Yesterday, Black Friday, was totally the wrong day to try to go to a Super WalMart just to try, again emphasis try, to get Cooper some raw hide bones with knots on the ends. After all that distance, in the cold, in the rain, -nothing-. I suddenly remembered a smarter option, a place I rarely shop because the store is not in my town: PETsmart! - and yes, after months and months of frustration, we have a winner.
Plus I got to see a small horse at PETsmart, no not really a horse, but it could've should've been. It was a beautiful 2 year old Great Dane, 176 pounds of wonderfulness. So peaceful, calm, the center of everyone's attention within sight of the checkout spot. A small child walked up to it and the dog had to look DOWN at the child, a child shorter than the top side of the dog's back. I am trying to think of his name but it eludes me at the moment, maybe later ... seems like it was something from Greek mythology, something majestic.
Perhaps the dog's sad nervous eyes were caused by twenty pairs of human eyes looking at him, photog-ing, wanting-asking to touch him, the animal unsure of their happiness directed towards him, pacing, turning. The dog's owner, by the look in her eyes and her answers to the questions, seemed to have a long history of dealing with people who were 'pupperazzi'. "Yes, he rides in my car, but he does take up the whole back seat"

I am thinking his name was Hercules.
A while back during a product launch we had parts that simply would not go on the vehicle. I started thinking they lacked coating and sent hubs to the Pet Whatever to get a Pee Pee light. We put a tracer dye in all the coatings and use a black light for verification of said coating. It was closing time and hubs got the last one and was in a hurry and was only half listening to the clerk. It turns out she was trying to sell him a book and video on house training your pet. He told her, I don't need that stuff this is for an assembly plant to check to check vehicles. As he was leaving she turned to the other clerk and said, my god they are peeing in the cars now.
