Outstanding. I'm not an animal person, but that doesn't mean I don't love and appreciate them. I just know I'm not the one to take care of them. But I will never complain or cause problems for those who do. The value they bring for things like law enforcement, search and rescue, legitimate mental health service or just companionship is immeasurable.
As someone who has traveled with dogs for the past 30 years, I can tell you that it has NEVER been easier or more enjoyable to travel with dogs than it is today. Restaurants, bars, hotels, AirBNBs, motels, etc. ALL allow dogs more than EVER before, and the internet makes finding those places easier than ever (we have a huge, expensive book from the early 2000s for finding hotels, etc. He is right. Everyone wants a dog to find their trapped body, but rejects them elsewhere, but the way it is today MUST be applauded, and the VOICE and DEMANDS of the consumer MUST be recognized as POWERFUL as they have changed the room rental landscape, the food establishment landscape, etc. for the better and for dogs in a POWERFUL way.
I like most dogs and cats more than most people. I'm still reminded of the time my wife and I were looking for an apartment and they told us that they only allowed declawed pets. I told the woman that I will consider renting an apartment there when she cuts off the first digit of all of her fingers and toes.
I'd rather move back into my travel trailer than live in a place that does not allow me to have my small dog. In fact, I am moving back into my travel trailer and go on a walkabout and de-stress from living in an apartment with the weirdos and karens that have seemed to proliferate lately. My Chihuahua (Guido) is 15 and went through obedience school when much younger and I still reinforce those lesson and she is a very well behaved, happy pup.
Well said, and DEFINITELY on point!

ReplyDeleteI do not wish to associate with any man who will not pet a friendly dog.

ReplyDelete(Horses, not so much. Any animal that allows people to ride it is not to be trusted, imo.)
Marco agrees.
