I took Nebo to the vet at Petsmart today. Because of his class, they gave me a coupon for a free vet exam. Why not.... It gives him experience with being handled and such. He was a very good boy, didnt enjoy having his temperature taken but he was fine. The vet said everything looked fine, his heart/lungs sounded fine also.

Anyway, after that we wandered around Petsmart and I was buying a box of dog treats for him. I was waiting in line behind this lady. She was almost done with her purchase.

I put Nebo in a sit/stay and he was doing exactly that. Just SITTING. Well the lady had her hand down, and he just looked up and sniffed her hand....that's IT...no licking, no jumping...he didn't even move.

Ok, I'm aware that a lot of people don't like dogs, but is it really necessary to be rude about it? The lady steps back, puts her arms in the air, gives me a nasty look and says (very rudely and loudly mind you) "Will you please keep your damn dog away from me!"



I know that people don't like dogs, but I'm sorry, if you go to Petsmart, you're gonna have dogs around you. I can understand if you don't want the dog jumping/licking you, but just to have a dog be there.....Either deal with it or don't go to Petsmart anymore.
