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/
i like dogs and have 2 and they don’t belong in malls, restaurants, the movie theatre. Just leave them home. If you are too insecure to leave your house without Fido, stay home too.
Have some real fun and get the dogs banned by sneaking a chicken in and releasing it in the food court when you see a few dogs in the area...
No way would my dad have taken our German Shepherd walking at the mall or a dog park for that matter. There would have been lots of carnage involving those Stew Pet Dinky Dork Dogs.........LOL!
It isn’t the dogs - it’s the idiots who think they’re doing a favor to others by showing off their dogs...
Save for later.
Pet free for 50+ years and loving it $$,$$$.$$
You never know .....
What idiot expects to have a quiet “dinner” at the food court in the mall? Tiresome. If not for the dogs, he’d be bitchin’ about the kids.
Sounds a lot like the writer of this whining diatribe.
And I am planning my escape from the other coast (CT).
Recently in Walmart a woman came in with her unleashed dog. The dog went to the toy section while she went to the garden section. CLEARLY not a service animal if she didn’t need it with her.
Here’s the shocking part. Despite my county having a leash law AND the American with Disabilities Act requiring manual control of your animal, the Wal mart manager said the unleashed dog was acceptable Wal Mart policy.
Wal Mart corporate disagreed and within 30 minutes they had the the manager call me with his corrected understanding of law
People have to walk their dogs somewhere in Winter, I bet soon they will offer permits for mall dog walking. I bet people already use the covered parking garages.
I leave my dogs at home not for the peoples safety but for my dogs safety.
Good idea. Thanks!
Soften the “T”,,,
STUPID.
;)
When I was selling my home, my broker warned me that the buyer was bringing her dog to the closing. Closing was at attorneys office. The dog was a St. Bernard who sat under the conference table the whole time. He was better behaved than my kids.
Bravo!
I love dogs. Dogs aren’t the problem, the problem is the people here who act like dogs.
“ Is that bad?”
No. Artificial sweeteners kill your gut bacteria.
Well, of course there is.
There is the state of world affairs, the deforestation in Brazil, the corruption in DC, the islamic jihadi nutballs, the stupidity of the...well, yeah, there are more important things.
But knowing all that, I still object when a dog sits in a booth next to mine in a restaurant and shakes his coat out and deposits untold amounts of flying dog hair on my food.
I object when a yappy little hairball is put on the floor of the local Sam's Club and allowed to deposit it's feces on the traveled portion of where I am shopping for food and the recipient of the "services" of the "animal" just smiles stupidly and walks away.
I object when a pair of unknown to one another "service animals" confront one another in a crowded airline aisle, barking, growling, throwing spit all over and presenting the possibility of an innocent bystander being bitten.
And then, after calming the animals, I and all present are subjected to 15 minutes of butt-smelling and posturing, because, don't ya know, "they have to become known to one another".
I object when I go to get a push basket and find a yellow liquid dripping thru the grates to the bottom, because little Fido, the "service animal" has pissed all over the basket.
This "service animal" crap is out of control.
Dogs are dogs.
Period.
As much as I love mine, I am not so immature and out of touch as to think that everyone else is willing to put up with them in public places.
And please...since we can't solve the worlds problems, abolish corruption in DC, cure poverty in Africa or cure Ebola, maybe, just maybe, someone could tell me just what the hell a "service animal" is, when said "service animal" is in the arms of a little old blue-haired lady in the CVS and the "service animal" is doing nothing but barking, barking, barking and absolutely driving every one else out of their minds.
Yeah, there are more important things...but not a damned one of them will be solved by accepting the pain in the ass that these so-called "service animals" have become and are.
And can anyone define a "service animal"?
If so, then perhaps we can work on establishing a true set of guidelines as to where and when the little bast...uh, "service animals" will be accepted and tolerated.
Knitting and embroidering a silly looking vest for your beloved little shi...tsu ankle biter does not a "service animal" make.
End of rant.
And the worlds problems remain...as do the evil little ankle-biting bas...uh, so-called "service animals".
