I said most not all. I was making a point that service dogs are important and should be allowed anywhere. So don't get all defensive!

Oh and all the service dogs I have seen have had on a vest they might not have to wear one but I have never seen one without it. I think they are a good idea because then you never have to wonder!

Like I said we can agree to disagree!

Once again...people don't read entire posts! Am I surprised? NOPE! Did I say I could be wrong? Yes. Please don't respond to me in the future without reading my entire post. I try to take everyone's info into consideration, and don't appreciate being "scolded" by YT people. I am not your child nor your dog. That's what's wrong with the computer...people can't just read and post opinions without getting on other people's cases. Well I'll tell you what...I have sat back and watched it happen to myself and YT friends. And, I'm not going to shut up anymore. If you don't like me and my opinions, that's fine. Don't respond to them. Easy as that. Some people have nothing better to do than to sit around on the computer and bash other people. Get over yourself. You are not perfect, and neither am I.

thanks for the infor. I will check it out.

I realize I am breaking rules but nothing can convince me that a dog zipped in a purse will hurt anyone. The hands and feet of most humans have more germs on them than my little dog. The diaper of the drooling infant sitting in the highchair in a restaurant is closer to food than my dog, sitting enclosed in my purse. Stores? Dirty kids touching fruit and vegetables then putting them back. ick. (my dog doesn't do that) And allergies? Anyone that is THAT allergic to dogs shouldn't go out in public b/c service dogs (legal) would kill them.

Most of my life I have been a rule follower. I am over 50 and I have never even been stopped by a cop. I actually go the speed limit. I don't steal, even my employer's time. Anyone on this website during business hours is probably breaking a rule. Harmless? Maybe.

That's the way I feel about taking my dog. She is totally harmless to everyone and no one even knows she is there. Except me. And her being there makes my life better and easier.

Am I breaking a rule? yup. do I care? not at all.

Do I think she is human? heck no. better than most.

I like this! A LOT!!!

I did not mean to get everyone all rialed up, my point was, I thought that, that guy was very childish to act the way he acted, 2 wrongs don't make a right, and if I jump off a bridge, are you going to follow me?? I agree with shelbysmom, I'm with you all the way, I will continue to take my girl where ever I want, she is small, clean and well mannered.
And unfortunally not all parents are as good as Brandy101B, I have seen my share of bratty kids and yes you can blame the parents, hell just last night we were into Kohls (no my Kloey was not with me LOL ) and my daughter was trying on clothes, and about 3 screaming little heathins were running around, looking under the doors of the dressing rooms and the parents just kept saying, "now don't do that" "now stop that" blah blah blah! Take the kid out to the car and whip his little hinney! I would never let my kid act like that in public. But we see it all the time. I went up to the serive lady who was straighting up the clothes and asked her, Cant we band kids like this? haha and she said she wishes LOL
This is a never ending subject, cause your right, if we were Paris Hilton we would be alowed to take are doggies where ever we desired.

i don't know if you got to read my response, but i wonder, seeing you with your yorkie, doesn't it imply to the other individual that dogs are allowed? and most dog owners i know, whether they be big dogs or small, would much rather have their dog with them while they casually shopped rather than stuck in a car why they shopped hurriedly. the other person may not have known that you were sneaking your yorkie into the store.

and just for the record, if you jumped off a bridge, i wouldn't followed. but if you were in line for free ice cream, i'd be right there in line as well.

[snickers mom]

wow there are alot of opinions on here...
mine is more of a comment to add more than my opinion
i am cautious with my little one as to where i take her when we leave the house... i would be less apt to take her to stores etc only in concern for her safety and the "what if" - for example we were in petsmart yesterday and there was woman with a wolf as the store personnal pointed out to me
i named her snickers because it was cute not becuase i wanted her to be a snack.. but because pets are allowed that means all pets are allowed... so i took that chance in bringing her... but its my preference to not take her places not a requirement i just know that if they let her in it opens the door for all kinds of pets that i may or may not want her around (much larger aggressive dogs/sick pets etc)

Well since I am the woman that "got all bent out of shape over the service dog with disabled persons" I thought I should respond. Until you have the honor of caring for or raising a child or adult with a disability don't tell me or anyone else for that matter to not get all defensive. That is my job as a mother, to defend my child. MOST kids and many of adults are just plain mean when it comes to people with disabilities and it is my right and job as a parent/mother to educate the ignorant people out there regarding my daughter's disabilities. I was only stating in my post that not all people that need service dogs look disabled and not all dogs need a vest. Maybe something to think about the next time you go to the store and see someone with a dog that you are not sure about. JMHO.

Baileys mom..well put girl..i totally agree and amend you for it..

I think everyone has a right to their own opinion..what bothers me is to hear (read) people talk so highly of their dogs yet they bash lil kids in a supermarket or drooling in a high chair. For the love of pete these are little children you are talking against. I'm sorry but I hope to never run across a little baby (dirty or not) and think thats disgusting..I am extremely particular about my kids and cleanliness as well as with my animals..but i've never ran across a pet or a child and been grossed out because that animal or child is filthy..it isn't their fault it's the parents and the owners. Have some compassion for human kind.
Also i'm not bashing any of you i'm sure you didn't mean it to sound like that .

Personally, bringing your dog into a store where I am is no biggie. I don't think it's right, but I also don't really care. I don't think that this topic is worth going to war over. We should have some sort of drinking fest when this is all over.

I think it is a lot like the other small little rule breaks that others have mentioned, like speeding or sneaking candy into a movie theatre. We have all done it, but the point of "we all break rules" does not justify at all the breaking of another rule. Maybe we'll get in trouble for it. Maybe we won't. But we can't argue about it on principle that we aren't doing anything that can hurt somebody else. I speed about 7 mph over the speed limit (sorta the gold standard), but if a cop stops me, I don't start arguing with him about how its late and there are no cars out and in this case it is okay. If I was caught by a movie theatre trying to sneak in candy and got kicked out, I'd probably be muttering about how I can't afford 10 dollar popcorn as I left, but I couldn't argue with them on principle about their right to make the rules. I don't have a right to speed, and I don't have a right to sneak things into someone's place of business, and I don't have a right to take my dog into places that they aren't allowed.

In a practical sense, chances are that you speeding or you sneaking your dog into stores will never ever hurt anyone or cause someone to be really uncomfortable. But if it ever does, or a store gets in trouble because of you, you have to be the one to say "yes, it was my fault," because you should accept the responsibility of your own actions.

Take care, everyone.

Dan

ps-try not to let yourselves get combative, ladies. take a deep breath and go play with your dog, because nothing gets accomplished once we just start going after each other, especially about tangents

Thank you for that and I am crying as I write this. Happy tears because you understand what I am trying to say (and hopefuly others do too) and sad tears that I had to make such a post. I don't want to get off topic here, I just wanted to say thank you!

[Tashasmom]

Baileys..bless your heart. I know it's hard and you and I"m sorry for you and your daughter that you have to battle so much. God bless you and your daughter.

Ladies I'm sorry if i said anything to offend..I came here to learn and hopefully maybe help someone along the way. I don't want to fight with anyone and I hope no one wants to fight with me.

I don't think the girl that started this forum meant for it to get so way out of hand. I think she just needed to vent to us. I hope everyone has a nice day.

Hello! I'm holding a 6 pound dog, that has a diaper on, and he walks his dog in on a leash!
I wanted to say to him, If I jump off a brige, are you going to follow me!
Some people, I swear!

Some people really are dumb! Just trying to be a smart a$s

You know what? I don't think you have to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong by posting your opinions. It's how people try to criticize others on here that's the problem. It wasn't your fault that I got upset/riled up/etc., it's how people respond to me that gets annoying. I'm sorry If I upset you! Forgive me?
