She gets treats, walks, played with, groomed, new toys regularly, and paid attention to constantly.
I may not have the same ideas as you do about what a dog's life should be, but that doesn't mean I'm not dog friendly or my dog would have a sad life because of it. |
I love my dogs, but I also do not take them out with me except to the pet store on occasion. I already have a 3 year old to lug around with me everywhere I go, take 2 dogs with me is not my idea of fun. I also do not "go out" very often so they are not usually left alone for long hours and I don't work, but if I had to be out they would have to stay home. I also think people like us with small dogs think it's okay to take our dogs everywhere we go because they are so small and can be carried, but what about people with large dogs like Pit Bulls or Great Dane. They can't carry their dogs around and take them everywhere so does that me their not dog friendly.
