July 2006 - LITTLE SHOP NEWS
Welcome to the July 2006 edition of LITTLE SHOP NEWS
THEY’RE SHOOTING YORKIES!
Well, it’s the most dreaded time of year around our
household, and I’m not talking about flea and tick season.
With two skittish little Yorkies, I can only be referring
to Independence Day…the 4th of July….Fireworks
Incorporated.
Technically, they can’t sell fireworks in my little town
until July 1st, but someone always manages to get them a
little early, and our nightly walks are turning into a bit
of a game and adventure. For about a month now, we’ve been
going on long walks every evening right around the time it
starts cooling off and getting dark. We’ve been trying to
walk the girls more often, because Cesar the Dog Whisperer
from Discovery channel tells us they should go for a walk
every day. So this was going along just fine and we were
all enjoying our evening walks. Usually Rylie is leading
the way, tugging with all the might her 5-pound body can
muster, and making me wish I had worn roller skates. She
always seems to be on the hunt of some mysterious object we
can never quite catch up with. And then there’s Ellie.
She’s about 8 pounds, and 6 years old going on 45…so she is
usually bringing up the rear. She only gets excited if we
happen to see people out on our walk, so that she can visit
and show them how gorgeous she is. The actual walking
though, she could do without, so she drags along behind us
and sighs in disgust with each request to hurry up. That is
until…
We’re out walking a few nights ago and about two blocks
away from home when we hear a very very distant little
"pop" from a firecracker. This was not a boom by any means,
and not even as loud as a bottle rocket, but Ellie was off
to the races. She immediately did a u-turn and started high
tailing it back home. Now Rylie is the one lagging behind
as Ellie tugs away and looks back as if to say, "Run
Dad…they’re shooting at us!"
So now the adventure is CAN we convince Ellie to go for a
walk, and the game is HOW far can we get before they start
shooting at us and we have to run for cover? It happens
every year and the worst part is it takes a few weeks after
the 4th for her to really start trusting us when we say,
"They’ve stopped shooting at you, Ellie, it’s safe to go
outside again."
Here’s hoping you and yours have a nice 4th of July, but
please, if you happen to see a couple of Yorkies trying to
get in their evening walk, do us a favor and cease fire for
20 minutes or so. J

QUOTABLE QUOTES
You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will
give you a look that says, 'Wow, you're right! I never
would've thought of that!' - Dave Barry
Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole
- Roger Caras
WE WANT YOUR STORY
If you subscribe to the Little Shop News and you shop at
the Little Shop of Terrors, then you MUST have a little
terror of your own, right? And if you are like every other
Terror Wrangler we know, then you must have a story or two
that others might find humorous, or at the very least a
story that will make others realize maybe THEIR terror
isn’t as bad as YOUR terror and they’ll feel sorry for you.
Heck, maybe it wasn’t even a BAD thing your terror did;
maybe it was a cute thing. We don’t know, but we’d sure
like to hear about it.
Here’s a chance for your little terror to be famous. Please
send us a story or two, tell us what makes your dog a
"terror" and we’ll print a new story each month in the
newsletter. Email - info@littleshopofterrors.citymax.com
