That's why I don't like to deal with the public...too many attitudes. We have our own business and have to deal with whatever walks in the door. Most people are very kind, but it only takes one person to ruin my day.

Sounds like my ex. He hated dogs and dog people except for his dog. Whatever issues he had never applied to his dog.

Maybe it's because Stella and I have *bonded* via BPO.
Maybe it's because NO ONE needs to act like that smart *ss little twit, and most assuredly NOT in a PET FRIENDLY PETSMART...but MY blood feels like it's been boiling in a cauldron!

That lady was a RAGING *ITCH, and Stella, you are the REIGNING kick*ss QUEEN! You go girl!

 :-* I LOVE YOU    :-*

"Lady," says I "it's a pet store, not f'ing Macy's. Get over it. And be smart, and get out of my face before the dogs are the least of your trouble."

And this is why Stella Rocks!!  I wish I had the nerve to say stuff like that to some of the people I meet.


Agreed very much so, maybe next time I get tude from someone because of having Gage out in public I will return the favor. 

I had some lady tell me off for walking him, leashed mind you, on the grass by some playground equipment in a campground.  Same thing "dogs should NOT be in this area
"  :o  WHat area, the outside ???

When, we bring Mya to Tractor Supply or Petco, there are people that are scared to death of her but, the manager at Tractor Supply LOVES Mya. When she was a younger people would come up to her and be like, what a cute puppy! Now, since she is getting older(8 months now), people are starting to become afraid of her.  :( Except, Mya is a pit bull not a Great Dane. But, that just comes with owning the breed, and you just have to prove them otherwise.

"They shouldn't even be here." She was so mad that her teeth were clenched, and all the tendons were standing out in her neck. Poor Cattabrie was trying to hide behind my legs, rage was coming of this whacko in waves and Brie was scared to death.
"Lady," says I "it's a pet store, not f'ing Macy's. Get over it. And be smart, and get out of my face before the dogs are the least of your trouble."
Her mouth dropped open and she stormed off. We bought the fish and went home. What a sow! Can you imagine berating someone for having dogs in a pet store???

I think I love you.  ;D 

WTF is she talking about? One of the JOYS of places like PetSmart is that you can take your dog in with you!!! If she doesn't like dogs, she should stick to shopping for her pet (cat?) supplies at freaken Target or WalMart where she won't encounter any!

And she’d best not try to shop for her preppy garb at Niemen Marcus. There are dogs all over that store, LOL!

Yep. The ones I love are the people who fall in love with your Pit's charming personality and adorable ears (the two things that ALWAYS got mentioned about my girl), and then recoil when you tell them what breed the dog is. Ok, 5 minutes ago you were giving her kisses and telling me how you just had to get a dog just like her for your kids. It's the SAME dog.

I loved the fact that my girl was an ambassador for her breed (ok, she was a Staffie, but when people who fell in love wanted to know what she was I always said Pitt, cause it's basically the same dog and lord knows those babies can use the good press). I even convinced a Highway Patrolman to get one after he met Dorr when my car broke down. He stayed with us for an hour waiting for the towtruck, playing fetch with her the whole time (after climbing through a fence into the nearby field, LOL!).

Explains why she is a "fish" person. She can relate.. cold-blooded, slimy, scaley, etc.

What a knob! I have no tolerance for people like that either.

My local pet store allows pets in their store. I've even taken our Ferret in there. :D But we had a similar situation last year. I had Bubba with me. This store is small and well yeah Bubba does take up most of the isle. I saw someone coming up the isle we were standing in so I moved Bubba completely out of the isle. She stopped right in front of me and said "You should have left him at home, he's too big to be in here" The first words out of my mouth were "Excuse me?! Then the store owner stepped in before I could say anything else. LOL She basically said that pets of all sizes are welcome in her store. She glared at me and then walked out of the store shaking her head. We all had a good laugh.

Now I could see her saying something if I had of just stood there and made her squeeze past us. But I moved him.. Geez!

Blatent sizeists! I SOOOOOOOO want to walk into Niemen Marcus with Clancy and see what they do. There are women with oopsie-poosies ALL OVER that store, but I bet they'd FREAK if I took my boy in. *insert evil grin here*

She's about 30, dressed all peppy and she is looking at us with this nasty "I just sucked a lemon and it was rotton"
 :) I started to see where this was going :)

"You can just walk by," Says I, "they won't come bother you." I thought maybe she was afraid.

 ;)A valid consideration ;)


"Lady," says I "it's a pet store, not f'ing Macy's.
 ;D Seriously laughing my @$$ off at this point, I can just imagine her pompus expression ;D

 Can you imagine berating someone for having dogs in a pet store???
 >:( People are idiots >:(

 They probably wieghed more by the time we left, because the associates kept giving them treats through the store and while we waited to check out, LOL.

 :D Did they know about the lady?  :D

The mall here is pet friendly but you only see those little pocket dogs there. I take Chammie and Jackie sometimes. The sales people always look shocked when you bring them into the dressing rooms. I mean, they aren't as big as most of the pups on here but they take up (especially Chammie) significant room in the dressing room. It's so fun.

Wow, I would love a pet friendly mall!  So far I've only seen pets in the actual pet stores........ .but then I don't get out much.  ::)  ;)

That must have been the same lady I daw the other day. OMG DH thought she had a mental problem. We were looking at dogs toys and treats. She was there before us and saying to us how bad it is for the cows, chickens and pigs. I very nicely asked her what she thought was in her cat food, chicken! She said no it is hairball remedy. Ummm huh? in the end she was yelling don't touch me (we never touched her) and stay away we don't know anything. We were laughing so hard as she practically ran away.
