Rich, my nine-year-old Poodle-Pomeranian, never fails to follow wherever I may go. And that I finally decide to take over my Mom's business, for few years already, she has found the best spot to nap inside the shop where I spent 8 hours daily-- the counter. And even when I'm busy tending to customers, she knows too well that when she stands on her two feet and poke me, she'd be carried up to the counter, her favorite spot. She loves height, obviously, and being admired by strangers.
