I love dogs. But what is the problem with these hightone folks in New York City — college-educated and upscale — who don’t think that the “No Dogs Allowed” posted outside a deli market does not apply to them? Those signs are posted because of the health department requirements. Nevertheless, trendy New Yorkers will somehow think that because “Coco” is little, she’s okay to stand near the deli counter. That must’ve have been the logic of the well-dressed man this morning who brought, not one, but two little canines that resembled electric shoe polishers at an airport. That guys behind the counter and I just stared at him. The “No Dogs Allowed” sign was clearly posted on the door.
It’s at those times in life when I was I had a stun gun. I ranted about this to a friend of mine who has a dog. She replied, “Yeah..but if it’s tiny and..” I cut her off with “…tiny nothing. It’s an animal that walks around with an exposed anus. Have you seen how dogs greet each other in public? Why would I want that nose near the deli counter when someone is making my chicken salad sandwich? No. It’s wrong. If you were making dinner for company, how would you like it if I wafted through your kitchen with no shoes and no drawers on? Think of all that by the cheese and crackers. Keep the pets outside. No dogs allowed.” Is this happening where you live? Just curious.
