As we walked across the parking lot the barking and growling got louder , the hackles on Shy’s shoulders started to stand up as she lowered her head for the charge. ..
So the other day Shy and I jumped in the “Shyrider ” ( ye ole Ford ) and headed down the back roads to Tractor Supply. Our mission was to acquire some more dog treats and to do some socializing with the employees and patrons of TSC..
When we pulled into the parking lot we notice a big black fancy truck parked in our usual spot . Next to it stood a woman and a average size black lab. Shy was checking out the dog as we drove passed to park closer to the building . I shut the truck off . Shy was standing up on the seat waiting for me to open my door .
When she got out she surprised me by walking straight towards the front door. I guess seeing her store friends was more appealing at the moment than a dog , that was until the lab started in on her. He must of said some pretty offensive words in dog talk .. I’m guessing something along the lines of ” hey woof ..that’s a woof woof .. pretty ugly truck grr..woof your riding around in ha ha woof woof ” can’t be sure but that’s what it sounded like to me .. what ever it was it made Shy’s hackles stand up . She dropped her head down and crept forward. . She looked like she was gonna charge the dog . I had left her leash in the truck so grabbed her collar so I could lead her back to the truck , not an easy task mind you .. I said Shy come on .. no matter what he said , you out way him by 75lbs it wouldn’t be fair ..besides your a lover remember!
The words i spoke seemed to calm her down. So we leashed her up and went inside . We made our way towards the dog treat isles with a few stops for sniffin the customers and getting pets along the way .
At the check out all Shy’s favorite people in red vests came over to say hello . The one cowgirl who Shy really likes ! Got a good close sniffin. Shy stuck her nose right up against her leg . This started an interesting conversation. . It went like this
Cowgirl. . To Shy .. you must smell the other dog ..
me.. yep she says you’ve been cheatin. .. what other dog ?
cowgirl. . So and so’s dog.. the $50.000 dog didn’t you see it ?
me .. no I did see no dog that looks like it was worth $50,000 you talking about that lab?
cowgirl. . Yep .. that’s an accelerant dog!
me .. does that meen he’s fast ??
cowgirl. . What ? No ! .. he’s an arson dog
me .. Oooh .. if he was fast he would be an ” accelerator dog ”
cowgirl. . What ? No he’s trained to sniff fires .. his owner has that truck out there fixed up with temperature control , it turns heat and ac on or off automatically if he’s not in the truck .. pretty fancy. .
me .. well.. my Shy can sniff fires and other stuff and I got her for 30 bucks .. and that $50.000 dog about got a butt wooping for barking up an attitude… dang money goes to everyones head !
cowgirl. . He was mean to our Shy ? Well (pats on Shy’s head ) your alright in our book girl !
The sliding glass doors open. . In walks an older farmer looking couple. . Oh is that a Pyrenees ! Shy off to get some pets .. I pay for our stuff and shy walks out the door. We load up in the Shyrider Shy sets down next to me . She’s looking into my face like she’s expecting me to say something.. So I said. . Yes you are a good girl .. everyone likes you ..cept that stuck up accelerator dog.. good think you didn’t woop his butt ..cause we couldn’t afford treats for ether one of us if you did that … thanks for reading
Got to love Shy. She’s such a good girl!! She’s worth way more than 50Gs.
