Pet-Friendly World - People UNfriendly?

Certified service dogs are coming to mind.... people that use them do like to eat out sometimes... I've trained and used therapy dogs in my practice. I also used one of my therapy boxers while coaching people going for their state board clinical oral exams. An amazing anti-anxiety, calming tool! But, the dog always got the thank you card after they passed and were licensed!

I'm a pet person and take responsibility for my pooch when out and about. He does need to have manners and if someone could have an asthma attack around him, I would leave him home.

However, I find that I just avoid non-pet people at this time of my life. I don't date anyone that dislikes animals (re: my profile). Why would I put myself through that? No one is that wonderful. Also, I was with a partner that didn't like dogs (she liked cats), and I never will be again. Too stressful. My dog is family and so are my cats. And I have a very clean and tidy home. Investing in a Sebo vacuum cleaner was one of the best things I have ever done!

OK, Kobi… I said oral exam up there…..
