10-20 years ago I always took my little Ginger with me everywhere. I never even gave a thought of leaving her in the car when I went into the grocery store or someplace like that for a few minutes.
Now after hearing stories of theft of small dogs, I am afraid to even leave them in the car for a minute! When we travel and stop for gas, one of us is in the car. If we make a quick stop for fast food, we park facing the building and sit right where we can see them in the car.
Isn't is sad that society has become like this? Who would have thought that people could think of taking a dog from their family.
I remember a post a while back about a home service call worker making the home owner feel uncomfortable, asking personal questions about her yorkie.
I think if I have a service call now, I will make sure that my dogs will be in a closed off room, and my DH will either be with me. I don't think I even feel comfortable anymore being alone with a service man coming in.
Granted, not that he would 'want' me, but might hurt me getting to my yorkies, or our valuables. You just don't know anymore. Maybe I am just getting old and 'funny'!
