PetSmart Experience

It wasn't so bad. The only public place Tad has been has been the clinic and the dog park. So, I expected some turbulence going into PetSmart today.

Getting Tad out of the Tahoe without Walker and Chica getting out was a feat. I managed, but had two upset doggies in the car. :/ Tad did well throughout the store, sniffing here and there, but sticking right to my heels the entire time. He wasn't nearly as sociable, but this was all new to him.

Oh, and let's not forget all the double takes he was getting and the funny looks. Not one person stopped to talk to me, but one lady and her husband did pull their three chihuahuas out of the way quickly as soon as they saw Tad.

I was wearing my scrubs, and of course, his feet were bandaged...so, perhaps they assumed he was being cared for...? I really don't know.

I initially went into PetSmart to look into T-shirts for Tad. I had stopped by Petco first and checked there, since they normally have more clothes...but, everything was pink and had bows and ribbons. Tad is comfortable in his manhood, I however, could not bring Tad home without testicles and wearing a pink dress with ruffles. Charles would not allow me inside. Haha!

So, Petco had nothing and PetSmart's shirts were all for a Shih Tzu or smaller... :/ ...bummer, I'll just have to keep looking around. Texas gets HOT and that sun is awful big around here, so I want Tad's hairlessness protected with a T-shirt, but I am just having an issue finding one. I won't give up hope, though.

I'm going to keep looking, and also see about having his Superman shirt altered with elastic to fit him better.

  3. yep use little boys tees. cut a u shape out of the belly so he can miss the shirt when he tinkles. and maybe cut a slit and inch or two down the front of the neck if its too tight. iv done this many times...cheaper too. clearance at walmart or even goodwill or garage sales all have plenty.

  7. Kids clothes is a great way to go! And cheaper than the usual dog clothes because you can get a nice cotton undershirt at walmart in a three pack!
