I’m the kind of woman who goes to buy underwear and comes back with a new dog toy.
At our favorite shopping-center, Settlers Green, Chico and I can visit the Jockey underwear store together. He can do his tricks and earn treats and smiles from strangers.
He had a very successful interaction with both the staff and a little girl who was shopping with her father. She was very interested in him and she wanted to pet him but she was old enough to take treats from me and give them to Chico. And she understood that she couldn’t snuggle up to him and was happy to see that when she petted him from underneath his chin as I suggested instead of on top of his head, he didn’t shy away.
There was a promotion at the checkout counter, $5 for a stuffed bear and the money went to post adoption services organizations.  Since Chico is not the only member of our family that is adopted,  I bought him one.
I present to you the evidence of his pleasure with it:

And that’s our happy post for Friday.
