Meanest mom in the World

Shopping Trip goes Awry!

I often accompany mom and dad when they go out and about running errands and such and the other day I hopped at the chance to go to the drug store with mom.

Most of the time when we run errands I stay and guard the car. I mean I wouldn't want dad's collection of fast food wrappers to get stolen, but, I am welcome in the drug store.

So me and mom went into the drug store. I said hello to my favorite cashiers and to all the techs and to the pharmacist. Mom thought she was just picking up but there were some things not ready yet so we had to hang around.

There was a little girl waiting for meds as well so we had a good time playing together. But then she had to go home. One of the workers gave me a treat! How Excellent! Then they gave me my own personal bag with treats inside. Mom and the worker were trying to get me to carry it and I probably would have if I had not suddenly heard the most horrible, terrifying, scariest noise a pup could hear.

THE VACUUM CLEANER!

Yes someone at the store was running a vacuum cleaner and not a little house sweeper like we have(I know I could take that one and kick it's butt to sweeperland). NO! This was a BIG, GIANT, INDUSTRIAL vacuum cleaner! I just got up and left my bag of treats and headed to the front of the store. Let's go mom. I think dad's fast food wrappers are in danger.

Fortunately mom was right behind me(she was on the other end of the leash) and the lady who gave me the treats was right behind her with my treat bag (and mom's prescriptions, too).

Oh and dad's fast food wrappers are all safe and sound(except for that one I ate on the way home).

Two Tastee Treats!

Today, I lived up to my name because I was extremely Lucky.

The day started out not very Lucky because this morning mom took dad to work and I did NOT get to go on the car ride. Can you even imagine the nerve of all that? But, mom said she needed to go to the doctor to take care of this crud that she has and she was also going to drop off her resume to some different places. (And she did snag an interview for next week so finger's crossed, but enough about mom).

Mom came back around lunch time and she went to get a refreshing drink. I am not sure what happened next, but I heard a crash and a bunch of less than ladylike words coming out of mom's mouth. Mom dropped the egg carton and not a single shell was left in tack. And since mom does not really like eggs guess who got eggs for lunch? Me! They were very good and I heard they are good for my coat.

Mom did not give me all the eggs, because dad likes eggs and he will be having them for breakfast tomorrow. I will,no doubt, share breakfast with him.

I said this was two tastee treats and here is the other one. With apologies to Zadie and his Meatzapalooza (which is always the best) the thing that mom shared with me was the best thing I have ever had.

It's COOKIE DOUGH! Mom,being a girl,says that sometimes the only thing that works on the crud is cookie dough. So, although, the doctor gave her all kinds of pharmacuticals and a shot in the rear(OUCH), the cookie dough seems to have done the trick and mom is back to her old self.

I hope I don't have to wait until mom has the crud again to get more cookie dough.

Mystery Solved

Well, I know why mom was soo whiney yesterday. She is getting sick. She woke up this morning with a fever and swollen glands. I thought there must have been something not right cause mom is normally pretty mellow.

I shouldn't be surprised. I've been taking care of dad all weekend, too. He has the same thing. Wonder what they got into.

Well, it's hard being a doctor but I have to get my patients to bed. If only I knew how to cook soup.
