| Took boobah with me to Petco and While I was at Petco with Boobah, (I've had her for 4 weeks) I was looking for some bully sticks. This lady had this dog, looked like a collie mix, but anyway, the dog lunged at us. Boobah started to bark at him, she's not afraid of nothing. But good thing, I had a stronghold on her. She would have been mincemeat for that dog. Lol...

| People who have dogs that might 'lunge' should not take them there. It's dangerous.

| Lacy is almost always friendly with other dogs when she is on the ground and gets to meet them up close. If she is on her leash and doesn't get to say hi though she barks and whines like crazy..she gets mad that she doesn't get to say hi. She's really bad though if I'm holding her...if she sees another dog below us or someone holds another dog up to her while I'm holding her she will growl at them. So she's only allowed to meet other dogs on the ground without me holding her. I think she does this because she thinks she has to protect me or something

| I worry about dogs lunging too. It would only take one bite to kill or badly injure one of our precious Yorkie babies. Ziggy loves Petco..but still I worry and am always watching for danger. He also loves to go for walks and there is a German Shepherd in my neighborhood that is always jumping over his fence. Now I carry a cane and pray that I don't have to use it.

| Last time I was in Petco was as I was preparing to get my lil Izzie. I observed two dogs who definately did not like each other and another dog who decided to relieve himself right on the floor by the checkout stand. It of course took the employees a bit of time before they proceded to clean up the piddle....needless to say I am not extremely pleased with the Petco in my area nor it's employees......I don't mind purchasing from them online, but I don't think I will ever take my lil baby into this store....
