Who Says You Can’t Take Them With You?

Casper, Angelita & Gizmo in a Stroller!

Casper, Angelita & Gizmo in a Stroller!

Last night I stopped by a signing for a very funny book –The A-List Playbook– by E!’s Answer Bitch (Leslie Gornstein) at Barnes & Noble at The Grove.  The book event space (where I hope to have a book signing myself one day soon) is on the third floor.  I got on the escalator behind what I thought was a baby carriage. But as we reached the top floor, I realized there wasn’t a human baby in that carriage, but rather three cutie patootie dogs named Casper, Gizmo and Angelita. Their mommy was bringing them to The Grove for their maiden voyage in their new puppy stroller.

Gizmo seemed a little intent on exploring and getting outside the carriage, but for the most part the dogs were just happy to be in the mix! And while well behaved dogs are welcomed at The Grove, because there is a cafe at Barnes & Noble , dogs are not welcomed anywhere in the store. That is unless you sneak them in inside their stroller-i.e. no one noticed or said anything.

I just wish I could get a stroller big enough for Ranger, but somehow I doubt that would go unnoticed for long!

    HA! This brings back memories! When my dog was 17, she had a severe stroke. A month into her recovery, I purchased a top of the line stroller and took her with me to a friend’s (Hugh Prather’s) book signing at B & N! She got as much attention as Hugh did…oops! Luckily, she rallied completely from the stroke and lived another 2 years.

    Hi, I’m the proud mom of those three cuties in that stroller. To think I used to say, I’ll never be one of those crazy dog people that own a dog stroller. And today, I am the proud dog mom of not only one, But 3 – and I LOVE my stroller.
    Thank you Betsy for your blog – !! And, I am truly sorry for your loss – I can imagine the pain. I’ve had Gizmo for 11 years now, he is my beating heart on 4 legs. When his stops, mine will bleed. Great, I’m depressing myself for no good reason. Gizmo is in amazing health, Thank God and the Holy Spirit! :)
