He got two separate shop keepers to give him doggie biscuits, and a third lady, who sold beautiful leather-bound journals, said, "Oh! It's too early yet! I don't have my doggie treats out yet!"
And, even Dapper Dan, who I posted about a few days ago, and seems to be a Pike Place Regular, told me "I had a cute dog, there."
Dapper Dan, of course, showed up in his cream-colored suit and straw boat hat, and Cat World Guy was there, giving the exact same spiel as last time we visited him and poor Cubby, who is also still wearing that yellow tee-shirt (maybe because no one can get it off the cat).
Also, at least three former or current Westie owners came up to talk about their dogs, all totally excited, and telling me what Wonderful Dogs Westies Are, like they should all be wearing this teeshirt:
We even started out the day talking to Z.W. and his owner. (Z.W. is the other Resident Westie in the apartment complex, and he and Piper are Best Friends Forever). Z.W. had an unfortunate wine-cork eating incident about a month ago, and I hadn't seem him around except once post-surgery, when he was still kind of gorked from the pain meds.
Z.W.'s pet human--whose name I don't even know, or don't remember--said he had about five family Westies as a kid, all named Piper, because the first one came home in a Piper Heidsiek champagne crate. I forget why Z.W. is named Z.W., but any way, we're all glad he survived eating a wine-cork.
Piper posed in front of a post-office box painted to look like R2D2 (except I'm kind of pissed at the USPS, because since when is it forty-one cents to send a lousy greeting card?! In conclusion, may the internet continue to shit all over their business.)
