Pets & Suits

Suit shopping accomplished!

We finally tore ourselves away from the PS2 and jumped in the car straight to Peter Jackson where the nice man showed us a variety of suits in Gene's size. After determining which suit looked like a school uniform and which didn't, we settled on a gorgeous brown wool pinstripe suit. Now all that remains is to find a shirt and tie and we should be all set.

The best thing about today's shopping trip was the discovery of dog boots/shoes. We went to the pet shop to get some kitty crystals (we're aware that we have a rat, but it helps him to smell less) and lo and behold, no kitty crystals but many pairs of doggy ug-boots. They were zip ups complete with velcro strap to make sure that they stay on. I was tempted to get some just to see if they did stay on because all of the dogs I've had managed to get most bandaging/protection off their paws with just a bit of time and dedication. The cost of the dog shoes greatly reduced my curiousity though.

Safeway proved to have some exciting products though. The one we went to sells Rat/Mouse food! We bought some of that and discovered that we're only meant to be feeding our rat 30g of food a day... Herman's now going on a bit of a diet. We were a little worried that he'd get bored or upset with the new gradual reduction in food so we made up for it by buying him several bird/small animal treat sticks that can be hung up in his cage. We even managed to remember to get him some of those kitty crystals that we'd gone in to buy. Not wanting the dogs to feel left out we got them some dog treats too. We did manage to leave the supermarket without actually buying any of the ingredients that I had planned to get for making dinner tonight though. Guess we really do love our pets!
