Larry the Lobster

Earning enough Skymiles for a free trip seems impossible, but I FINALLY did it!  I redeemed my miles to visit my best friend in Boston over the memorial weekend.  I love Boston!  The old historic buildings, the ocean, mass transport, seafood galore, and shopping (of course). 

There is a particular pet boutique that I frequent on every visit.  When I walked in on Saturday, the owner said "Good to see you again.  How is Chicago?"  Well, it is Detroit, but I did not want disappoint her knowledge of repeat customers.

In the boutique, I found a rare white "Chewy Vuitton"  and a "Chewnel".  My boys love little doggie purses.  No, I am not pushing my favorite things onto my children.  They like the handles so they can toss them up in the air.  And yes, they are secure enough in their manhood to like purses.  I thought these would be my only purchases until I saw the most adorable lobster cookies.  One cannot go to Boston and not bring home a lobster themed souvenir.  So, I bought 1 Larry the lobster cookie for the dogs to share.

The shopping trip was a success.  The boys loved their presents.  The Silky Terrier picked the "Chewnel" and the Yorkie choose the "Chewy Vuittion".  However, only the 4 pound Yorkie wanted the giant cookie.  It took him all day to eat Larry.

It has been raining constantly here in Michigan.  Anyone who has owned a Yorkie knows that they are never 100% potty trained and that accidents increase with inclement weather.  Well, the next morning there were 2 new spots on the white carpet.  I used the pet cleaner to remove the mess, however only wee-wee came up onto the cloth.  The red die from the lobster cookie had filtered from the treat, through my dog, and onto my carpet!

Success of the Day:  Learning to bring home a real lobster from Boston as a souvenir and not a fake
