Pokey loves to ride his scooter

Posted on by

Pokey loves to ride his scooter. It’s his new favorite thing.

Every time we go out in the car, Pokey gets a kick out of sticking his head out the window and enjoying the breeze. So, when I spotted a scooter with a basket that was perfect for riding a dog around, we had to get it. And it rocks.

The basket gives Pokey a safe place to ride while keeping him exposed to all the air flow. He is very well behaved and sits nicely as we roll.

The scooter is comfortable and easy to maneuver. With a maximum speed of 18 MPH, we won’t set any speed records but we do get a very nice breeze while tooling about.

Shopping at Home Depot

Posted on by

Shopping at Home Depot is something that just comes naturally.  I mean, who doesn’t like to make a trip to the hardware store.  Now I am not talking about “shopping” as in roaming around the aisles gawking at stuff on the shelves.  I mean, getting into the store, finding what you need for the current project and getting out the door and back to the shop.

Pokey and I have made many trips to the hardware store.  Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, True Value and any number of local mom and pop shops.  The folks at Home Depot and Lowes often have treats that they share with the dogs.  Nice touch.

Pokey and I were recently at Home Depot to help family members shop for paint.  We had a lot of fun explaining how the base paints are all white, and the technician mixes in colors in a very fancy machine and then shakes the can to mix the paint. 

We got some great paint samples and some chip brushes.  The samples are on the wall now and the final color has been selected.  It’s going to be a super project.  I’ll enjoy my coffee and Pokey will get some Buddy Biscuits.
