I took a big step this weekend and ordered a pet stroller for the girls. Let me explain...
On Saturday, Shawn, P.J. and I took Stormie and Breezy to the NW Pet and Companion Fair at the Expo Center (Shimmer had a little bit of a tummy issue on Friday, so I left her home, just to be safe). We had a wonderful time walking around, showing off the girls in their Spring dresses and visiting all the booths. They may only weigh 4.5 pounds, but after a while it did get tiring carrying them for so long.
Although we had leashes with us, there was no way we were putting them on the ground. Since this event allows you to bring your pet with you, there was lots of dogs. Lots of BIG dogs walking around. One of them even tried to leap up and tried to catch Stormie as we walked by. He got my arm instead, and fortunately was more slobber than teeth, but it was unnerving, just the same.
There were several people pushing their little dogs in strollers, which caught my attention. I have been thinking about getting one to take to events such as this, which would allow the girls to still be seen, but also able to relax and lounge in the comfort of the stroller. We are going to participate in the Portland Doggie Dash in May, and I think a stroller will be perfect.
So, yes, I ordered one and it will be here later this week. I am pretty excited to get it.
Which brings me to the picture above and the title of today's blog.
Shawn and the family are worried that I am going to turn into that woman in the picture. The Crazy Chihuahua Lady with a hundred dogs. I don't know what I would do if I actually ever saw someone walking down the street with such a stroller full of Chihuahuas. Do you see the little faces even peeking out from the basket below?
Too funny.
