I have a friend who works in management at a large grocery chain. People are always bringing in their little dogs whether it is inside their jackets, purses or bags. The people get very defensive and rude when asked to remove the dog from the store. It is a violation of public health code to have a non-working animal in any public building. One woman, after making a huge scene, threatened her that if she took her dog out to her car and someone stole it (the dog, not the car) she was going to come back and get her.
OMG, we have gone to far, for sure. I LOVE my dogs but I would never take them into a public place where they are clearly not allowed. Grocery stores, absolutely NOT. I think we have lost the concept that they are pets & not children. I love my pets just like family members (maybe better than some family members LOL) but I do know that they are my fur babies NOT my babies.

I don't take my dog into stores where there is food because of health laws; however, you would never have to wipe the handle of the shopping cart off with a wippie because of germs from my dog. Some of the things I've heard being found on those cart handles because kids ride in the carts. Yuck! Last week I watched a young man (maybe 12) squeeze bags of candy crushing the candy (like p-nut butter cups) while waiting in the grocery checkout line. His mother was right there paying him no mind. My doggie would never do that! And the kids that "touch" everything. If you think about it you would wear gloves every time you go shopping. One place for germs...the key pad on the credit card machines at the checkout. Kids in carts have access to those and I've seen some really disgusting things there. My doggie wouldn't touch those either. Why not? Because I would not ALLOW it. I love little people but wish parents paid more attention to them and what they are doing. If I have a choice between and little dog in a cart and a little person....well, its all in how they are trained and monitored.

I find it amusing that people need carriers for their dogs, when the dogs have twice as many legs as the people! I saw an older couple walking near our home with their little dog in a stroller that looked like it was made for a dog (all screened in). I just don't get it!
