I scour the web for a cheap pup
I discover that a shelter is displaying all their large breed puppies at a PETsMART in Poway at 11:00 -5:00 this Sunday. Sunday. Sunday.
Sunday 10:54am
I spurt out of the house. Water taps my shoulders. I open the door to my 1997 saturn and with both hands, grab the sliver of window that peeks out of the door. I jerk upward and a dirty window appears. I hop in the low rider, flick on the wipers, and book ass. The parking lot was packed and the spaces were tiny. The absent side-view mirror prevents an insurance claim once again. I squeeze my fingers between the window and the door frame and jerk downward. I stick my hand out and pull the wet door handle to open the door. Water taps my shoulders. With both hands, I grab the sliver of window that peeks out of the door. I jerk upward and a dirty window appears.
I spy a whirlwind of uncoordinated creatures enclosed within three foot high circular fence enclosed by fourteen energetic soccer moms accompanied by thirty-nine bouncy small uncoordinated humans. I panic. While grappling with my fears, a cheery woman in a short-sleeved navy polo shirt with a bleeding heart sidles next to me. She cradles twenty-five pounds of fur with paws of a grizzly in her bosom. The furball is immune to the canine fueled excitement. She interviews me cloaking the encounter as a flirtatious dog enthusiast chat. During the interview, she passes me the furball, who promptly falls asleep in my arms. After I spew some liberal propaganda, I walk out with furball, but the wise interviewer halts my exit.
“Legally, I need to follow you to your car to make sure the dog is safe”
This sounds like bullsh@t. Either she is suspicious I am grinding furball into hot dogs or she wants some candy.
Walking briskly, “Are you going to keep her name Melody? " she giggles as she touches my shoulder
"No!" I cringed.
"I shall name her Twenty", I declared
"Why?" rubbing my back.
"It just seems right" as my hand slides down her back and rests on her well-defined hip.
The chatting and overly friendly touches confuse my hippocampus, and I forget the coordinates of my car.
Two bitches.....What a day....I chuckle to myself.
Finally, we arrive at the 1997 Saturn.
"Why don’t you have a bumper?", as she recoils her hands.
"I have a bumper, but the Saturn advertising plastic cover fell off. It’s all legal. The jagged plastic grid just makes it look like something out of MadMax. That’s all." I stumble out of my mouth.
Gleefully, I drive home with the bitch I came for.
