Sadie and her dogs

Tonight Sadie started asking me to take her to this store. She has never, I mean never, asked me to take her to a store. She didn't know the name of it, but said there were lots of pretend cats and dogs there and she went with Grammy last week. She said it was the best store ever. I asked her where it was and she said it was near the juice store and near the mall, but not in the mall. I said, "Let me text Grammy and ask." In the meantime I asked her if we were to drive around and she saw the store would she recognize it and she said, "yes." So in the car we went. The only guess I had was that it could be this store called, A Boy and his Dog, that is a children's clothing shop/toy store. I had liked their facebook page but had not yet had a chance to make it in. When we pulled in the parking lot I asked her each store, "Is this is? Is this it?" To each one she responded, "no." We pulled up to A Boy and his Dog and I asked the same question. She got soooo excited and screamed, "YES, This is the store!!!!" It was about 5 minutes after 6 pm. Being that it is a local store, I had a feeling it might have just closed. Sure enough, we walked up and they had closed at 6. Sadie was heartbroken. She cried and cried and showed me things in the windows. The shop owner, Stacy, happened to be inside and saw us. She was kind enough to come to the door and let us in. She remembered Sadie from being in there on Friday. She shared with me how she let her play with all the animals and what a great time she had. I can't remember the last time I received such amazing customer service! Sadie is now the proud owner of 3 puppies that came with a bed, grooming kit, a bowl, a toy, and a book about caring for your dogs. She had some seriously cute things in there! It would be a great place for me to shop for photo props and baby gifts. I always like to support local business first, and I will definitely be back!
In other news, Sadie has agreed to clean out some of her toys since she got several new ones. :)
