Seriously?!

I try not to go to Boca Raton unless it's a medical emergency. Enough said.
I was there last Saturday and decided to hit the Town Center Mall on the way home, since I was already 30 miles out of my way. I don't normally see people with their pets out in public, especially in Davie (unless they are riding their horses), so imagine my surprise when I looked up from the Sale Rack of shoes in Banana Republic to see some woman uncomfortably lovingly stroking her small dog while she thumbed through the linen pants. Seriously? First of all, your dog doesn't want to go to the mall with you unless...1) there are other dog butts for him to sniff out or 2) there is food for him to eat.
Secondly, your dog would rather be at home, on top of your bed, with his butt firmly planted on your pillow, waiting for you to come home in just enough time to jump off the bed (you will suspect nothing) and greet you as you turn the key in the door. Your dog DOES NOT want to go shopping with you. He doesn't understand why you are holding him like a baby while you look for that cute little V-neck in your size. He would rather be licking himself in the privacy of your bedroom while you are not home. All he wants is more food, another walk, and fresh water.
To all you people who think it is even 'cuter' to put your dog into a 'doggy stroller' so that you can push him around the mall because it makes you feel like you have a baby. God made dogs with 4 legs, that's 2 more than you (and no one is pushing you around the mall in a stroller) so that they can transport themselves to the next place to take a whizz.
By the way, your dog does not need clothing, of ANY type...God put a fur coat on the dog so that he is appropriately dressed for EVERY OCCASION. The dog does not need a silk bikini with a cubic zirconia tiara and little leather booties...you are just humiliating the dog and he is going to walk around like his feet are fire in them anyway. You are only the person who is amused by this.....
PS) I don't want YOUR dog fur on my new linen pants.
