What Would Scooby Do

My Jeep has a bumper sticker with this slogan on it, and I love it. My friend from college, Vince Tricomi - who used to smoke Marlboro Reds in his dorm room (illegally) and listen to The Doors almost exclusively and bring a freshly plucked flower from Notre Dame's campus (illegal, also) to Beth every day when we worked at Lula's - bought me that bumper sticker as we were making our way down to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Good memories.

Anyway, what would you do if you were in Petsmart with your dog and your dog decided to hike up his leg and take a quick piss in the dog food aisle? If you were me, you'd look around, see if anyone saw, and scram.

Granted, my reaction didn't ooze integrity, but don't judge. I'm pregnant.

You know those stores have cameras all over to prevent theft. You were probably seen--if not immediately, then later when, no doubt, a store employee found the urine and asked to see the playback for the camera which covered that aisle. You should have reported it; I doubt that was the first time something like that happened. What may be more egregious than the story, though, is your use of the slang term for urine. That was quite vulgar.

2 things:

1) don't feel badly-- the times i've been in petsmart and haven't seen a dog piss in an aisle are far outnumbered by the times i've seen a dog piss in an aisle. next time, just let them know-- they're used to it and have a standard "procedure" by which to operate in that instance. god i love scooby-- in his typical, british-accented i'm-better-than-all-of-you mentality, he totally pissed on the idea of a pet supply chain store. laura, i believe that's his way of asking you for more elegant and sophisticated brands--- such as the louis vuitton of dog food, ok?

2) ahh. vince tricomi.
