Does your Lowes allow dogs?

[Willl]

No and I'm glad they don't.

It's not a pet store.

I was in Lowes yesterday and a guy had his big old yellow Lab with him on a leash.
It did not bother me at all.

 

[jinjimbob]

No and I'm glad they don't.

I think most screaming children are much worse.

There is another reason I agree with Willl, I had a child who was allergic to dog saliva. It is not a pet store or vet place where I should have to worry about such. If they even licked something and she touch it later it was a problem. They really are taking on a potential large liability issue. Not only the store but so is the pet owner. kt

If I could, they'd be out too.

And ladies paying with a check

And ladies paying with a check

I agree. It was just a little over a week ago that I went to a Pep Boys Auto store to buy one $30 item. They had one male cashier who might have been 20 years old, and they only had one customer in the store besides me. That customer was an elderly lady. She searched and searched and searched in her purse until she finally found a credit card. She and the young cashier tried that credit card very slowly 6 times and then discussed at considerable length possible reasons for it being rejected each time. So then she began a lengthy search of her purse again. She eventually came up with a check, which she laboriously signed and gave to the cashier to finish filling out. And then the cashier asked for a drivers license. The search of the purse began again, and at that point, I left the product I had intended to buy and left the store. I don't know whether she ever found a drivers license or not.

Now I felt sorry for the old lady, but the store had other employees and they could have gotten another cashier.

I was in a new TSC store in Bowie, TX this past Sunday. A lady had a small terrier mix dog on a leash. That's the first time I've ever seen a dog even in a TSC. I just wonder what some dogs might do if they saw the pen full of baby chicks they have at TSC almost every spring. What about walking up and down the dog food aisle? I figure a dog would overdose on all those smells.

makes me happy to see a dog in a store. But I understand why businesses ban them - how can you distinguish between responsible people and idiots these days?

Still, I think it would be nice if dogs were everywhere... met a lot fewer annoying dogs than annoying people.

A few years back, my brother in law was in Germany. He said there were dogs everywhere, and they were all well behaved.

Upon investigation of this curiosity, he was told that they were required to attend training classes with their dogs.

I sure wish "Barkley" across my street would take his owner there.

That's true. I saw the same when I was there.

No training needed in Germany - it comes with the nation and the area

Befehl ist Befehl!

One of my German Shepherd Dogs is from Austria and the other is from Hungry. Does that count?

Our local Rural King stores allow pets but they definitely are not allowed at Home Depot nor Lowes. Even being a dog lover, I can understand their prohibition there. I really don't like a dog sticking it's nose up my rear when I'm squatting down to look at something on the bottom shelf. Also, at the Rural King store they always have a 'cleanup on isle 5 for a doggy mess'. I just keep my dogs at home when shopping. They have plenty to do without rooting through hardware and hiking on endcaps.

Responsible people use TBN

I take Lily my favorite White german sheperd into TSC all the time. I have taken my 100 pound White Sheperd into lowes in a buggy. Hes a big teddy bear. told the manger that he was my Seizure Alert dog. And they asked me to explain. I told them he alerts me to a seizure and if I have the signs **** give warng so if they didnt want a 250 pound mand alying on the floor spasing our peeing on the floor and swallowing my tongue to let him be. Actually idont have seizures but It was over 100 degrees outside andm y dog was with me and it was taking forever for them to do a return of 4 appliances that I didnt order. Even the manager warmed up to him.

And I'll bet you'd be the first to complain if they lied to you.

Not that it matters, but according to the AKC, any "white" shepherd dog automatically disqualifies it as a German Shepherd Dog. American Kennel Club - German Shepherd Dog

Some clubs have formed groups for White Shepherd dogs which are similar to German Shepherd Dogs.

 

[ray66v]

The AKC as a whole, is a bunch of **** retentive coffin dodgers. The AKC, in my opinion, has out lived their usefulness.
