I have a problem with women who find it necessary to bring their dog along on their shopping extravaganzas. Just this week I have encountered 9 of the pampered pooches riding along in handbags.
I have come to a few of my own conclusions:
1. The dog is not potty trained and the owner doesn't want to take the time to train it properly.
2. The owner is looking for attention.
3. The owner believes she will be mistaken for a celebrity.
4. The owner is too old to carry a Barbie doll, so who else would wear a rhinestone tiara with a pink furry coat but the little dog?
5. The owner believes that those signs on the doors of stores saying "no dogs, with exception to seeing-eye dogs" really doesn't apply to them.
I was even shopping at a Brighton store and a woman had a rabbit in her purse. What? Was the pet store out of little dogs?
I was at Nordstrom's cafe, and a teenaged girl had a dog in her bag. I asked her if she could please take her dog outdoors, as it was a health code violation. She snapped at me, said a few choice four letter words, and closed her eyes. (if I can't see you, you're not there)
The manager then threw her out, along with the little dog. (thank goodness!)
Why oh why are people doing this?
