I'm thinking that the dog's butt might not be the worse thing to sit in that basket... especially in Walmart

I'll also freely admit that I like my dog better than most of the people I meet...

Agreed! Google “walmartian” and see what comes up.

As far as attention, yes, they crave attention. When people tell me their dog is afraid of such and such, it’s code for they are afraid of it. People Chanel way to much into their dogs. Yes they are a great companion and life without them is to me pretty boring, but end of the day, they can’t tell time. They pretty much accept their situation, and trust me, my hound dog would leave me to head home with anyone with a meal.

We are with Javi. Our dogs are smarter and have better manners than most people. If they spoke English and had thumbs, would send them to school. However they still stay either in the RV or the truck when we are out.

I almost hurled today as the checker at Safeway rubbed his runny nose 10-15 times while bagging my groceries.

My pups aren’t perfect, but we work with them constantly to be good and quiet.
We have 4 dogs and own a Boarding/Daycare as well. I see posts about not liking to see dogs at restaurants? In my 41 years, I've never seen a dog at a restaurant. We take 2 camping with us every time we go. They are just as well behaved as our children.

What about a well behaved, harness trained cat?

In the last couple years we've seen several. In most of the cases it was to dog proof their site, if a dog came within leash length they suffered the cats wrath, regardless of the dogs size. Kind of comical to watch.

even more comical is the questions I get about my cat on a leash.

I'm sitting in the truck with Roscoe while my wife shops. He has no business in most stores, not even most pet friendly stores.
On the other hand he is better behaved and cleaner than many, probably most, rugrats people call children. If I see a dog in a restaurant I'll most often find another place to eat.

We've had our boys with us at an outside dining restaurant at lunch. The laid at our feet and slept. Would not do that at dinner. Would never consider taking them inside for any reason.

I'm sorry you have had some bad experiences with other's pets, but please don't lump all pet owners into the same category.
Here, here, Xrated! My pets DO belong with me camping and our 4th of July Campout is specifically to get them away from all the Fireworks in town. This post exactly voices my thoughts. It's not bad pets. It's bad owners.

I actually prefer cats to dogs and I respect that you keep your cat on a leash.
But last year while travelling from Atlanta to Oshkosh, I noticed a distinct lack of wildlife in most of the parks we stayed at. After seeing numerous campers with pets, I wondered whether the presence of cats and dogs in the parks contributed to the wildlife giving the parks a wide berth.
It certainly was the case in the John James Audubon park when I was trying to video a squirrel and a cardinal and the neighbors little yapster came rushing up barking and chasing everything it saw. The owner apologised profusely for the intrusion, but it would have been better if he had controlled yapster in the first place, and better yet if yapster hadn't been there at all.

Went into the little neighborhood IGA store this morning & this sign was posted at the door & at the register. Good for them!!
Edit; Sorry can't read the sign, but it states no pets allowed unless certified, registered service animals.

Thank you DocWMB.....what I wrote just seems like common sense to me, but then again, I give a lot of credit to my parents for raising me properly and I'm thankful that I was born with or acquired some common sense.

you could easily sub in kids as well as dogs. There are great parents with great kids, and there are great pet owners with great pets. I think the real problem we can all agree on are the idiots.

We are the owners of 4 fur babies. I agree that animals should not be permitted in grocery stores, restaurants, or bars other than service animals. Having said that, when it comes to camping in campgrounds at least 70% of campers have at least 1 pet with them, even in million dollar plus motorhomes. Our fur babies are for our enjoyment and we do not allow them to cause disturbances and we clean up after them always. But for those who cannot tolerate dogs in campgrounds they should find campgrounds that are not animal friendly or sell their toys and find another interest. We are not going to stop taking our fur babies camping with us and the reason is not that we crave grumpy people's attention, it is because we enjoy our babies. And if we choose to call ourselves Mommy & Daddy to our fur babies, I don't recall asking for permission. Have a great day.

I resent that remark about not having any business in stores.... Lol

“Google “walmartian” and see what comes up.”

No please. I see enough in our local Walmart.

I do have to admit the thought has crossed my mind a few times when people and pets have been particularly yucky in the local Wally World, I have been tempted to bring our miniature horse in, just to irritate said pet people. But, then I realize I was raised better and there’s no point stooping to their level...must be why I also wear real clothes into Walmart too.
