The puppy is extremely loveable, placid and intelligent, so I had no qualms in leaving her outside for 3 minutes while I did a quick shop. She was well secured - attached by her lead to an iron pillar in the exterior shopping trolley part of the store.
When I got out, I was berated by an elderly lady for 'abandoning' such a beautiful creature, who 'may have been kidnapped! (surely dogknapped would be a better description)'.
I really had to bite my tongue to not tell her 'For f*ck's sake - it's a dog, not Madelaine McCann!'.
Am getting to like LIDL's now - was probably too much of snob to go there previously (or maybe cos I didn't speak Polish), but they really do what they say on the tin. They sell all kinds of cheap sh*t. Would not be surprised if they even sell upper-body support garments for animals.
Anyhoo, back to the dog - she constantly pines for my sister, when she is not around. Things came to a head the other night when she grabbed one of the sister's bras from a radiator and seemed to be using it as a comforter. I couldn't get her to release it and was eventually half-tempted to make her wear it, and send a photo to:
Bras! On! Dogs!
That would have thought her a lesson.
