YT 500 Club Member | Need to vent! Ok so went to Home Depot & like always Ruger went too. I'm standing at the very end of an aile with 2 Home Depot employees making a fuss over Ruger. Ruger was on his leash standing right next to me. Here comes an older lady, (now I'm old too 61 years young), with every gray hair in place, nice clothing. Now she came from the other end & I'm sure she saw all of us. She could have made a choice to turn around and NOT walk past us. As she approached she pointed her finger at the 2 employees and said, "you two shouldn't encourage this, some people are allergic." She didn't stop, but on her way past us I said, "Not with Yorkies, they are hypoallergenic." She was a few feet away and never looked back, but she flipped me off and said' "Screw You" Really there is enough meanness in this world, don't need to bring our Baby's into it. The 2 employees agreed she was a mean ol' lady. Hey everyone lets be nice. Life is too short.

| How sad. Some people are a$$holes. It is not a grocery store. I bet she smokes and wears perfume too. Argh. Yes, life is too short for people like that. I suppose the best thing we can do (instead of feeling grumpy about it like I am and catching that ladies grumpy bug all the way across the big wide Internet) is think of how sad and miserable she must be. How unhappy a person like that has to be to spit such venom, to feel sorry for her and the pain and misery she carries around in her heart and wish that she had a yorkie to cure her of her grumpy ails. Choosing compassion for her pain, self chosen or not, and praying for her healing, using her behavior as a reminder of how I want to live my own life and how I need to behave is probably the best thing to do here. I wish her healing and I pray for the protection of whomever she has spat her wrath upon that instead of soaking her illness in their own heart that they used her vile attitude and behavior as a lesson in kindness and compassion and I will choose to do the same. Okay, whew. Really worked me up there for a second. Sorry you had to deal with that!

| Oh wow...... "mean ol' lady" is way too nice to call her. If she's so concerned about allergies for herself and/or others, perhaps she should promote travelling in a bubble! |

There can be a lot of miserable people of there. And then there are the supremely miserable people who want you to feel their misery. I do truly feel sorry for them. I mean, sometimes I get angry too. We're all human. But! Happiness is a choice. If she chooses to be miserable, then...to each their own. My 'mantra' is, just be happy with your own self and own life and that's all we can do P.S. Shicks, I've heard my fair share of nasty words from dog haters (and haters in general) lol so I can very much sympathize with your vent! Seriously, what mentally stable person could hate on Ruger!

| I can understand some of the angst of people, as there are those who don't control/train/mind their dogs. I'm not saying this is one of those situations, but just that some people have had bad experiences. Yes, she could have avoided the aisle and should have if she felt so strongly. I can also understand an owner not wanting to leave their dog home, but sometimes it's for the best. I've been bitten twice by uncontrolled dogs and it sucks. My wife was clamped on by a pit bull, but thankfully it released her quickly and there was no blood. I'm a bit leery of dogs that I don't know, but that doesn't mean I don't love the ones I know. I carry pepper spray on walks and unfortunately have had to use it twice as loose and aggressive attitude dogs approached me. I don't know you and I don't know your dog, but I do know there are some very irresponsible owners out there that don't mind their dogs and think everyone should accommodate them. I was also unaware that stores in general allow non service pets to enter (other than pet stores, I get that). I know I've seen signs that say 'service dogs only' and I have to believe it is for some of the reasons I've stated. I'm not saying the OP is wrong or right, just trying to present another perspective. However, the lady being discourteous was uncalled for. If she felt that strongly, she should have talked to management. |

| And though not easy when someone literally goes out of their way to be mean and rude, think of all the smiles and moments of sheer joy, Ruger (and you) have given so many during your outings! These are the people who matter and count...Home Depot lady may be dismissed and forgotten, thank you very much! |

| I was at the gas station one time with my Chinese Crested. (she is a true hairless only has hair on her head ) I went into get a couple thing and when I came out this lady ask if I saw the ugly dog in the car I said no and she pointed at my dog.. I said that's my dog and you obviously don't own a mirror. I walked away and got in my car , she stood there with a stupid look on her face, |
