My best friend Rocket, pictured above, is a little bitty guy. That’s a purse he’s sitting in in the photo. This will give you an idea as to how tiny he really is. I hear comments from people about about his size all the time.
I heard something today from someone that I’ve never heard before.
I took Rocket to Petco today to get his nails trimmed. I was holding Rocket as I waited for the woman behind the counter to finish waiting on the customer that was ahead of me.
While standing there, a man entered the store behind me. He had a beautiful shepherd mix on a lease. The dog was all white with beautiful light blue eyes.
I looked at the man and commented “What a beautiful dog!” He said “Thank you! Tell me, how often do you have to replace the batteries in yours?”

Hilarious- thanks for sharing! I have a chihuahua mix, but he’s about 15 lbs. Don’t you just love their personalities?

Great line!
BTW: your doggie is what was referred to a few years back as a ‘pocket pet.’ Or did you already know that? (my cousin owned an independent pet store back then, so the info was from her)

I had forgotten that phrase. A lot of people, including myself call Rocket, “Pocket Rocket”! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

You’re right, that WAS a great line!
In all fairness to Rocket though, he has stealth on his side. AND he can get into those hard to reach places in a pinch. And he can accompany you anywhere, which makes his life quite interesting and full.

Oh I agree! I do not see Rocket’s size as a negative! And as you might guess, he does go almost everywhere with me. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
