I've officially had it with dogs at the mall

What kind person brings unleashed dogs, Shepherd and ankle biters, to crowded areas, and quite honestly, why? Have not seen that before.

[Salamander]

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.

[Salamander]

You’d think photos would accompany the charge.

[MrEdd]

Move out, and move to somewhere with coyotes and great horned owls.

People still have dogs, but not so many little barking yippers that they could try to take shopping with them.

[Salamander]

Same here.

:)

[Vendome]

Okay, I see where you are going and would join in your Holy Crusade or Cursade to rid the malls of the ignoble and vile brats...

Where shall me and my steed meet you?

Do you require particular weapons?

I am a man of means and will not require payment unless the Pope wishes to remunerate me in this Holy and Just Cause.

[Vendome]

Oh, I’ve got a friend who takes his pugs to restaurants all the time in a baby carriage.

[Salamander]

Seems not.

:)

[Bob434]

why step in crap outside when you could just as easily step in crap inside a mall?

[abigkahuna]

Thanks for making my day....I totally understand where you are coming from...jeez louise...leave the dog at home and get a life.

[Vendome]

I don’t like sugary sodas, white bread, most chocolates or mayonnaise.

Is that bad?

[Vendome]

Ha!

He’s cute!

[Vendome]

No, not really.

It was a pretty unremarkable news day

But really, someone could have been seriously injured and probably will in the near future as people become more conceited about taking their animals to places where they really should be.

I was largely chased out of malls because of the unleashed teenagers misbehaving in much the same way.

Go buy a stun gun flashlight with a 6-9 million volt stun. You see a dog, you press the button and make a few cracks with the stun gun and it scares the crap out of them. If the owner gets pisses, hold it up and let loose a few cracks and ask him if his balls want a taste?

[Vendome]

Depends.

Sometimes I like em in gravy and other times just broiled in the oven with a little Lemon Pepper Salt...

[onona]

I don't speak

quite easily the most impressive piece of your tome.

I had to supply a photo for the thread ^^

I watched a British series about couples opening up bed and breakfasts/hotels/wedding venues all around the UK. One married couple had bought an already established restaurant/hotel, and were trying to come up with ways to increase business. It was recommended that they set one or two days aside each week to allow people to bring their dogs to the restaurant...because as the program said: "We British love our dogs." I know some hotel chains in this country allow people to bring their pets, but to restaurants? I certainly wouldn't go to any restaurant that let people bring their pets. I always thought that restaurants should have separate rooms where people with young kids could be seated, well away from other folk who want to be able to relax and have a quiet meal. I know my kids probably drove people nuts which is why we rarely ate out when they were little.

Another program I watch is Antiques Roadshow UK. Each week they go to historic places, manor houses, castles, castle and abbey ruins, etc. And people bring their dogs...and there are a lot of them. And like children, some dogs just can't behave when they are out.

Back in April I was visiting my son who lives in Indiana. One Saturday morning we went to a farmer's market, and of course people had their dogs on leashes. And there was almost a disaster as one woman walked over to talk to a couple who had a dog on a leash, and the dog went after her. We left shortly after. I know people love their dogs and pets. I'm a cat lover, but I just don't understand why some people feel the need to take their pets, especially pooches everywhere they go.

Shock Collars would solve a lot of the issues.

Just to be clear.... not for the dogs
