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/
What kind person brings unleashed dogs, Shepherd and ankle biters, to crowded areas, and quite honestly, why? Have not seen that before.
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.
You’d think photos would accompany the charge.
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.
Same here.
:)
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.
Oh, I’ve got a friend who takes his pugs to restaurants all the time in a baby carriage.
Seems not.
:)
why step in crap outside when you could just as easily step in crap inside a mall?
Thanks for making my day....I totally understand where you are coming from...jeez louise...leave the dog at home and get a life.
I don’t like sugary sodas, white bread, most chocolates or mayonnaise.
Is that bad?
Ha!
He’s cute!
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.
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?
Depends.
Sometimes I like em in gravy and other times just broiled in the oven with a little Lemon Pepper Salt...
quite easily the most impressive piece of your tome.
I had to supply a photo for the thread ^^
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
