Allowed one bite
Those living in Oz will know them, Bunnings, and to those in UK it is a major hardwear chain similar to I believe B&Q.
At a tea members meeting the suggestion that customers b allowed to ring heir dogs into the store when they visit.
It is common to see 'tradies' in their 'Ute' with a dog in the back, so why not allow them in the store?
So the concept went ahead. I might add at this point that no dogs,apart from seeing eye, are allowed in any shop or public transport.
A couple of days into it and a Jack Russel bites a young girl. Talk back radio went viral and Bunnings ha to pay all medical costs.
It makes me wonder where do these people get the ideas? Just imagine a store where a dog can cock a leg, have a crap and expect no one to be concerned?


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Allowed one bite
Brings to mind one day out on a Train ride John
A Lady was sitting just opposite me and for quite a while I was rather perplexed by this noise I was hearing ,though it was my Eras playing tricks (as I am half deaf) but no after quite a while I then noticed this little Dog in her Bag ,it must have been asleep before,then out popped his little head ,the Lady tried to stuff the poor little thing back in the Bag,but that caused a commotion and it began Barking not a loud Bark as it was a very small type,she would have been better just leaving it to sit!
Anyway after this barking started ,well everyone in the Carriage began to get annoyed,and one Guy jumped up to tell her off,i felt so sorry for her!
He then stormed off to what I though was another carriage,but Alas! he had gone to the back and told the Guard!
Well on the next Station stop this Lady and her Dog were smartly put off.
Don't know what happened to her after that!
Wasn't a real nice thing to do,especially as it was such a tint Doggie! Shame!
Cheers

Re: Allowed one bite
A blind man walked into a supermarket with his guide dog, he then picked the dog up and started swinging it around by it's tail.
A shop assistant said, " stop, why are you swinging the dog ? "
" Just having a look round " said the blind man.

Re: Allowed one bite
The same blind man was waiting at a bus stop when his dog cocked his leg and peed all over his shoes. The man reached into his pocket took out a bag of dog treats and gave one to his dog.
A woman said, " How kind you are, the dog has just peed all over you and you are giving him a treat ".
" Not really " said the blind man. " I am trying to find where his head is so I can kick him up the ass ".
