Last week I went for a long car ride - I love car rides! Where are we going? Will there be food there? We went to Val's Halla Records in Oak Park. And there was food! Val gave me treats right away! Here's a picture of me in Val's Halla Records.
It's blurry. Here's another picture of me by the counter where I got treats.
It's blurry too. I liked Val and the record store had lots of good smells. But my human stood around talking for hours! Hey! Let's go already! Or give me more treats. I didn't get any more treats. We were there so long I had to lie down and take a nap. I give Val's 2 Paws.
Then on Wednesday I went for another car ride. I thought we were going to Waggin' Wednesday, but we didn't. We went to Canine Crews. My human said it was for a 'nose class'. Huh? Um...this place smells like a boarding house. I was ready to go - I don't want to be boarded! Then we went upstairs to a big room. Um...still not liking this! There were a couple of other dogs there too. They didn't look nervous, but still...Emily was there with her dog Kayla - hey, I know them from Safe Humane Chicago! Emily went in the other room and got out a bunch of boxes. I went into the room and she gave me treats! Mmmmmmmm! Buddy Biscuits!!! Then she hid treats in the boxes and I had to find them. I got to eat every one I found! Oh boy! I like this game!! Then I had to go out into the big room and another dog went into the room with the boxes. Hey! He's eating my treats! Let me back in there!! It was driving me crazy! I whined and pulled at the leash and even barked, but my human made me stay with her. Finally I went back in the room with the boxes again and got more treats. I only got to do it a few times and I didn't like having to share it with the other dogs one bit. But I give the Canine Sports Dog Training 'nose class' at Canine Crews 4 Paws! Can we go back next week? Can we? Please???????!!!!!!
Last Wednesday after my photo shoot I went home and took a nap. I thought we were done with adventures for the day, but then my human took me to Fulton Market for Waggin' Wednesday. Oh boy! FOOD TRUCKS! You know the great thing about food trucks? The FOOD!!! First I went to the Starfruit Cafe truck and I got a sample of frozen raspberry kefir. I don't even know what kefir is, but it was really good! More please! I didn't get any more. Next we went to the Taquero Fusion truck. Here's a picture of me placing my order.
I asked for a sampler. That's one of everything, right? I didn't get it. My human got a Flame Asada taco. MMMMMMMMM! I didn't get any. Huh? She said it was for later. Humph! Then we went to the 5411 Empanadas truck. My human gave me a bite of her BBQ Chicken Empanada. MMMMMMMMMMM! So good! More please! I didn't get any more. What the hell? Next stop was the Tamale Spaceship truck. My human got two pork tamales. Oh boy! PORK! I love pork! I didn't get any. I was starting to think Waggin' Wednesday was a big bust. And then I saw the Fido To Go truck - a whole truck with food JUST FOR DOGS! Here's a picture of me placing my order at the Fido To Go truck.
I asked for a sampler. Think I got one? No, I didn't. But I did get a Peanut Butter Banana Bacon frozen yogurt!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMore please! Here's a picture of me eating my frozen yogurt.
It was really good and really frozen! At some point we met up with Scruffy and Yvette and Frank. I don't remember when because I was busy looking at the food trucks, but Scruffy got a frozen yogurt too. Here's a picture of Frank giving Scruffy his frozen yogurt.
He licked it for the longest time! Mine was gone in about a minute. I would have eaten it faster, but did I mention it was really frozen? I also saw Cari from the Puppy Mill Project. I haven't gone to any pet store protests in awhile since it's been so hot out, but she came over to say hi to me. Knuckles showed up too. He stayed at my house for a whole week last year. Here's a picture of me saying hi to Knuckles.
You can almost see Scruffy behind us. Knuckles' human had something called a ribeye slider. It smelled sooooo good! I want one of those! We went over to The Slide Ride truck. Think I got a sampler this time? NO! Sigh. And my human didn't even get the ribeye slider - she got chicken pesto. And I had to wait until she was almost done with it before I got any. But still....MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!! Before we left, we went back to the Fido To Go truck. A guy was standing there with a treat. Hey! He said my name! I sat down right in front of him and some little black dog tried to get between us. Hey! Butt out, smallfry - he said Grizzly! What?! That little black thing is called Grizzly too? Seriously?? You guys don't get the Nature channel, do you? He was nice and gave me some of the treat. Mmmmmmm! I ordered another Peanut Butter Banana Bacon frozen yogurt. Here's a picture of me waiting for my yogurt.
See what the truck says? Yeah, YUM! I wanted to eat it right then, but I wasn't allowed. When they were leaving, Yvette and Frank asked if we were coming back next week. Yes, please!!!!! I give Waggin' Wednesday 3 Paws!!!
