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 have no problem with dogs in public if people have them under well control. The problem is, most don’t. Even at the vet. Our previous dog did NOT like many other dogs. She had been attacked when young by a neighbor dog (neighbors shoved the dog out the door at night to use the neighbor’s yards as a toilet). After that, she was aggressive with strange dogs. I have warned people to keep their dog away from my leashed one and they tell me “it’s ok, my dog’s friendly”. Well MINE wasn’t and they were shocked when my dog clamped down on their dog’s snout when it got all up in her face. I would repeat through clenched teeth, “GET. YOUR. DOG. UNDER. CONTROL.” And, of course, once we got into the exam room, we hear the same dog get into a ruckus with someone else. Some people shouldn’t have dogs...
YES !!
But, said by someone who no longer goes to a mall.
Thanks for sharing.

This is my pet peeve too. People think it’s perfectly acceptable to bring their dogs ANYWHERE. It’s to the point of ridiculous.
‘Stew Pet dog’? Is that like a ‘step on’ dog? Inquiring minds want to know.
OK...I thought it was against the law to have a dog in a public area where people are eating.
Service dogs are trained not to bark or approach strangers. They always stay within 1-3 feet of the person they work with. Also service dogs usually are walked with a stiff harness that doesn’t allow the dog to pull.
Why anyone would bring such a dog into a public place like that, I don't know.
I seem to recall that most state health departments do not allow it. Where is enforcement?
Now I’m just conjuring up crap.
Dogs slobbering all over the food at grocery stores? That’s gotta be okay, right?
Dogs with fleas and the fleas transmit whatever to a human?
Shedding from of these massive animals is ridiculous.
I have another friend who has two, count em, two
Leonberger horses....erh, dogs.
Cuddly monsters but, man!!! They throw off so much hair/fur it’s crazy!
I won’t even get into my friends car so I can avoid getting massive amount of hair all over me.
I’ve even seen Leonberger’s at the mall.
Biggest one I saw last month was at the mall across the street, which is an outdoor mall.
A Caucasian Shepard is as big as a bear and I swear, the guy who owned him had to be rationing his own food intake so he could afford to feed this idiotic size of a dog for city dweller.
I mean, who want curb that frickin pig and clean up afterward?
His Crap Burgers would weigh 10-20 pounds!
Sweet Deal!
I suggested that but, they must have gotten over the whole over heating thing.
Just had dinner at their house and they said the dog’s don’t need the tub of water, now that they are older....
Weirdo...
If a dog attacks me or my kids, it will be dead. I have been bitten in the past, several times. My only regret was that I didn’t have a 9mm on me at the time.
Yeah, get that alot...
lots of pagans out there, worshiping animals and inanimate objects before they honor GOD....of course they think everyone should have similar thoughts.
I got to a restaurant in Carmel that is pet friendly, most of them are.
But, the pet friendly side of a restaurant is a separate area
I wonder why I keep misspelling restaurant over the last year. Pretty sure I use to spell it with no problem for 50 something years before...
