All too often we hear of shops doing things wrong, lacking in customer care and generally being a pain. How good it was to read about the Fortuna Pet Shoppe on Cheaper Than Therapy. It reminded me of my experience at the Stornoway Garden Centre which doubles as a pet store and even allows schools to have school visits to see its exotic animals. We were not only encouraged to take photos but they even tried to get the Chinese Water Dragon to take a cricket for the camera. The fact that it wouldn’t co-operate wasn’t their fault. You know the saying – never work with children and animals...
The year before last while I was on Skye I got to hold a snake but unfortunately we weren’t allowed to take photos. But holding an Iguana – Wow, Taterbug, I’m green with jealousy!
