Don't go to France. They are at their owners feet in a LOT of restaurants.

I can tell you with confidence that I will never set foot in France willingly or on purpose unless there is some reason that any airplane I am on has to touch down there. Understand it's pretty bad in Florida too. that's anoher place where I really don't want to go unless there's some compelling reason.

I was in a grocery store a couple of weeks ago, and this woman's dog crapped through the grate of the cart onto the floor right in front of the deli. She was just walking away until I called her on it. She pretended not to have seen it and asked how I knew it was her dog. :rolleyes: I flagged down an employee, but didn't say anything, I just stared at her until she did.

Kind of an asshole move, but I wasn't trying to make her feel bad, just do what any reasonable person would do. Also, don't bring your freakin' dog into a grocery store unless you're blind. Also, if you're going to be an asshole and do it anyway, at least make sure the thing craps BEFORE going in!

They cleaned the floor, but what about the grates of the cart? I hope the remains of dog shit got all on her food, and she didn't notice it in a small amounts on her hands before she absent mindedly licked off her fingers.

:sulk:No, I don't hope that. I hope she learned a lesson and doesn't do it anymore. But I kinda wish I hoped something harsher!

That is absolutely disgusting. what a turd of a woman and I do wish she would have licked her damn fingers. this is why they don't belong in stores is because their naked anus is everywhere around your food. I could almost guarantee these are people that were mask nazis during COVID too.The majority of dog owners I have been around absolutely refuse to train their dog or hold it responsible for anything either which is the real problem.

I'm in a clothing store the other day and this dumbass lady has her little dog with her on a leash. Like what's fido going to do? tell you if you look fat in those jeans? 🙄🙄🙄

So glad I don't own a store and have to battle against people that think their pets belong everywhere. 99% of them probably just give in because they want the business and these dog bringing people know it.

I absolutely love pets. I absolutely loathe when people take their pets into stores they really do not belong in. I am fine if a restaurant has a dog-friendly outdoor dining policy. No problem, it's up to me to decide if I want to dine there or not. But your dog does not need to go to Home Depot with you. A couple of recent examples:

I had to replace a wood blind. I had purchased them at Home Depot so I go back to get one, get to the blinds aisle and there is one customer there - with a massive Saint Bernard while he was yapping on the phone, obvious to anything, This dog was so big, I had to walk out of he aisle, down another, and back around to that same aisle because I couldn't get around it and the owner wasn't picking up on this because he was on the phone.

A guy was buying retaining wall stones and had a sled of them that he was dragging with all his might to the check-out line. A lady was walking her yippy dog on a retractable leash, not at all mindful of other shoppers and must have had a good 10-feet of slack on the leash. The poor guy with the stones had to stop his cart in his tracks like a conductor trying to stop a train. Lady didn't care.

In line at Lowe's last summer. Hot day so I have shorts on. Feel something strange.... that's because it's a dog licking my legs. The owner sees this is happening, makes no attempt to pull the dog away. I had to pull the "Do you MIND?" card and she seemed surprised I wasn't enjoying my bath.

Your dog will be perfectly fine at home for an hour or two while you hit the store, I promise.

I thought only service dogs / animals are allowed in most retail establishments? I know here you can’t bring any pet in any retail establishment that sells food ….. that’s part of the health code.

This state law…
  • Connecticut law, as defined by the Department of Public Health, prohibits dogs and other animals from being on the premises of licensed food service facilities.
  • This is a state law, not a local ordinance.
Click to expand...

Exemption for Service Animals:
  • An exemption to this rule allows guide dogs or assistance dogs accompanying individuals who are blind, deaf, or mobility impaired in dining areas.
  • Dogs accompanying individuals training such service dogs are also permitted.

In summary, while retail stores in Connecticut generally prohibit animals, there are specific health code regulations and exceptions in place, particularly for pet shops and service animals.

Service animals, specifically dogs and miniature horses trained to perform tasks for individuals with disabilities, are generally permitted in all areas where the public is allowed, including places with "no pets" policies. These animals must be individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of the person with a disability.

Miniature horses can provide a wide range of services for individuals with disabilities, including guiding visually impaired individuals, providing stability and balance, pulling wheelchairs, and alerting individuals to sounds. They can also be trained to fetch medication, offer comfort during anxiety or panic attacks, and alert and protect individuals during seizures.

Here's a more detailed look at the services they can perform:
  • Guiding:
    Miniature horses can be trained to guide visually impaired individuals, leading them around obstacles and through various environments.

  • Stability and Balance:
    They can provide a solid base for individuals to lean on, offering support and stability during dizzy spells or other times when balance is compromised.

  • Wheelchair Assistance:
    Miniature horses can be trained to pull wheelchairs, assisting individuals with mobility.

  • Alerting:
    They can be trained to alert individuals with hearing impairments to intruders or sounds.

  • Medical Assistance:
    They can fetch medication or other necessary items for individuals who cannot reach them themselves.

  • Emotional Support:
    Miniature horses can offer comfort and distraction during anxiety or panic attacks.

  • Seizure Protection:
    They can be trained to alert and protect individuals during seizures.

  • Navigation:
    They can help individuals navigate unfamiliar buildings or locations, especially during emergencies or challenging environments.
Miniature horses are recognized as service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To be considered a service animal, a miniature horse must be individually trained to perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, be housebroken, and be under the owner's control at all times.

I’m not saying they don’t, service animals as opposed to pets was my clarification . All service animals are trained to accommodate the person in need. It’s not my laws its my state laws. Hey my eldest girl, an Australian Shepherd, was suppose to be a service dog but she was to protective …. Service animals and support animals are amazing.

We have a land in New Hampshire that we left undeveloped so we could hunt, hike, ride quads …there are bears, coyotes all kind of wild life the first thing we trained her to do was if anyone was ever attacked she was to go home immediately and not try to save whomever and get help….shes very obedient

From my observation, employees don't want to have to enforce them and I don't blame them. It's a guaranteed confrontational experience waiting to happen.

That's why I tell these people to f*** off. It's on behalf of the employees. :coffee:

a lot of these halfwits take the dogs with them,then leave them locked in the car to die of heatstroke or cold while they run errands....🙄🙄🙄
 
Dog culture has gone crazy, especially since Covid.

Dogs in strollers? I thought the idea was to exercise your dog. 🙄

Dog gourmet food? I guarantee an animal that eats its own 💩 doesn't appreciate gourmet food! A fool and his money...💸

Fake service dogs? Same as an able-bodied person parking in a handicapped spot. 🙄

I’m talking strictly CT I can’t take a dog into any food related retail. I don’t take the girls into any stores including pet stores.

Well, everyone has their own preferences. For you, it's walking on horse apples.

As for me, I prefer walking on a freshly mown lawn strewn with rose petals.

We (actually Lynn, my wife) makes our dog food for Seamus and Sully. Ground beef, canned salmon, rice, broccoli, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, other ingredients I can't remember (chemo fog) and some sort of vitamin powder. They love it. It is more expensive than dry or canned food but it is better for them we are told. Our vet approves. I am interested to know what the PP resident veterinarian (@chevss454) thinks...

I like to post because of the overall sentiment of it, but I agree that animal food is another area that there's too much shit in the food.whether they appreciate the taste or not, I think it's great that people are willing to make the food from scratch without all that chemical stuff in it. as long as it has the nutrients the pet needs,that's the important thing.
 
More dog bringers today at the art show that explicitly prohibited bringing your dog. since there's no admission being charged no one even had a chance to stop them. these people that run these places never want to confront these dog bringers so the dog bringers just don't give a shit and just impose their dogs on everybody.
 
Your kid isn't perfect. No kid is perfect. If he starts throwing things at other adults at a birthday party, STOP HIM! Don't hand him another fork to throw!!! And if his uncles tells you to do something about it, don't act like he hates your kid or thinks he's a better parent than you, just DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! And if you don't like it, then LEAVE QUIETLY!!! Why ruin the day for everyone else, including the kid whose birthday party it is!?!? F*CK!!!!
