Not Quite A Bull In A China Shop.

[gness]

No, not me......I called in at the gift shop to pick up a helium filled balloon.
Nice shop....not huge but packed with lovely and fragile gifts and goodies.

The lady filled the balloon...tied on the ribbons and the weight which she put on the floor while she went to fetch a large bag.

That was when her little doggie came from the back room....and took hold of the dangly ribbons.

I have never had a dog but I now know that a helium balloon tied to a ribbon will give a dog an enormous amount of exercise....they love it!

They will shake their little heads....charge around at great speed....take fright at being followed by a purple balloon....spin on a sixpence and attack the balloon.

Dogs can move much faster than the two getting on a bit ladies chasing the dog and the balloon........which did survive with just a few teeth marks and an awful lot of dribble....☺
