Scenes from a typical Saturday in Seattle, presented with little comment:
AND THEN: this morning, a young man brought a puppy into High 5 Pie. The pet was a silly little creature, at least part Corgi with stubby legs and a nub of tail, supercute through the window on the street, less so inside a coffeeshop. Puppy in his arms, the proud owner told my group of friends on our way out that we could all take turns petting his eleven-week-old. I would not be taking a turn, I replied, on principle, as dogs should not be inside eating establishments–yes, even if your girlfriend wants to get a latte–and thems the rules. I told him that his dog was very cute, but only in the appropriate context. And with that, I went out the door to find the puppy’s little plastic baggie of poop left outside High 5 Pie’s entrance.
Because I guess when you’re bringing an animal into a human eatery, the least a clueless, overly entitled dog-owner can do is NOT bring your ANIMAL’S SHIT inside as well.
oh yeah, i know what you mean….every time i get coffee or groceries and somebody brings their dog in…..suddenly all of my food is contaminated!! there’s dog feces and hair in EVERYTHING.
another dog post by audrey. boring, distracting from the rest of sunbreakmagazine.com, and just ridiculous. try some therapy! better start out at a dog free psych though.
I don’t understand why the managers let them bring their pets in. I’m sure local laws forbid pets in restaurants and other establishments that sell food.
“This isn’t Macy’s.” ZING. Hey, how much for that camel-and-dog-hair jacket?
Aggressive anti-dog poop posters going up in my apt’s elevators, because, like HALF of YOU DOG PEOPLE dont pick it up when you dont think anyone is looking. Truth!
As long as Seattle is the wild west of dog etiquette, dog shaming posts are needed. If you disagree you probably are the problem.
People don’t need their dog to help smell the peaches, pick out energy star appliances or sip lattes. Bad things are a lot less likely to happen to your dog if you leave it at home where it belongs. It could be attacked by someone else’s dog. If it bites someone you’ll have big problems-a quarantine with a four digit bill and the average settlement in a dog bite claim is over $26,000; over $500,000 for a pit bull. Someone could steal it while you’re in a shop; or break your car window or call police if they think it’s hot. Some people are allergic-some deadly allergic. Not everyone loves your dog the way you do.
Its only a matter of time a child is killed or severely injured in a grocery store due a pit bull attack. there as already been 64 dogs attacks so far. Like this poor girl who was just attacked at Starbucks http://doghatersunite.com/2013/07/19/rottweiler-mauls-girl-at-coffee-shop/#comments
Leave the flea bearing thing outside, we don’t need our food contaminated by foul smelling dogs.
