Foxy’s Big Adventure

Fetch Fetch is a pet store in Old Town Alexandria that sells gourmet doggy-treats and other high quality gourmet goodies. I thought it would be fun to take my dog Foxy on a field trip to Fetch and the bakery that makes these gourmet doggie biscuits. Foxy at River Towers Foxy was eager to leave River Towers on her big adventure, even if she didn't know where she was going. Foxy in the car So we jumped in the car and took her around the corner to Old Town Alexandria VA. Foxy's Pit Stop Once we were in Old Town, Foxy decided to read the doggie-newspaper. One can learn a lot from a green patch on a brick-sidewalk. Foxy approaches Fetch Then it was off to Fetch and to see Marion. Marion and Foxy Foxy is Marion's adopted grandbaby. Marion always greets Foxy with a big hug and lots of kisses.Foxy loves the cookies at Fetch, but she was soon distracted ... she saw trouble coming. Foxy and Magnum Yep. Trouble at least that's what Foxy calls that adorable Jack Russell Terrier named Magnum. Magnum wanted to play, but Foxy didn't like sharing Marion's attention. Foxy's not on the man-hunt and had no interest in Magnum. Xanadu Bakery So we left town and headed to Beltsville, where they bake the Zanadu cookies sold in Fetch and Chateau Animaux. Painting at Xanadu The art work at the bakery was wonderful, but Foxy wanted to see where the action took place. cookie cutters at Xanadu She toured the bakery and found that everything is human grade, made with great loving care. Here's the cookie cutter. Foxy working She grabbed a green tea and cookie and they put her to work, bagging and labelling cookies.
