When did it become acceptable for everyone to bring their Stew Pet dogs to the mall?
I just wanted some vegetables and chicken for dinner so I stopped at our mega mall here in San Jose and grabbed my chow at Sarko.
Yum
So, I am sitting there taking my first sip of my Diet Coke and I start to hear the whining of a little dog.
Concerned, I look around and don't see it.
Then this lady walks past me and she has two dinky dogs on a leash. I probably know the breed but, whatever.
The dinky dork dogs start whining and it occurs to me, as some dog from across the food court joined in, that someone is going to hurt if this Stew pet woman doesn't reign in her animals, making the leash a little shorter.
Several people got caught up in the leashes, as there were unaware the dinky dork stewpets had wondered 10 feet away.
Some one could have tripped and got injured and the animals themselves could have been injured as well.
So, I try to ignore this ignoramus of a woman, who must feel she is entitled to force her emptiness on the rest of us through the use of the animals.
Well, not to be out done, a few moments later I feel something hitting my calf and I quickly reach down to swat it away and found another Stew Pet Dinky Dork Dog who just had to get under my legs and the table.
I start to look around for the owner. He came by 30 seconds later and simply apologized an laughingly took the dog to some other place, so it could bother another innocent person.
Nope, a few minutes later I felt something nudging my calf again.
Looking down I again saw that little brat of a Dinky Dork Dog and again his Stew Pet owner gathered him up and apologized.
I almost verbally laid into to him but, wasn't in the mood.
Back to my meal, oh no wait.
Just a few minutes later I hear a rather large bark, seemingly from a full size dog.
I look in the direction of the bark and yep, it was a German Shepard, who was not on leash and began wondering through the crowd of people nearby.
I saw two women nearly trip avoiding this stewpet dog and they were very startled.
That dog was collected by its stewpet owner who apologized.
But, just so everyone could have a good time the 1st idiot stewpet dorky dinky dog owner thought it would a great idea if his non-sentient canine met a much larger non-sentient canine
I dunno maybe he thought they were family and wanted to reunite them.
The lil bass tards laid into each other in some sort of verbal spat I guess.
I don't speak so, I am only going by the growling and fierceness of the barking they were really not happy seeing each other and did not wish to be acquainted.
Anyway, I don't care if you bring your dog to a mall. Actually, that is a lie. I do care but, I will tolerate your lil beastard if he is well behaved, socialized and on a short leash.
rant off/
There should be fewer dog lovers who don’t like kids ANYWHERE. You all deserve to be wrathed over by Genghis Khan. May he find you all fast.
You can get the attention of any woman on the face of the earth with the right dog.
It is really the best icebreaker ever.
My problem is that I’d rather just hang out with the dog. Human female is just an obstacle and a complication.
Wow...
Never heard of cancer of the toe...
You’d love my dogs, then.
Now matter how much I beg them to relieve themselves in designated areas, they refuse.
They will only potty at home, no matter how long they’ve been away.
Hrafi had a pee accident in Home Depot when he was very young and the shame and horror on his face was heart breaking.
Other people and employees helped me blot it up but I swear it must’ve humiliated him so badly that he will cross his legs in misery before he would have an accident.
Mine would sit and offer a paw, hoping to be rewarded with a bit of it.
Why?
Because they were taught that nothing in life is free.
Could not care less...what your rant was.
I didn’t photos of dogs running loose in a mall, though.
;)
Any cop or muslim walking nearby and the dogs would have been unnecessarily and deliberately targeted and shot.
I’ve been going to that Safeway around the corner from Vasona to hit up on chicks (How do you cook brussel sprouts, acorn squash etc...?)
Big Basin Burgers has great burgers and wonderful women as well.
There is also a little cafe by the name of Aldo’s. Great place for some wine and conversation with beautiful woman sidling up to the bar....
He’s not a woman, btw.
:)
We can’t even go into a grocery store without a comfort dog.....God save this country
Sometimes, it’s part of a socialization process for abused dogs.
Pretty sure Wally World would not be MY first choice as it’s simply too overwhelming, even for calm dogs, at times.
People don’t realize that everything we see/hear/smell is amplified a thousand-fold for dogs.
I socialized my dogs in stages, starting with mellow, dog friendly places like Michaels Crafts store, then onto Hobby Lobby [bigger, more people but still calm] and eventually places like Lowes and Home Depot.
Progressive exposure makes for level dogs.
I really hope there were not dogs running loose at the mall tough, because that is an accident waiting to happen.
You never know how someone may react to a dog that gets too close, especially if they have kids. Whoever may have been letting a shepherd run loose in a mall is, in my opinion, endangering his dog.
Yep.
And the dog owner would have himself to blame.
A dog owner must protect everyone from his dog, and he must also protect his dog from everyone, including the dog owner himself.
Sh!t can go wrong real fast.
Godwin wept.
Actually very common.
Squamous cell carcinoma.
Fortunately localized and the two biopsies came back with no spread and very clean margins.
Hopefully she’ll never have any more.
Have you ever seen the reaction of a moose encountering a big black dog?
It’s like mosquito repellent.
Maybe I should have been born in Missouri.
:D
AGREE!
What is a “stew pet”? I love dogs and I don’t like the sound of that at all. You must hate dogs if you want them in your stew!
