Last week I was in Staples. The man in front of me in line had a small dog, a maltese, in a dog stroller. I could hardly contain my laughter. Will you please explain to me why it is necessary to bring your dog to an office supply store, in a dog stroller? Does anyone besides me think that's a little strange???

Hi Patti,
My DD and I volunteer at PetsMart on Saturdays, helping with adoptions. We see a lot of people with those strollers.
One woman told me that with the stroller, she could take her dog with her in any store that didn't sell food and she liked being able to take the dog everywhere.
I can kind of see it, but they don't make them big enough for my boys. Lol. And Spike thinks that real dogs don't ride in strollers.
Patti -
My favorite is the lady that brings her bischon frise to the dog park, and then takes it straight from the car, into the stroller, around the dog path, and back into the car.
I asked her if the dog was quite old, and she replied, "No, she is only 9 months old." I asked if she had hip problems, "Not at all!." So, finally I had to ask right out, "Why do you keep her in the stroller, instead of letting her run around the woods and play with the other dogs.
She replied, "Oh, she doesn't like to run around or play."
WHAT 9 month old puppy DOESN'T like to play?
I keep trying to get her to let her out and play........

Whoa.
Isn't that like the joke with the punchline, "Oh, he *can* walk... thank goodness he doesn't HAVE to!"
It seems kind of cruel to keep a puppy from running around and playing, and just imagine how neurotic that poor dog will grow up to be! Some people!
On a similar note, around the city I see tons of parents with 3, 4, and
5 year olds > Patti -There's a neurotic dog in the making! All that pent up energy and no where to go!
