A trip to pet store

Last night our plans to go to Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo were foiled by rain.  So instead we went on an adventure to the pet store!  Evie’s eyes lit up the second we walked in the door.  Bunny rabbits, puppies and birds – oh my!  We held a puppy and Evie showed us how gentle she could be.  She kneeled down to see the puppies in the cages and said “hi puppy”, and giggled like crazy when a puppy would jump up to try and lick her fingers that were pressed against the glass.  The parrots and frogs were intriguing to her and she adored the kitties.  She didn’t seem too impressed by the fish though.  Not that I can blame her.  After going to the aquarium at the zoo and seeing sharks and big, bright tropical fish, these seemed a little boring.   Outside of the puppies, she kept going back to see the giant turtle that they had there.

Our trip to the pet store was definitely a success – although Evie looked very sad when we left and she had to say bye-bye to the animals.  Don’t worry Evie – I have a feeling we will be going back there this winter!
