So recently, I got a puppy. Over the course of the past few weeks, we’ve bonded in an extremely unusual way. I’ve really never been a dog person so needless to say when my boyfriend got me a puppy for my birthday, I thought he was cute, but there was no way I was gonna fall in love with a dog…it just wouldn’t happen. I’m too reasonable for that.
Except that’s the opposite of what happened. Now that I have a puppy, it’s my best friend, and I’ve started to neglect my social life in order to watch Netflix with him.
Because of this recent relationship development, I have noticed that there are not many places I am able to take my pup. So, I decided (partly jokingly) to publicly share the six the places I think dogs should be allowed.
1. The Movie Theater
It’s been a long day, and all you want is to chill and see a movie. The bad news, all your friends are busy doing cool things without you and you’re all alone. You do have one friend you can bring but they’re “not allowed." I mean really, how harmless could it be?
2. The Grocery Store
I realize the “dangers” in taking your dog to the store, I really do. He might eat things or bite someone but I mean if you’re just going into pick up a banana or two, let the little guy come with you, am I right?
3. To Church
I mean this one just makes sense, does it not? God literally made dogs. How could they “not be allowed to come in the sanctuary”? This is a no-brainer guys.
4. Target
I mean with all the controversy going on at Target, the least they can do is let dogs come in too. I think this is reasonable, I mean their mascot is a dog…
5. Class
This might be stretching it, but if you have a dog that is well-behaved and able to contain itself, I see no problem. If people complain about being “distracted” then they can be moved to another class. It happens all the time.
6. Other People's Houses
This is a bit personal, but if you’re that friend that’s says, “No you can’t bring your dog over,” then stop being that person. Dogs are great. I know now that they’re great and you should be glad to let little puppy come play with you.
I know there are others out there that feel the same way I do. If you don’t understand, get a puppy that’s really cute and keep it for a while, and then you will understand. For all my other dog homies out there, just know you’re not alone in wanting to bring your dog everywhere.
