Entry 14 - Two dog treats

(Feb 8 2026)

Sev loves being a beach town dog.

He loves walking around the town - there's so much interesting stuff to sniff (good and bad stuff...), and he likes having people around, and bumping into other dogs to say hello, and all the shops that leave bowls of water outside are a fabulous perk since he's eternally thirsty due to the prednisone.

We walked to the pet store on the way to the coffee shop - he selected a chewy bone out of the bins that are set at dog level, obviously strategically set so that your dog will browse through them and then you have to buy it for them because how could you not. So, after a few minutes of doing laps around the pet store sniffing everything, he selected his bone, gingerly pulling it out of the bin.

Then we walked over to the coffee shop. I put his bone in a bag and he was heeling right alongside me the entire time (usually he's sniffing out at the edge of the leash, either ahead or behind, but never heeling) trying to get hims nose into the bag. He ALSO got a pup cup at the coffee shop - the guy taking my order asked if he wanted one, how am I gonna say 'no pup cup for him today' - after all if we walk past when they're closed, he'll take me up onto the coffee shop patio/ordering area anyway.

The people working there came over to the edge of the counter to meet him and he jumped up on the counter looking up at them with a big ol smile - the lady put her hand out so he could sniff and he gave her a high-five.

And then we went home so he could chomp hims bone. It's shaping up to be a good Sunday for dags.

Having a delicious sugar coffee and coffee cake for me is pretty good, too.
