Now friends, I think I have mentioned before that poor Dad is not at his best on shopping trips.
In fact, he hates crowded shopping areas and much prefers to buy from the internet.
On the other hand, Mum and I quite like the shops. For different reasons, of course.
Mum likes giving people in the shops that weird-smelling papery stuff humans call money.
You know - that stuff that humans don't seem to use for anything much except giving to each other.
I like shops because they seem to be full of people who like pooches! Also, sometimes the shops
smell very interesting...
... especially BUTCHERS' SHOPS!

Dad: we were in the Lake District last weekend, I must put in a good word for the lovely people in the
Tog24 shop in Keswick - who welcomed Pooch in through the door as though he were royalty! ;-))
