    There have been more reported dog bites that have broken the skin from small dogs at my work then large dogs. Doesn't matter if they dog is big or small, there is NO excuses for a biting dog. It also makes the dog unpredictable and un-manageable. One of my worries would be if the house caught on fire. Would a mean, vicious small dog even let a fire fighter near it? Probably not. Or what if the owner has to go out of town? Who wants to care for a small dog that can't even be handled?

    Roxyluvsme13 - Exactly my point. Dog's (besides service dogs) are not supposed to be in malls. So why can this lady bring in her small dog? You know if I walked in there with my large dog I would get shown the way out! Totally unfair!!

    On a Happier Note - I got the small dog play yard tonight at work. 20 small dogs in one room for 4 hours. It was alot of fun! This was a great group of small dogs who were very loving, loved to be held and loved to play. I really enjoyed myself! It was nice to meet 20 small dogs who were well mannered and well trained!
