Dogs in stores

[Candy317]

Ok, whatever. I've stayed out of these so-called 'debates' for as long as I've been a member here.
This is more picking at a subject from a few weeks ago that went into flames... I've tried to stay out. But it's now getting old to log on PT and there is still a argument going on. Let's move on, please.

There are plenty of other topics and picture threads to look at if you don't like it

There's a time and a place for everything. Dogs don't belong in stores. I take my well behaved dogs where ever I can. However, I don't take them shopping with me. Imagine what stores would turn into if everyone was allowed to bring their dogs shopping. The major pet chains can't even keep their stores spotless. On top of that some folks can't even control their kids let alone a dog. Then you have to take into consideration that there are people out there that don't like dogs. It's beyond me why people can't leave there dogs home for a couple hours and run a few errands.

just my opinion of course. :-)

Well everyday I took Princess out for a walk. We walked by Lincoln Road Mall, we went by the store where the owner has a little pom to say hi, then we went to McDs through the pick-up window, and ordered some Mcnuggets and vanilla sundae to eat. After we went by the nail salon to say hi to the owner's little maltese and given the day, I would get my nails done with Princess on my lap or in her own chair. After we went on Ocean Drive and she would attract people with her VIP wristband on her neck and her cuteness, while I handed out flyers for the club. Then back home we went.

Oh I never seen one doggy mess in the whole time I was in South Beach, the locals are pretty good about cleaning after their dogs, plus there's also police and stuff around to remind those who don't abide by the curb after your dog law.

Could of I gone the day without her? Sure. Could she of stayed home alone, sleeping? Sure. I don't know about you, but it seems a lot more fun for her to go out with me than being home alone for a couple of hours

I don't know, maybe South Florida is just too animal-friendly for some. I saw many people on their bikes or walking with snakes on their necks. And I doubt it many people with phobias of snakes want to see that. I've seen everything from someone walking a cat, a small monkey, even a guy and his rooster. Meh, to me there's no such thing as too animal-friendly! Maybe thats why we're known for our hospitality, because there's so much animals around! Animals do have the tendacy to make people smile!
