  Can we please go again soon?

So until next time............

Love ya lots,
Mitch

    Wow, Mitch! A trip to PetCo for your Gotcha Day! It doesn't get much better than that!

    How about "Ridonculous" for your donkey's name? It's kind of long, but my mom laughs every time she hears it!

    Aire-hugs,

    Mitch, buddy, I have been eating the bison blend of my kibbles for a while, but last night momma actually looked at the price and I might have to go back to salmon. Ish.

    The cow innards make for wonderful chewing action and whatnot, don't you agree?

    Congrats on your big adventure. More to come, I hope.

    You are one lucky boy!! There is no Petco close to where we live so we never get to go there. Sometimes one of us gets to go to Lowes or to Grannys but that's about it.

    You were very good to be so close to that bunny! We don't know if we could have had such self control. So glad that your mom took you to Petco and that you got such nice stuff for your special day. Way to celebrate!

    Hi Mitch, that was a great adventure. I've never been to a Petsmart. Now I know what it looks like there.
    The donkey is cute. I would call it a Hoover.
    Lots of Love

    Way to go Mitch - we are so happy to see you out and about enjoying yourself and your Mom picked the bestest place to take you and you a scored treat and a new toy! Mom actually had a donkey back home and it was called peppermint because it LOVED peppermints - she would almost chew a hole through your pocket trying to get to them!

    I do wish I could get something like your beef trachea, it sounds yummy. BUT I'm on a VERY strick diet recently. Sob sob.

    Hi Mitch, oh that's really nice of your mom. And a beef chewie and a donkey stuffie too. I think that your mom has a soft spot for you :) As far as a name for your donkey, my suggestion is Francis. Ah I think that Sunshade's evil mum has a bunny that she may be willing to give you...

    Given that Mama's second-favorite silly Christmas song is Dominick the Donkey... call him Dom!

    And I - Gg - have been in PetsMart & PetCo and found it overwhelmingly over-stimulating. However, Sis has never been because indeed... she is a hooliganette.

    We go to PetSmart. Beckett is kind of afraid to go in because we also go to the groomers there.

    What about Eeyore for your donkey's name. Yeah I know, it's been done.

    Oh Mitch - me again! I;m just catching up with blog friends and just visited the Ao4 blog and saw that beautiful wooden bowl your human carved! WOW!! She is so talented!!! I don't know if your human is selling them but we would have definitely ordered one - if only we didn't live in Australia!! :-( The Customs Humans are so mean here - they confiscate anything that has plant or animal material in it, from foreign countries! So we will have to just enjoy it through the internet! :-)
