Four words: LET ME AT HER!! Ya sure maybe you dont like dogs! BUT THEN WHY THE HECK ARE YOU AT PETSMART!!! DUH! people can be so dumb, and if a strictly cat person, she dont have to be so stinken RUDE about it.

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.

Exactly! Some people are so ... RUDE! It's horrible! To me, half the fun of going to PetSmart (or PetCo) is to see all the dogs there! If you don't want to be around dogs, then use your head and GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

I never could figure out that cat vs. dog thing - they are both loyal, loving, furry (usually ) beings that give according to what we give them! As a "cat" person, I really get turned off by those other "cat" people who have no love for canine furbeings. The same for "dog" people who won't take the time to know a cat. Hell, dogs get to know cats, and they often become great friends. A lot of cat people (myself included) don't have the physical space for a dog, at least not that they feel (as I do) would be fair to them. But to dislike dogs? - Fear of dogs can be fixed by getting to know dogs, that's what I did. I was attacked when I was three by a poor critter that was kept on three feet of chain in a yard in the sun. My mom was more afraid than I was, and raised me to fear dogs. Well, when I got older, there were lots of dogs around, my friends all had dogs, and guess what? Those dogs taught me to trust and love them. I've been blessed to have had two wonderful doggers in my life since then, sadly gone on (naturally) to Rainbow Bridge. And I look forward to having another when we live in a better place for the dog!
Nah, that woman in the store had "issues" - I can't picture her as a cat person, unless she was one of those pathetic creatures that keeps a cat like a doll - you know the kind! Poor kitty!

I hate RUDE people too, but I love going to the PetStores!!

I am just glad that it was Nebo who was sitting quietly, MY dog WOULD have been all over her!!!

Good boy Nebo for being so well behaved! I loathe rude people too. Luckily I haven't encountered any rude people at the Pet Stores. Just at my apartment.

My dog is Satan Spawn after all. (According to old neighbors at a different apartment)

Nebo - you are such a good boy!!!! Creepy Lady! Tell her to get a life!

Although, I would be a creepy lady ........ except in the opposite extreme. I would be following all of you asking :

"please may I pat your dog"
"no, I don't mind if he/she licks me"
"no, I don't mind if they cover me with dog hair - good luck trying to get past the dog hair I am already covered in from my own dogs"
"no, I don't mind sitting on the floor whilst your dog attempts to sit in my lap"

- Petsmart should have a sign - DOGS SHOP HERE, if you don't like it, go somewhere else!

Oh Wilma would just LOVE you! She likes nothing better than to be able to sneak her tongue into a complete strangers mouth! lol

My pet store that I go to, PetSuppliesPlus, has a BIG sign that says, "PETS YOUR PEOPLE ARE WELCOME TOO!!"

[kohala]

Can my cat climb you? Can my bird sit on your head? LOL!
It's PetSmart, not DogSmart! And, yes, I'd love to get my face doggie licked!

BTW - Have you heard about our new Baseball Park for the San Diego Padres?

Petco is the sponsor!! Petco Park!

Woof! Meow! Awk!

Although that was very rude, I don't think you can say why she was there?? Its Petsmart, for ALL pets, not only dogs. People go there for their dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, rats, mice, fish, frogs, whatever they have. Many people that go there may not like dogs but still have to go there. Personally I love going there. I am very much afraid of large dogs, but does that keep me from going to Petco or Petsmart? NO WAY! I could NEVER buy my birds food from another store. They absolutely REFUSE to eat it. We once ran out of their food, and it was late. Petco and Petsmart were already closed and we were in urgent need of their food. We went to Safeway and got cockatiel seed from the pet section. Came home, gave it to the birds, and you wouldn't imagine what they did! Muffin marched out of her cage in anger, ran back and forth and kept swinging her head round and round in rage! THESE ARE NOT MY TYPE OF SEEDS! I swear, she was protesting! They didn't eat a bite. Anyway, they had to have cereal for dinner and we went to Petco to get their food first thing in the morning. We can't buy their food from any other place. There's just no way. My birds are stubborn about what BRAND of food they eat! LOL. I always go to Petco and Petsmart and they are my favorite stores. I can spend hours playing with the store's pet cat, or the store's pet conure (the one not on sale). I love watching the birds play there, and I love seeing the kittens on adoption day. Do I meet big dogs there? YES! But I just stay away and most of them are on leash so I don't worry about the leashed ones. I have NEVER said anything to their owners. When we went to Petco last week, I was in line waiting to pay for my birds' stuff, when I looked back and found a HUGE akita right behind me. He was very well behaved and wasn't doing anything wrong, but I'm a scardey cat anyway. I didn't do anything, didn't say anything. Just walked one step forward, tried to act brave, paid the cashier and left. The owner never found out I was scared. If you go to Petco or Petsmart, you should be prepared to meet pups. If you don't like them, just stay away or go in another line. Personally I wish they had a seperate line for those with dogs so other people wouldn't have to get scared, but its ok the way it is. That woman was very rude.

True, Amy didn't know why the lady was there, but Nebo was behaving, and there was no reason for her to swear at Amy either.

PCB - No one here is saying only dog people can go to Petsmart. Its perfectly fine to be afraid of dogs but that woman had no right to be so RUDE. Thats what dogs do to say hi, sniff! She's just lucky Nebo didn't sniff her butt. Now that would have been funny.

I think I made it very clear that what she did was very rude, in my first sentence. It was DEFINITELY rude. I could never talk to a pet owner like that. Its so hurtful. I wasn't responding to Amy in the part where I said Petsmart's for all pets, but to someone else who said she shouldn't have been there if she doesn't like dogs and could buy her other pets' food some place else. Sorry if I offended anyone. I think my intentions were misunderstood.
