| My Petco encounter I have always read about other peoples' rude encounters at Petco & Petsmart and wondered what I would really do if I encountered such a rude beast. Well, I no longer have to wonder. Saturday we drove to MA/Ct border to pick my DS's GF and went into the Petco in Enfield,CT to pick up Kitty Litter while the gang was getting our lunch at Quiznos. Milo and I of course can't resist a little walk around the store and encountered a very friendly Scottie--OMG so cute, and a couple other lovely pups and owners. While waiting in the check out line, the woman behind me drops her bucket of Kitty litter to the floor and scares the crap out of Milo who was on a leash. I hear her say, none to quietly, "Sorry spaz!" In that sarcastic tone we all know. Mind you, Thursday/Friday I had been in a complete PMS frenzy and had settled a bit by Saturday, but STILL> I turned slowly around and can only imagine the look on my face. I looked up into the face of a woman who was 6', (I'm 5'4') about 250lbs and watched as her face quickly went from smug amusement falling and into nervous chuckles. I held her eyes with mine and slowly said with determination, "His name is Milo. (take a breathe and add) Spaz." And turn back around. I barely heard her breathe behind me as I checked out. She's just lucky it wasn't a day or two earlier. That's all I'm saying. |

I have learned over the years --- ahhhh aging is beneficial for some things---that careful, controlled, verbations (my own made up word) always pack the knock down punch. When you throw out the swears and blatant insults, everyone only hears that and no matter the situation, you become the bad guy. | |

| Good for you!!! The only rude comment I've ever gotten at PetSmart was when someone looked at McKenzie, said "oh, she's cute, but isn't she just huge"? I LOL'd because my 4 lb baby is just a giant |
