Poor Merry Myrtle had to miss her Tuesday Puppy Latte and her trip to Petco! And that dog KNOWS when it's Tuesday!
So we get up to the window and the guy takes FOREVER bringing her the latte! But her anticipatory look is just precious! She stayed completely focused on that window and didn't bat an eye! And I cut out about 15 more seco ds of her "anticipation" so the video wouldn't be too long!
I tried to get a quick shot of the guy behind the window. I think it was his first day and he was grimacing with disgust at her slobber and drool bubbles! The girl who handed her the latte said "this is ine of iur favorite puppies!" I think you can hear him say, "You call THAT a puppy?" And then I asked him if he wanted ro kiss the mug....you'll hear the "No!"
I didn't bring any home to Frankie...his tummy's still a little off. But he got some pepcid wrapped in chicken. YUM!!!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Haha, I think that guy is traumatized! LOL You should have handed him back the cup and asked for a refill. Too funny. Love how she cocks her head as she is waiting. She is adorable! I will smooch your mug Myrtle. Lori, Ty & Gang
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
Okay, I have to admit when I was the server's age I might have been a bit fearful of a big, drooly dog. It's one of life's experiences and I'm sure this fellow will tell his friends and they'll be impressed that he gets to serve dogs as part of his job.
I happy to see Merry Myrtle is happy to be out. Hopefully Frankie is feeling better so he can join in on the next outing.
