I've noticed over the past year or so that every time I go to the supermarket there is at least one dog inside. Yesterday morning I went out to get some supplies before the games and at the store there were about 5-6 dogs on a leash with their owners while the dog owner shopped. They were not service dogs, just your regular Fidos. The dogs were sniffing around like dogs do. I saw a store employee vigorously petting one of the dogs and later I saw that same employee working the checkout line. I saw one dog make nose contact and possible tongue contact with some products in the bread aisle. While I was checking out (not in the employee dog-petter line) I felt a snout pushing at my ankle. I glanced down to see a poodle sniffing away at my shoe laces while it's owner seemed oblivious to the dog's activities. Maybe because it was a Sunday morning were there so many in the store but when did this become an acceptable thing? I remember a time when a store employee would tell the dog owner upon store entrance that dogs were not allowed inside. Did policies change? Have people's attitude's toward animals in the market changed? I love dogs as much as the next guy but this trend of bringing your pet with you wherever you go is out of control. Can't the dog stay at home alone for a few minutes while you go out and pick up your Cheetos?
