Where's my medication???

Erin has insisted that I get a blog so that it is more convienent for her to look at the pictures that I send her online....so here I am. I'm not sure who is going to read this or what I will write, but I will say that today.....



I took Lola to Whole Foods b/c I had to meet a friend for lunch, go grocery shopping and do some errands on the way home. I had Lola with me and it was far to cold to leave her in the car. She's not accustomed to the harsh elements, so I took her in, in my mammoth purse. Everything went smoothly, until I got to the checkout counter and the lady took me aside discreetly and said, "I'm sorry, but we will not be able to allow your dog in here in the future." So I did what anyone would do and said sheepishly, "Well, she's an emotional support dog."



I have to admit, it was a little embarrassing to say that she was an emotional support dog....especially since it's not true....yet. I'm still looking for a shrink to give me that prescription.



Anyway, she looked very sorry that she had brought up such a sore subject and pretended to be very familiar with whatever anxiety disease that I must have and said, "Of course, we have another woman who brings her labradoodle in, I understand. Have a very nice day!" (Big comforting smile on her face.)



All that to say, I'm not sure who's sensibilities are more fragile, Lola's or mine....but we both need legit prescriptions. Does anyone know a good shrink?

Funny - I think when you post a comment on a blog, it goes to everyone else who posted, too. Which is why I got an email from you that said, "happy now"? I was very confused. Until I saw that it was to Erin. :) I'm glad Erin made you get a blog. It was worth it for no other reason than to read about you claiming that your dog was an emotional support dog. I love it.
