Some children and adults need to stay home too. [/quote]

Not this dumb comment again. Stores are meant for people, not dogs. Dogs will never be equal or more important than people. People don't squat and pee on the floor in the store. If they did, they'd be arrested and removed. Keep your nasty, peeing dog at home. [/quote]

I've already said no stores for this dog, but to play devil's advocate a bit, the two stores listed (pet store and hardware) both allow dogs. The dog wasn't in a Blue Mercury or Nordstrom or grocery store or something. Pet stores are probably never going to say, "our stores are meant for people, not dogs" because...they’re kinda meant for dogs. [/quote]

I'm assuming they also do not want a dog marking his territory in their pet store.[/quote]

No one WANTS it but I'm sure it happens all the time and there's a bit of a ripple effect due to how marking works. So this dog shouldn't go now that OP knows it's a possibilty, but a bunch of people here are worked up into a lather that any dog at all should ever be in any store ever and that's kind of disingenuous when talking aboit pet friendly spaces.[/quote]

You're missing the point which is that people DO bring dogs in stores where they are absolutely not welcome. It's a problem and the more people are aware that their dogs don't belong in every setting, the better.[/quote]

I'm not missing the point at all. There is a whole other active thread right now on exactly that. That point is a derailment from OPs question about her dog so going off on OP about people bringing dogs into grocery stores and raking the OP over the coals for someone else's poor behavior is off topic. Going from, "my dog peed at petco" to "a pitball mauled someone at Miss Pixies!" Is completely moving the goalposts. [/quote]

Where in her OP did she indicate that she ONLY takes her dog to those stores? And I would argue that a harware store is meant for pets, either. [/quote]
