Keppy Goes Shopping

One day it became apparent that Keppy was getting too big for Momma K to carry her about in the kennel cab. It was time to take Keppy shopping to find a harness and leash so Keppy could walk like a big dog! Momma K loaded Keppy in the car where she promptly crawled onto Momma K's lap and perched herself so she could look out the driver's window. This was somewhat less distracting to Momma K than putting Keppy in the carrier and watching her bite the wire door and make chattering sounds to express her annoyance. Afterall, when Keppy has words they must be obeyed.

When they got to the store Momma K put Keppy in the seat of the shopping cart and went to get some dog food before getting Keppy's leash. Keppy sat in the seat and peered around as if to say "Look at me! Princess Keppy has arrived!" People smiled and pointed at the royal Keppy sitting so proudly as Momma K pushed her around.

Momma K found the leash section and was sad to see there were no pretty pink harnesses that would fit Keppy. Keppy definitely preferred pink, but she had grown bigger than Momma K imagined she would, and so would not fit into an XS harness. Momma K thought the green would go well with Keppy's black and white color and they had what looked to be the right size for Keppy. But to be sure Momma K had to try the harness on the Keppy. She took Keppy out of the seat and knelt down with her on the floor. Oh dear....Momma K had not ever used a harness on a dog before and when she unhooked the buckles the harness looked like a spidery mess. Where does Keppy's head go? Where do Keppy's legs go? Momma K tried getting the squirmy Keppy into the harness but Keppy did NOT like it. As Momma K held the harness up to try and figure out which hole Keppy's head went through Keppy darted under the display rack! It was a very wide display rack and Momma K could not reach all the way underneath it! You would think Keppy would not go in a dark place after the file cabinet forest but it must have been better than getting fitted for a harness!

So there is Momma K- laying on the floor on her belly reaching under the display rack. She grabbed the Keppy by a back foot and dragged the squirmy Keppy back into the light. Keppy gave Momma K a look of annoyance. Momma K finally got the harnes on Keppy but Keppy was pouting. She preferred being unshackled. Momma K selected a matching green leash with shiny bling decorations on it. Keppy's eyes brightened at this, and was somewhat appeased.

Now Keppy was outfitted for the big world and ready for new adventures!
