THE DIARY OF LITTLE WAGGATAIL

25 January 2013

 

Was I to get ready with my dog treats, different collar, leash, harness, whistle, doggy bags and stupid arm reflector band? Or would my lovely GDI, not be able to make it with the snow?

That was the question on my lips this morning, and I am sure on Waggatails lips too, as she was truly fed up with staying in for a week.

My GDI came, and off we went in her car, to do shopping. I went to a great centre with all of the designer outlets there, the shops were very posh and I really laughed, as Waggatail, was very selective, about the shops she showed me. She could pass a few shops, then suddenly, decide, that she wanted to show me a certain shop.

The first  one she showed me, was a shoe shop. Perfect. Just what I needed, then there was a sports shop, just what I needed for Hubs new trainers. Then there was a snowboard shop. Just what I didn’t need, but I told her she was good, and not today. She took me into a bedding, shop and passed all of the kitchen shops, “Does LWT not know of my culinary skills yet?

My tools of the work place, may have needed renewing?

Hahahahaha. No, she knows me too well, she took me into the chocolate shop.

But what made her pass shops then go into, others?

She was perfect, but it let me be reassured, that there is no  way I could have done or do that on my own, as soon as you enter the centre, there are shops all around and nothing to identify what shop is what. It is like playing a game of Bagatelle blind folded.

 If you get your marble, or in my case, your dog, in the whole, or door, ha. And that is the right whole, door, for the right shop, you win.

My GDI is a great shopper but we were on a time limit so in and out, but in twenty minutes, I bought shoes and trainers. I just wish I could have the sight to shop all the lovely shops that were available?

How much it teased me to pass wonderful shops and have to keep walking, how lucky you are if you can go in and browse? Oh, please God, one day let this be me?

Waggatail was so good though. We came home and in  until whenever. GDI coming back next Tuesday. Off to the vet.

On Monday, Hub has the day off so we are going out to our restaurant if weather permits, but more snow is forecast. It will all be up  to Little Waggatail on Monday as Long chops is away for the day. Poor baby, is getting picked up to go to a skin specialist. The nurse will have her  all day and boy, will I miss her and worry about her?

She has these spots on her ears that cannot be explained. But she hates being away from us and is a real baby.

So Waggatail and I will guide Hub who will follow with his white cane to the Chinese restaurant. God help us? Hahahahaha.  That  will be the first time I will have gone out with her without sighted assistance, though if the snow is kind, I would love to go somewhere with Hub tomorrow? Where is the question? There are so many limits and on Sunday we are going to our church and Waggatail has not done that  route so we will follow Long chops and Hub.

I just am sick of the snow now. It is beyond the pretty Christmas card picture and is a nuisance now.

She is now sleeping just a little twenty minutes but enough to make her feel like she has done something. With love until another day in the diary of little Waggatail.
