Shopping Day

FINALLY the post with pictures of my shopping day :)
Rudy's Raiser didn't "have time" yesterday, to let me do the post - but she's finally letting me today.
I had a whole lot of fun shopping last week, since Rudy's Raiser was finally feeling better (she was sick ALL WEEK) she decided it was time to get me out and work me some. Which I was quite glad about.
She worked me in many different stores - but only took pictures in the first one (so she could then have more time for working me in the other stores).
She says I behave very well in town, I'm quite calm and don't pull near as much with the coat/harness on. BUT I still don't listen well, when she tells me commands (sit/down/stand/etc) - so she has to give me many reminders... but she says we're working on that :)
I did have a whole lot of fun though, I really enjoyed getting out & about. Rudy's Raiser talked to many people; who were asking about me.
It was a very enjoyable day, and Rudy's Raiser hopes to take me out again... furry soon!
I was also going to include some updates about Rudy (he's doing VERY well) - but Rudy's Raiser is going to save that for tomorrow's post (complete with NEW pictures of Rudy... thanks to the raiser that has him).
So make sure to stop by tomorrow to hear an update about Rudy.
AND for all that haven't yet, please make sure to enter Rudy's Valentine's Giveaway - that will be ending THIS weekend.
Enjoy the shopping pictures below, next time we go out in town - I'll make sure she takes pictures in more than one store :)

    Excellent shopping skills. I have no doubt that earned you lots of praise and stuff. I hope maybe even a cookie. You look terrific in your uniform.

    Gee Rudy, I found your comment on another blog I follow...You'll be leavin' for specialized training soon. I'm so sorry I missed so much of your growin' up!

    You do great shopping!

    As for the pullin', it's a hard thing to learn not to do. My Human and I still have to practice that one.

    Y'all come by now,

    Hi Rudy and Al:

    Thanks furry much for your kind words about my blog. I think we are going to get to post a little oftener now.

    Good job shopping! I just love shopping but the only store I get to go to is the Pet and Garden Store. I really want to go to the Bakery for doughnut holes!

    Kisses,

    Stella

    You look great out there! Hard to listen when there are so many other things to pay attention to. Looks like someone needs some practice. :)

    Thank you for your comment on Monday Memories. It really meant a lot to me.

    You look good, Al! My humans have never taken me to any petmalls, I think they should start learn how to teach me some good shopping skills now.

    Oh Al - you look very handsome in your 'uniform' - I'll bet you had all the ladies swooning over you in the shops!

    How cool that you get to go to so many places and learn to work in so many different environments!
