DEAR News Of The Area,
THE continual and ever increasing trend of taking dogs to the major hardware store, never fails to amaze and amuse me.
It began with the family fluffy, which loved being plopped into the trolley.
Now we have two or three beasts, panting and wagging their busy tails.
I find it increasingly harder to hold my tongue and ask, “What kind of screwdriver is your ‘magnapoodle – doodle’ shopping for today?”
Oh, it’s not shopping, it just enjoys a day out with you!
Wonderful!
From an animal point of view, I feel an outing with the boss might be a bit more conducive to a run in the park or a frolic on the sand.
Not so it seems, our furry friends appear to have developed a hammer and chainsaw fetish.
I admire that you have a loving relationship with your canine children but really, it is all a bit odd.
Regards,
Liz PHILPOTT,
Boambee East.
