Me and Ira went over to Tiendesitas so that both of my dogs (Daffy and Trixie) could get some fresh air. I was against the idea at first because there were only two of us and tagging two dogs along could be a handful. I was trying to sell the idea to bring only Trixie along coz she’s the one who’s less capable of giving us problems.
Then I realized that I couldn’t even remember the last time that Daffy went out of the house. My sympathy took over and before I knew it, we were already at the car with those two mutts at the back.
And as both of us predicted, it was very tiresome. Trixie started off by crapping along the sidewalk. I had to go to a store and shamelessly ask for a plastic bag without buying anything so that we could pick up the manure and throw it away. Both of them were so excited that I can’t even count how many times their leashes got tangled.
Lunchtime was a surprise as both of them were behaved. Although the fact that I had their leashes tied to my seat also helped. We tried to feed them but they only ate when we spoon-fed them. Guess they’re just not comfortable eating at that kind of environment.
After lunch was shopping time, doggy-shopping time to be exact. I bought a harness for Daffy and a pack of Cesar dog food for both of them. We also bought dog tags for both Daffy and Trixie in case they get lost in our neighborhood. Those dog tags cost P500 each! Ira agreed to pay for one of them since she was the one who suggested the idea so I sorta got a 50% discount.
After buying all those stuff, it was time to go home. Yeah I still had work and I was already running late.
Overall it was fun. It was a good feeling that we were able to spend time with my dogs. It was tiresome but I really felt good afterwards.
That feeling changed though. As soon as I arrived at the office, well, you know the rest.
Later.
