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.

“I avoided this thread simply because my reply would be that I’d prefer to hang out with dogs over most humans.
To each their own.”
I concur. Mongo, my 122lb Rottie, is better behaved and smells better than most people. My biggest issue is it always seems like some slipper dog with a runt complex has to get in his face. He reacts beautifully. Kind of a dog eye roll expression and a sarcastic yawn.
Can I take my Service Water Buffalo to the mall? Soon the mall will look like Noah’s ark.
I’m sick of America’s love of dogs, they don’t belong in restaurants, malls, places of work or anywhere else in public except for on a leash on a walk outside. FU dog owners, I hate your dog, don’t want it around me.
In Hawaii they’re called, Poi Dogs.
No-in pugs it is called Pug Myelopathy. It appears to be happening more in purebreds. Not much research on it yet. Other purebreds exhibiting the same problem. Devastating to us as our pug was not only a show dog but an agility pug.
There is surgery for this, but our pug is 12 and would likely not recover from just anesthesia alone.
Some people are buying baby strollers because as always, animals costs for same stroller is very expensive.
We have to take our own bags here for groceries and certain merchandise. I always take 2 more bags than I will need. 1 for the seat of the cart and 1 for the handle of the cart. I have found that me not touching the carts in any way has cut way down on getting colds.
Lots of strangeness in the South Bay these days. SF has infected it.
We are moving in a few months after living here over 30 years. My hubby is a California native, and he’s ready to leave.
Come again?
Vendome knows who he is.
Ironically
Perusing this thread I feel like I’m at the zoo observing animals behave
Oh dang! :D
Okay, yep, it seems his reputation does precede him ‘round these parts here.
I agree, that too! So that would be no food stands and no dogs, right?
I’ve had it with YUTES at the Mall.
Flea tick and lice transporters at a food store what could go wrong,in California it’s a trend because everyone else does it.
Idiots
I think you’re lucky to be calling him your “ex.” Me and my two sons are even luckier because we haven’t seen or heard from him in 30+ years. I doubt my ex ever had a dog because he was too selfish to share his life with one, let alone a family.
And that has zip to do with dogs/pets in malls. I'd guess you just dislike animals and found a venue to announce your thoughts. I've noted people who've never had a pet seem generally cold and no doubt feel self important to the point where they have no time for anything but themselves.
Considering the problems the Europeans are having with the islamics, I’d want a dog with me everywhere I go. And a large angry dog for the ladies. It might just make some of the jihadi’s think twice about raping.
What, you don't think people fiddled while Rome burned?
