I guess the pets really do like me...

By
Home Builder with The Flooring Girl

This evening I went to an appointment in Katonah for some sanding and refinishing.  As I pulled up the driveway, the friendly dog greeted me.  After I opened the car door, I got a very warm welcome...

...in fact, the dog jumped into the car onto my lap.  He didn't stop there.  He then went to the passenger seat...and then into the back seat with all my samples.  I couldn't help but laugh.  It was quite hilarious.

Anyone who has seen my car knows that it's quite packed w/ samples and this was a nice size dog, so I was surprised that he fit.  Thankfully, he was also able to find his way out.

Hey Debbie~ He REALLY likes you!  Can't believe he actually jumped in your car.  Maybe he wanted some new flooring in his dog house!  :-)

Dogs know the difference between good people and icky ones. If you'd been one of that other kind he'd have probably growled and told you to stay in the car. I always say my dogs are friendly to everyone, but every now and then they let me know that a person is someone who needs to leave - right now.

I can tell - you'd be one they'd pester for pets.

Too funny, Debbie!  You are a very likable person, what can one say- dog or human?!  You'll have to post a picture of your car when you have a moment!

Have a great weekend!

Our dog loves samples of cats, rabbits and assorted rodentia.  The rabbits in the back yard are especially fun to chase, but never catch.

Hi Debbie...I would say the owners dog was glad to see what you have brought for flooring ideas so he could tell his family which was the best for him to walk on and lie on.

Pets are a good reflection of their owners, think about it and observe owners and pets when they are together
