As for entitlement attitude I totally agree. If the store says NO DOGS or you are told to take the dog outside then LISTEN don't back talk and mouth off. It's their rules and policies. You wouldn't ask to break the law for a child so why break the rules of the store for a DOG???
Take em' everywhere you can but leave em' at home with a pet sitter or another puppy friend when you know that you can't take them into a store.   |
A lot of you are taking this statement way out of the context in which I meant it to be. LET ME REPHRASE IT HOW I MEANT IT:
I feel bad/sorry for people that want to have human children but are unable to do so. It's a sad thing to want a child and not be able to have one. PAUSE THERE....then read on to the next thought which was....sometimes people in these situations choose to have dogs rather than choose to adopt children. I totally understand and agree with people doing this because yes adoption can be expensive and a long process and dogs can bring the joy that children bring when children are not an option or even a desire sometimes for some people.
That entire sentence was not meant to flow into one long thought as it seemed like it did. It was not meant to mean that I feel sorry for people who choose dogs OVER adopting children. It was meant that I feel bad for people trying desperately to have a child and can't for whatever reasons AND that often times those people will get a dog INSTEAD of adopting/surrgogacy/other forms of having human children.
I hope that makes more sense to everyone so you stop freaking out over a misunderstood statement.
I still stand by the fact that dogs are not people so for the argument that they should be allowed in a store that doesn't allow them just because they are "like" children to a person isn't a valid excuse since currently the rules do not include those types of situations.
