Pup cuddling power shopper says go home

Posted on Friday, March 19

To the woman with the northern accent who snobbishly walked by me (and my pup) in a boutique this afternoon and looked at her daughter and said "they allow DOGS in shops here?"
Listen, Charleston is a very dog-friendly city. My pup didn't do anything but smile at you and your daughter. Dogs are part of the culture here. Dogs are man's (and woman's) best friend and personally I think it's great that most of my favorite stores downtown let me bring my girl along; and honestly you can go back to whatever town you came from if you don't like it.

Displaced Yankee myself, and that lady can go... sit in the corner and consider what she's done wrong. "Dog friendliness" is just one of Charleston many charms, and I love it.

LOL, most of the time, I would rather deal with the dogs than the children. Because, most of the time,the dogs are better behaved.

Unless it's a store for pets, the owners need to leave them in the car or at home! How would you feel if I brought my pet python/pitbull/alligator/spider/etc along shopping with me?? Just because you thing your pet is cute doesn't mean that everyone thinks it's cute.

Also, some people are allergic and have fears of some animals.

Really, who walks around with pet spiders or alligators? Don't be ridiculous. There's a reason why humans like furry creators such as dogs; they ARE cute, intelligent, and have charisma, unlike many people I know. If kids are allowed out into public, then pets should be too. I know my dog behaves better than most children. And low blow on pitbulls; they get a bad rep because a few select people train them to be mean. As for allergies and fears, don't get near the dog and you should be fine.

Yo we are talking about a dog in a dog friendly store. So if there was a alligator friendly store I am sure that people will bring them in said store. Lets not be so uptight about things and relax take a chill pill and be cool. Like the saying goes "Let it be."

If a dog bites someone in your shop you will be sued.

My dogs are the best dogs in all of Charleston! I love them, they love me, and they are perfect in every way. I asked them if they wanted to go shopping with me but apparently they are broke, don't care if the jeans make my butt look fat, and prefer the doggy park for socialization. Oh and the youngest one wants to know what in the heck is a boutique anyway and is it beef flavored or chicken.
