At the Home Plus
Keegan and I did a lot of driving around today seeing the sights. We stopped in at a giant shopping mall, and in the department store, there was a pet store. We were entranced by the two very fuzzy and adorable kittens playing in the window, so we went in to look inside. And there we saw an adult white Persian (or similar with long hair) with....orange paws and a yellow tail! When I say orange and yellow, I mean fluorescent orange and yellow, as if the cat's paws and the tip of its tail were dipped in some sort of dye. And all this time I thought a labradoodle was a "designer" animal. Turns out breeding is not necessary, just the tenacity to hold a cat still while you dye it ridiculous colors. Teenage girls came in in droves to ooh and ah, and the poor cat just sat there looking as if it would never recover its dignity. We were seriously sorry not to have the camera!
