and you did 3 miles over the speed limit. ya know I got this mail today saying "Compliance Services" from no less than Capitol Circle, Tallahassee.
I'm SWEATING BULLETS. Now what did I NOT do or do, what do I have to do and how much is it gonna cost.
The letter said my business must have annual meetings with notes. AND THIS ORGANIZATION IS NOT A GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION, and send us $125 with your annual report.

LOL, gang, I'm looking for every chance I get to enjoy the moments of my day. some things are worth getting up about and some just aren't. God grant me the wisdom...

I never knew Walmart shoppers standards were so high.
I would not let my dog walk into that parade of human debris.
If you are not wiping the push bar on the carts with bleach, you are just looking for a infection.

cisco, when you get here, we can have some laughs.
on topic, I'm glad there aren't any geese at Brownwood, but the white pelicans are splendid and worth a ride to look. right beside the bronze bull and co.

[graciegirl]

Ah yes. The Bronze Bull.


Someone will say something profound about it soon.


I have my own thoughts.

I can't remember seeing any animals in stores unless they were the merchandise (pets for sale).

I would be very surprised if it is commonly allowed for liability reasons. All it takes is one animal bite and the deepest pockets end up being sued along with the owner.

I know, gracie, it is a real male thing emblazoned on us from the sight and unforgettable. Nobody can complain. It's just a....bull.......

It's just, you can look at yourself, just like there are cattle and dogs and a bull. It's not like the bull is special. Just, just a bronze statue of a bull.
I don't think about it. Do you, Gracie?

Nothing like a dog thread----almost as good as the old Political Threads! We shop SAMs Club maybe twice a month but frankly can't remember a dog (of any kind) in there….

Service animals. Personally I think the State is "too loose" regarding service animals. It appears almost any dog could be labeled a service dog and can accompany a person everywhere.

When I think of a service dog, I think of one that is in service of a visually impaired person. That is certainly not the case under the regulations today.

A dog riding around in a grocery cart in SAMs Club or any other grocery is just wrong IMHO. Its not about dogs----it about public health.

There are plenty of places you can move that have a 'no pet' policy. Since you would pay more to live in places like that, you will have no problem finding a new place to live.

As you can see, I have dogs and with the exception of service dogs, don't believe that pets belong in grocery stores. Home Depot or Lowe's for dogs is okay but frankly, none of it really bothers me. Most dogs are cleaner than most people. It isn't as though you are putting raw meat in a cart where a dog's posterior has sat. I assume if you buy tomatoes and apples, they are in a plastic bag. Even if not -- you wash all this stuff before you cook or consume it anyway. So what is your real problem? Obviously, it's simply that you have no time for and don't like . . . DOGS! .:rant-rave::

Now a days with so many people having very short fuses and ready to blow at anytime. I don't care if I see the pope riding the hump day camel through my favorite restaurant. I am going to leave it alone.

The world has moved pass the middle finger, or the four letter word .

I love a good dog fight.

True... but you could go complain to management. Chances are mgt. won't shoot you.

I do agree with most everything you stated. There are many senior communities in Florida that are not pet friendly. Fortunately, TV isn't one of them. I love nothing more than enjoying all the different breeds that live here. There ARE places that dogs don't belong (grocery stores being one of them), but I have a feeling that those that feel the need to complain about it, are the same ones who don't like to see them at all....no matter where.
