We went to a Flea Market

Mom and dad watched a movie this morning and then mom said she wanted to get out of the apartment for a bit so dad said to get dressed and grab me and we would go to the Flea Market. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why they would want to go someplace and buy Fleas when they are always saying that they hope none of us dogs or the cats get fleas. After a bit of a ride in the truck we got out and there were all these things called tents over tables with all kinds of stuff on them. We saw all kinds of things and mom and dad bought a few things but I didn't see one single flea in the entire place so why is it called a flea market if no one sells fleas? Mom said I did great. There was lots of different types of footing, confined spaces, lots and lots of people as well as lots of smells. I even alerted because mom was getting too warm and needed to sit down so we headed for a little food court type area and I had to sit or lay down under the table. It was the first chance me and mom have gotten to work on that. There were a few crumbs on the floor but not too many and mom was proud of me because when she told me to "leave it" I did. What mom had a hard time with but decided to ignore were all the stupid people making stupid comments. She heard one person say that I must bite and that is why I had on a patch that said not to pet me, another person said "If she doesn't want people touching the dog why did she bring it to a public place?" and another person said "She must be starving that dog why else would it be so skinny." I will have that person know that for my age, breed, body style and activity level my weight is not too far under what it should be(I'm up to 31 pounds now after all the problems with the old food mom had us on but also when mom and dad got me I was REALLY underweight....I only weighed maybe 17 pounds when they got me and I should be about 35 pounds). She also had one mom who had told her son that he couldn't pet me and because the kid started throwing a fit and climbing out of the stroller she took him out and said "Fine Ok go say hi to the dog." Mom moved me away and said "Actually he is working and not allowed to be pet." The mom picked up her kid saying "See he doesn't want to say hi that's why he moved away from you." Never mind telling the kid that I was working or anything. Yeah those people were driving mom nuts. Dad wasn't with us at the time because we somehow got split up so I led mom to an area that was way less crowded and after she took some deep breaths she 2 wayed dad on her phone and told him where we were and he came and met up with us. Then they stopped to get lunch and we went back to the truck. After they ate we came home. We were there for about 2 hours but boy what a 2 hours it was. So much to see, smell and learn. Mom and dad said we might go to another one next weekend that is entirely outside.
