People who bring their dogs into stores, can we have a truce?
You love your dog. You love bringing little Luna or Mason the to grocery store, nail salon, Starbucks, and other public places. No matter what. Doesn't matter if dogs are allowed.
I also love my dog, she's awesome! She's my baby. She's my life. She's also a big friendly girl who loves to get up in everyone's business, but I can understand that's not for everyone.
Regardless of how big or small our canine friends may be, not everyone is a dog lover for whatever their reasons are (allergies, traumatic experiences, etc.) that's okay. I don't need to subject them to my dog, or see my wonderful dog have her own adverse experience.
Also grocery stores? Yuck! Again, I love my girl but don't want her to shed all over the produce.
So can we compromise? Can you just leave your fur child in the car like I do? Preferably when it's not too hot or cold, with the windows cracked, and after a potty and water break.
Otherwise, keep your dog at home. Please and thank you.
*Obviously this excludes service dogs! And no, emotional support dogs are not the same.*
