So a while back, I got a job as a cashier at the Kroger around the corner from my house. Well it turned out to have a particular benefit- visits from the local Canine Assistance training facility just down the street. This means we get to have puppies visit the store! And the younger ones we are allowed to pet, to help with socialization. Most of them are golden retrievers and labradors. It can really improve any day to have puppies...
