HONESTLY -- AS A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL -- I am aghast at the way a lot of people in The Village just can't seem to leave their dogs at home. It is just not healthy to expose unsuspecting people to dogs which they may not like -- may be afraid of -- may be allergic to -- as for myself -- I believe that all the dogs -- even in the squares -- are just too too too much dog hair overload. And I believe you are not doing your pets any favors dragging them out to social functions -- if you can't bear to be parted from them -- then it would be my suggestion that you stay home. I worked in Neonatal Intensive Care Units for years -- if you seriously need to canoodle with a small being -- then I suggest you go to the nearest ICU and cuddle some babies and also to donate some of the money that you spend on all the riduculous doggy carriages to buy human baby strollers. Call me a Hater if you must -- but -- I love human beings not necessarily canines and would love to not have them sniffing at my feet in social settings -- keep the pets at home or on long nature walks -- not everyone is thrilled to see them.
