Dog boutiques in Chicago

I think we came pretty close to hitting all of the dog stores in the Chicago area.  I love to explore these neat shops, and I always hope to come home with a little something.

Here I am at Sam & Willy's.

Mom, what are you going to get me?

I got a monkey balloon animal like the purple elephant my Gammy and Gampy brought back for me from their trip to San Antonio.  Mom and dad gave it to me when we got home from vacation, and I destroyed it in about 10 minutes!  I'll post about that later.

Another good boutique is Barker & Meowsky.  Mom got me something here too, but I'm not sure what.  She'll have to tell you about that at the end of the post.  When I saw these cool bolster beds, I thought of you, Sid!

Here I am at Two-Bostons.  I got some treats here, but again, I haven't seen them yet!  I tell you though, something smelled pretty good in these bins.

Yes, there is still one more place to tell you about!  My new favorite!  Dog-a-holics!  I mean, just look at the bakery case!  And the picture below probably only shows about a forth of it!  Mom and dad got me 4 different kinds of grain-free and yummy yogurt bites.  I ate them immediately so I don't have any pictures, sorry.  Just as well though because they would probably make you drool even more.

Smells pretty good, but I think I can do better...

Now this is the stuff!  Nom, nom, nom...

...nom, nom, nom!  Get out of this bin and into my belly!

Daddy, can I please have one of those peanut butter basted braids?

Mom and dad were shocked at my behavior!  In all the times that I've been into a dog store, not once have I actually, um, "sampled" any of the merchandise.  So you now have some idea on either how hungry I was or how delectable that bone smelled (and tasted).  I know it broke their hearts not to get it for me.  Sucks having weak teeth!  Anyway, the yogurt bites helped to ease my pain...and I know they got me a little something else too that I can't wait to find out about!  And I can't wait to go back and use the awesome 15% off coupon we got...how cool is it that there is a pug on the front!?!

***Christy here.  Payton did get a nice stash of goodies.  Besides the foodables and toys she mentioned we also got her a platypus Skinneeez, real Maine blueberry treats (isn't the packaging a riot?!?), Trail Mix, and two latex Hartz toys.

Ok, back to Payton.***

As you can see, I had a blast on my Chicago vacation, and I can't wait to go back for more adventures...and more yogurt bites at Dog-a-holics...and maybe a few more nibbles of that bone!  After all, we have a coupon!  Heehee!

Love,
Payton
