Boca Raton's Leading News Source Has Some Problem With Pets In Grocery Stores!

Can you believe it? Apparently those old fuddie-duddies in Florida have some problem with shoppers bringing their pets into grocery stores! Like this one, f'rinstance!

And it's not like the adorable little fur-baby was making a mess — clearly he was helping to clean up the place by licking the floor! This is obviously a JSA, or janitorial-support animal, so frankly we don't see the problem.

Check out the outrageous and shocking story at Boca News Now:

Hey Publix, Why Is This Dog Allowed In Your Store?

Target — West Hills, California

Barking dog in a shopping cart in Target. Fun stuff!
My dog-to-people translation may be a bit off. I'm pretty clear it should be "Open another register! My owner doesn't bother with 'Service Dogs Only' signs; he sure as hell ain't gonna wait in no line!"

Ralphs Grocery Store — Burbank, California

Apparently You Can't Bring Your Pets To Subway Restaurants In Virginia! Outrageous!

DATELINE: WYTHEVILLE, VIRGINIA

Adorable, Coddled Snowflake Child Goes Into Subway Restaurant Not To Purchase Sandwich, But To Use Bathroom, Tries To Bring Pet — As He Should! 

Manager has some "problem" with it, kicks kid and pet out. Mom pitches a fit — as she should! After all, pet has been registered online as an "emotional support animal" and Mom carries certification — on her cell phone!

Very disturbing is that according to the "law," the aforementioned manager did nothing wrong, and apparently it's not yet legal to Bring Your Pets into Subway.  Astounding! 

Most disturbing — and absolutely unprecedented — is that the anchor in the studio, one Chris Hurst actually had the temerity at the end of the piece to explain the difference between a "service animal" or service animal, and an "emotional support animal" or pet. 

Well, that don't help our cause none, does it!

Check out the story here.

And be sure to note that the "emotional support animal" is outfitted with a prong collar, which is generally used as a training device, so either the 11-year-old in charge of the dog is still training her or is unable to handle her without it.

99¢ Only Store — Winnetka, California

If we had 99¢ only for every time we've seen someone who knows you can  Bring Your Pets  to the 99¢ Only store, well, we probably could afford to shop somewhere else than the 99¢ Only store!

Regardless, here's a neat one: This gentleman decided to bring his pit bull along for shopping day!

Crave — Studio City, California

You'd have to be a far-out space nut not to fall in love with adorable little Moe! Presumably it's not just beloved veteran comedians who can get a booth with their pooch at Crave. Looks like you can Bring Your Pets, too!

Lowe's Home Improvement — Rocky Mount, Virginia

Some would cry "Foul!" for me posting this one, as it was snapped in a fairly rural area (where it might be argued that policies about animals in stores may already be more lax) in a Lowes (where it might be argued "It's a home improvement store with concrete floors — what's the harm?!") and the pet is in a carriage (and it might be argued "Isn't that poor dog suffering enough already with the complete loss of any dignity he might have once possessed prior to being shuttled about in a pink stroller?").

Ah, but such arguments would fall on deaf ears, for those who would make them don't understand this blog's intent! We celebrate pets in such establishments!

I'm here to tell you, "Look! You can Bring Your Pets to Lowe's! Magnificent!"
