Live and let live. It's not cancer. Nor the end of the earth or a REAL danger. I don't like a lot of things but realize that most people don't care. I keep it to myself. We can't all have the world run the way we like it.

Gracie, I love animals and especially dogs. I don't have one now, but when I did it had to be a dog that doesn't shed because of allergies. It may not be cancer, but a shedding dog sitting next to me in a restaurant would make me very uncomfortable. I would have a runny nose and itchy burning eyes for a day or two afterward.
