...at a time where I know I won't be the only one there. I typically avoid the crowds but today I threw my rule out.
First thing I see when I walk in is a little brother and sister going through all the dog clothes. They've got this teeny tiny chihuahua with them, probably too young to be from its mother. It was smaller than Flash's head was at 9 weeks old, I kid you not. The sister carried it like a rag doll most of the time, afterall you can't expect a 7ish year old to be as gentle with a puppy as one should be. No parents in site. She's about to have a fit in the middle of the store because all the clothes are too big for the puppy. When she does part with the puppy, she puts it in a pile of blankets in the middle of the floor. The puppy is shaking uncontrolably and can't stand. It tries but it's legs just can't do it, it sort of stands with its legs all sprawled out.
Then I run into the english bulldog that pees in the store. Owners think it's funny, do nothing to clean it despite standing RIGHT NEXT TO one of those cleaning stations. At that point I made it a mission to keep my eyes off all dogs in the store. That would have worked if people actually let dogs walk these days. But Precious must be carried everywhere. And Precious must have her own bag to sit in. And Precious must have puppies and said puppies must accompany Precious to petsmart in the carrying bag. And everyone must make a fuss over Precious and the puppies.
And as I'm leaving there's a vizsla mix looking dog with a gentle leader on. No problem except the owner was yanking the dog around with the gentle leader. I suppose their next stop was a dog chiropractor.
