Alright so I have to share my story as I am so very proud of Penny. So a few weeks ago, right after we had blood drawn, i had asked my vet about me setting up an Rx account at a local drug store, as it would save me money and he was cool with that, so I went to Wal-Greens. To put all 5 of my animals, all 4 dogs and Highway, the cat on an Rx program there cost me $35.00 a year and Penny's Pheno now cost me $9.99 for 100 pills instead of $25.00, like at my vet's office. This thing has already paid for itself :D So I asked when I was setting everything up if it was ok if I could bring Penny in with me next time. She said she didn't see why that would be a problem as she had seen other people int he store with their dogs. I asked if they were service dogs and she said no just regular people with dogs, I told her ok cause Penny was a therapy dog. She was like cool.
So last night we had to do our first refill. I called it in and an hour later, Penny and I went into Wal-Greens to get her medication. :D And nobody said anything to us. We are walking down the back aisle, cause the pharmacy is in the very back and there is a lady standing at the end of that aisle, Penny's tail starts wagginga nd the lady says " awww what a cute girl" I told her we were there to pick up her meds. SHe asked me what was wrong with her and I told her she had epilepsy and had to take Pheno everyday to keep it under control. I also told ehr about her being a therapy dog and she loved her booties and said it was really cool that she doesn't mind them being on her feet. Penny got lots of love from her. So we go stand in line to wait our turn, of course with people gawking, Penny was SUCH a good girl and did her "front" and she sat right there looking at me the whole time.
So we get up to the counter and the same girl that set up the Rx account was there and she just fell in love with Penny and got her Rx and came from behind the counter, cause Penny wouldn't jump up there, I told her she has been trained not too, lol. And Penny flopped on her back for eblly love, even the people that had been gawking laughed. She asked me what kind of dog she was and I proudly said, loud enough for ALL to hear. "American Pit Bull terrier" She looked at me and was like wow, I've never seen one so well behaved, she is such a good girl. ANd the lady that had been standing closest to us, moved away a little bit when I said what breed Penny was, but she asked me if she would bite her, and I looked at her and she was looking at the other lady petting Penny's belly and ten this guy with his daughter walks up and she says " Daddy, a doggie" and took off and sat next to Penny to give her love.
OMG the look on the dad's face was priceless and then the lady that asked if Penny would bite her bent down and gave her love. So she got love from li ke 4 people at Wal- greens, it was ooo awesome, I know it seems silly but I am so very proud of her. The little girl thought Penny's booties were very stylish and asked her daddy if their dog could have booties. ;)
