At the swap meet this past weekend, I picked up a reflective collar and a “seat belt” harness for Gracie. Mr. Holstein found the leash we had for Kona, today. I needed to find dog food (dry and canned), food dish, and crate.
I found the dry food and a dish at Tractor Supply. Although they had a sign up in the can food section, they did not have the brand she is currently eating. They also did not have the soft-sided crate I wanted for her. There were only cage and hard plastic styles.
Wal-Mart had the soft crate I wanted, but not the can dog food. Kroger did not have the dog food either. So I gave up, got a couple cans of a similar food by the same company, and came home.
I opted not to travel 26 miles to PetSmart to check the dog food. I will be in the area Tuesday and will check then. PLUS, PetSmart is majorly expensive. If I can find the food at a better price elsewhere I will purchase it. Amazon is looking good, actually.
If all goes well , Gracie will be home by lunchtime! I hope she will be settled enough to meet the kids this weekend. Tori is especially excited to meet her.
My routines will change again when she gets here. I will need to make time to walk her, especially in the mornings. My plan is to walk her so she rests in her crate while I am away. She can then be free to roam the house when I get back. After she and the cats have made peace Gracie won’t need the crate unless we are traveling.
