We took a car ride to Franktown, Colorado, the other day for our bi-monthly grooming appointment. Our trip started out pretty uneventful, but it suddenly turned into a goofy disaster!
We stopped at a grocery store on our way and Wen bought a dozen donuts for Gigi, our groomer, and the girls who work for her. She placed the box of donuts on top of Sadie’s crate in the car, so they would be safe from Sunny, who was riding shotgun, instead of in crates, like the rest of us Scotties. Unfortunately, as we stopped at the first red light, the box of donuts slid off the crate, opened up, and donuts went flying everywhere, which definitely captured Sunny’s attention. Wen immediately pulled into a shopping center parking lot as she fought off Sunny from getting to the donuts. She got out of the car, opened the back door, and half of the donuts fell out onto the ground while the other half had rolled around in the car and picked up dog hair. Since Wen didn’t want to give the groomers donuts with dirt sprinkles and hair, she trashed them and bought another dozen at a nearby store. The second box rode in the back of the car between Molly’s crate and my crate, where Sunny couldn’t reach them, and they made it to the grooming shop with no further problems. Everyone there was grateful to get an unexpected treat, so the donut caper actually ended on a positive note.
We’re exhausted from our grooming appointment and we didn’t get a donut.
