These people LOVE dogs.

Since it opened several years ago, we visited the Bass Pro Shop in Round Rock regularly with our dogs, Charmin and Paxton. The employees doted on them, lavished them with hugs and treats, and as time went by introduced them to the other shoppers -- “Meet Charmin and Paxton…they have been coming here since opening day! Yes, you may pet them. They are so sweet.” And, we were thrilled to have a place to take them on very hot and very cold days. We’d say, “Bass Pro Shop,” and they would dash to the door. Charmin and Paxton aren’t with us now. (I suspect they’re getting pets in the Great Bass Pro Shop in the sky.) And, because of the pandemic, we haven’t been regular visitors. But we did go today. From the moment we walked into the store, we were welcomed with beaming smiles and warm “Welcome back!” greetings. And, “Who are your new babies?” because we now have Melman and Coco with us on our visits. Five employees approached us, and *all* mentioned that we had been missed. You just can’t know how much that meant to us after having been limiting contact for so long. We’ll be making regular pilgrimages again soon. And, Melman and Coco will understand what it means when we say, “Bass Pro Shop.”
