We’ve created a monster. Whenever we eat, Goldie thinks she should have a share of our food. But she doesn’t just sit up and look pretty. She is demanding, letting us know what she wants with an insistent bark!
Most of our Goldie walks have taken place just around our neighborhood. On this occasion I decided I needed to go to CVS pharmacy, which is across the tracks, to pick up a prescription. There is something of a “forced march” feel to a walk like this. We made it to CVS just fine. I tied Goldie up to a handicapped sign outside the store as I went in to get my prescription. It took longer than I thought, and Goldie was getting very anxious. I came out a couple of times and she was having a fit.
Finally, I got my prescription and as a reward for our effort, I bought a small Snickers bar. And although she didn’t insist as usual, I shared my candy bar with her. And she didn’t even have to ask!
