OT: Another Reason I Shop At Lowe’s Instead Of Home Depot

The problem is that everyone thinks their dog is good and they are responsible pet owners. Far from reality.

Absolutely right.

Same with kids, driving, etc.  We need community tribunals to address this.

Should we be asking ......should the dogs be trained to read “no pets allowed” signs? Don’t they have some accountability is this debate?

Some may not self-identify as pets, so putting that label on them may be offensive.

My dog eats feces.  She’s got personality, but she’s dumber than a bag of hammers and eats feces.

I think if your puppers graduates from PetSmart puppy school with honors they should be able to go where ever they please.

Sure, always attacking the home-schoolers.

I’ve heard this phrase, but I’ve never actually seen a bag of hammers. Is this a really a thing?

as useless as a bag of broken hammers

I think it is wrong to always blame the owner. I have tried really hard to train my dog, but he is just kind of an @$$hole. Sometimes dogs are just kind of @$$holes.

I'm joking of course (well, sort of).

We have a neighbor who has a pig as a pet. My dog is always trying to pull me over to the area where he craps. I have to imagine that it’s feces must taste like bacon.

Well, they are just a little bit socially awkward.  Only the best allowed in our big box stores.  MAKE BIG BOX STORES GREAT AGAIN!!!

I own a car dealership and at least once a week someone brings their dog. To a car dealership. Even had one lady want to take the dog with her on a test drive. We pretty much don't mind the dogs up till that point.

But don't try and bring the dog into the waiting room with other customers and surely don't attempt to bring your dog into a brand new car on a test drive.

Hey son.  Son!  Listen while I’m talkin’ to ya boy!

I try to avoid kids and dogs.  Am I wrong?

I'm guessing you aren't a Subaru dealer.  I don't drive a Subaru, but their adds with dogs are brilliant (IMO, as I have gleaned from this thread)

A Subaru owner myself. Our local Subaru dealer recently hosted a bark in the park in our biggest city.  They are very active in our community. They have ambassadors that hand out things on impulse to Subaru owners out and about town. We were given a pet toy......My dog buried this one (not very well).

I mentioned in @DoubleEgger post on Olive oil, about my experiences during brief stays in Europe regarding dogs in public places.

I am not aware of any of the rules regarding this, meaning that to me they are unknown, and not meaning that they do not exist.

That said, in Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, The Netherlands, as well as others, it was fairly common to see dogs in the restaurants, lying at their owner's feet. (Not on the menu).

There were no signs posted, communicating bans or welcomes, it just seemed like a natural event.

I will also add, these were not fast food joints, and the restaurants all enjoyed a very fine reputation, including recognitions such as multie diamond winners.

I ate at an upscale Brazilian steakhouse in Amsterdam some years back.  Halfway through my meal, a black and white cat came strolling into the restaurant behind some people who had just left.  Apparently, he belonged to the cook and had been missing for a year.  The waitress pet him and then carried him to the back, where the cook also handled him in the kitchen.  Luckily I had already gotten my steak.  I didn't think too badly of it, as I'm sure the cook was happy the cat had returned after all that time, but I did not order dessert.

So many entitled dog owners that can’t even understand why they can’t bring their dog when there’s a no dog sign. This thread just proves how ridiculous you people are. Yeah a lot of things are gross but we don’t have a choice we can’t avoid them but we can avoid your gross dog by choosing to go to a store with a no dogs allowed rule. Oh wait no we can’t cause this is your world. Screw people with allergies or small children that are afraid of them cause you want to take your smelly nasty dog out shopping with you. I wish HD had a no dumbass sign and they enforced it then they wouldn’t need the no dogs sign.
