I realize I might not be in the majority, but if you can't make your dog be quiet and not sniff and pester me while I'm waiting in line, leave the dang thing at home. It's bad enough everything 2 feet and below is tractor supply has probably been peed on too.

Ugly dog, ugly woman, not a good combo.

Took my dog to tractor supply yesterday and to Lowes today. Don't care who likes it or don't like it. But then I'm a reasonably good looking fellow and my dog is better behaved than most children and phucking gorgeous.

Nobody loves dogs more than me, but I think its absolutely the most dumbassed thing possible to take your dog to the damn store with you !!!

Yes

I had a career of dealing with enemy dogs and training with Military working dogs. I don’t tolerate nor respect people and their mutts that let them make unsolicited contact with humans. I’ve killed so many I should have a recipe book.

I don’t believe in Support animals either to include former military pansies that claim they need such for stupid PTSD.

Wheres the respect for a front line soldier that has PTSD because of dogs ?

My last encounter was here in Texas and my response was automatic and very ugly. I was sitting in outside seating at a restaurant with my granddaughter and wife, some yahoo walks up with a shepherd mix and it snatches a stuffed animal from my granddaughter…IT WON’T DO THAT AGAIN AND NEITHER WILL THE OWNER!

Was sitting in a seafood restaurant a few weeks ago when a group of 7-8 came in with a dog that stunk to high heaven
No collar No leash just stink
The manager told them they’d have to remove the dog or leave altogether
There was a huge scene and a lot of cussing
It was absolute stupidity on the dog owner for bringing it in a restaurant

I feel the same way about kids and most people.

I also agree with this

Liberals at heart tend to humanize animals as we can see is developing here…Closet Biden Supporters

Sitting outside at GSP campground right now with my well behaved dog beside me. In the next site over there is a really large group of hindu type people with 3 dogs and one of them hasn't shut up for I guess about an hour, until just a few moments ago when I said a few words. It magically shut up. I guess I'll see how long it lasts.

Like during covid, the FDA had guidances for pets but the liberals ignored that but gave folk hell for not masking. I kicked the piss outta more than one pet that approached me during this time frame.

The guidance was “pets carry covid and they should not come in contact with other pets or humans outside a household”

Its a mental illness !

In a public place (if allowed), keep it on a leash and under control. Your property, do as you please. Simple.

Lot of “do as you please” dog bites in restaurants and the restaurant and the dog owner deserve everything they will reap from me.

I like the 300lb women in wal mart scooters riding their bitch around priceless

Every woman I have seen with a dog indoors a public has been ugly. Keep your damn dog at home.or in the car nobody wants them sniffing them and drooling on them

We have taken 3 of our 4 dogs out in public at one time or another and the dog trainer that we have used actually takes all the dogs she trains to Tractor Supply at some point to work with them on behavior in such a place.

We have taken ours on road trips, too. It is vastly easier when I have someone else with me because in the summer someone just stays with the vehicle while the other goes inside to the bathroom, etc. and we generally hit the drive-thru places for food. When I am by myself and it is summer time then I always wait until their is a spot under the canopy in the shade at the gas pump, crack the windows and open the sun roof and hope that there is not a long line for the bathroom when I run in to use the facilities and grab a drink and a snack. There are plenty of places that I would not take my dogs in with me as they are standard poodles and I know that not everyone would appreciate me taking them in, but I do worry about Debbie Do-Gooder turning me in for animal cruelty in the summer time because of the heat. For years I drove a vehicle that could not be locked from the outside if it was running which was great for preventing you from locking your keys inside it, but not so great for being able to leave the air conditioning on for your pets while also preventing someone from jumping inside and stealing the vehicle.

All that being said, I do stay at pet friendly hotels if I stop anywhere on a road trip, but even they tell you to not leave your pets unattended, so you have to take them with you if you leave the hotel (and frankly even left in a crate, I would be concerned that someone might still come in the room to tidy up and do something they shouldn't to them). I generally have no issue with folks bringing their dogs with them to anything that is outside, including to a restaurant with outside dining as long as the dog is well behaved (sits or lays quietly beside the chair or under the table). Even as tolerant as I am of dogs, I am still not terribly keen on dogs being inside a restaurant or a grocery store (especially those breeds which shed). But, I am not going to cause a scene over it either.

But as far as pet stores go (PetSmart, Petco, PetSense), Tractor Supply, Lowes and Home Depot are all cool with me to encounter dogs, preferably well behaved.

As for dogs being used to help with PTSD, I personally have no issue with it. I am just grateful that I have not had any experience that has left me with that to deal with. But what works for one person doesn't always work for another and at least these veterans have sought help to deal with it instead of trying to handle it on their own and making terrible decisions.

But you, Mr. Loco, are the biggest reason that I actively try to prevent my dogs from going up to anyone that I don't know even though they are just curious and friendly because I don't know what a stranger's background and experience with dogs has been.

I am also not a fan of people who just let their kids come running up to my dogs because while mine are not at all aggressive, those parents don't know that. Now, when I hear a child asking the parent if they can pet one of my dogs and the parents tells them that they have to ask first, then I will have mine sit first and tell the kid that they can.

Raven is more well mannered and definitely way more intelligent then most people. She a pleasure around other people and dogs. BUT I will never ever bring her into a public place or anywhere people gather. I’m afraid some of those people will dumb her down some. Heck I got buddies that do a good enough job at that.

Dogs in public places especially food places, ain’t civilized.

And when it comes to calling another GI a pansy for needing a support animal, I am qualified to call the kettle black.

The only exception I make is for the blind

Vaxxed Liberal pet owning Karens are disease super spreaders !

And if you are a dude and need your support animal…You are a Karen too.
