Dressed in her seasonal finery, namely bright red Jingle-bell collar, “Santa’s Helper” bib and topped off with a springy red Santa hat with the while pom-pom bouncing up and down, my girl and I went up to Caffé 104 for our midday repast, and Miss Thriller had a most enjoyable time. It is the café up at the Uni vet campus, Camden. They always treat the little Miss well there, serving her chicken and bacon specially grilled just for the venerable Miss – and this day they added some grilled beef to Her Ladyship’s lunch order! Thriller took some Christmas chocolates up there for owner Karon and her “girls”, hence the most generous serving plus added roast beef!
They are currently replacing their outside decking, and the temporary entrance was further along than the old entrance, only Thriller stopped where the old entrance was and did not want go any further! That girl knew where she was!
Most times when we pull up at the vet clinic carpark, the ever-hopeful Thriller starts walking toward the café rather than to the vet clinic! She has her head screwed on the right way!
Once inside, Thriller was mobbed by diners and staff alike with heaps of photos taken, and people passing their phones to others while they posed with the little love – and Thriller seemed to enjoy the attention, or at least accepted all the accolades she received. Not being used to people, Thriller tends to shut them out, but the little Miss engaged with her admirers – she’s learning, even at 8 years of age! Thriller is again growing, mentally! Her Ladyship also was accepting of later new arrivals seeking her out for photos and selfies, which Thriller duly obliged.
In due course, Thriller’s lunch was served, and later mine. Mmmm, Thriller gets premium service while her hungry dad has to wait! But it worked out well, as Thriller then assisted me in the consumption of my meal. Actually, Miss Thriller wanted to “assist” the chap at the next table who had ordered an oversized jumbo hamburger – Thriller LOVES hamburgers!
Overall, Thriller had a great outing, then we rolled on home, windows and roof wide open with all the air that rushed into her conveyance dancing and toying about her follicular covering yielding a most enjoyable “air massage” to Her Ladyship all the way home.
Yes, the girl had a great time! :-)))))))))
