On Tuesday evening, my hubby & I went shopping, and *of course* Malone went with us because he always goes with us wherever we go, whenever he can. It had been quite warm & sunny during the day, but by 7:30, it was down to a cool 65 degrees and the sun was going down. We still left the windows open 1-2". We were in the store 20 minutes or something, and getting ready to go, when I heard over the pager system that would the owner of <my car> please come to the front. My heart stood absolutely still, and all I could think was that my puppy was hurt, or that someone stole him or something. The walk from the back of the store to the front of the store was sooo long! I wasn't up there 2 seconds before this PERSON lit into me, that it was unsafe to leave my "animal" in the car, that I was being cruel etc. etc., and that I should learn to leave my windows open (THEY WERE!) I kept my cool, but I can just imagine that SHE is the type to leave her dog at home chained up on 3' of rope. I guess I can appreciate her concern, (only in that if I saw a dog in danger I would light into them, too), but it really it ticked me off because I am soo careful, to be sure and leave water, leave windows open, only leave him for a little while at a time, etc. etc. Thanks for letting me vent!
