I have to say that I have come to love shopping and I am not sure why my dad complains about so much! I recently went shopping with my mum to Louis Vuitton. We were both birthday shopping. I have to say though...here in Australia...shops don´t take to kindly to "Little Men in Furry Suits" shopping with the humans. I don´t really know why...as have you seen some of the little kinds in shops??? OMG they can scream loud! And for us little poochies the screaming sound only echoes even more in our tiny little ears! Their little screams can ring in my ears for days! Well anyway....back to my story, yes my mum and I were out Birthday shopping and she decided that it was going to be a special occasion so we went to Louis Vuitton. It was so exciting as I had to make an appointment to actually go in there! I figured that if it was that complicated then it had to be good! What I do have to tell you is that the start of my experience was not too good. There was a big guy on the door who to me was a size of an elephant, and he actually tried to descriminate about my "furry coat!" by saying I couldn´t go inside. Not to be put off by his rude gestures (and the fact he told me to get out!)...my mum stood up for me (That´s my Girl!) by stating that her little man actually had an appointment. And so in we went. It was quite fun trying on the collars in store and we picked out one that my mum said made me look handsome...although I know that really I look handsome without it! I was especially popular with the ladies in there that day...and all the time while I was shopping I was smiling at all the excited people and I was thinking "work the room boy!". Anyway my day was so much fun, and my mum took some pictures (yeah mums can be embarrassing at the best of times), and I have to tell you that it was one of the most memorable shopping days of my life. I do have to ask though...why is it tourists like to take pictures of strangers? Then I worked out that they just had to take my picture to show their furry kids back home! Anyway I am off on another adventure........ Luv Ruffus XO 15/05/08
