Wait This Is Petsmart, Right?

Let me start off by saying my Friday's are quite busy. Many Friday's are spent with the added task of being a pug taxi as I take them to an appointment, the groomers, or day camp. Those types of activities always end up on Friday.

So there I am standing in a Petsmart grooming section. On a Friday, might I add. I arrive to claim our two muggie-puggies. The groomer assistant brings Cody out to me then turns around to go back to get Simon. A woman walks into the grooming section, promptly asks me to "move" Cody because....oh get this...are you ready...she's afraid of dogs!!!!!! I was dumbfounded! Slightly stunned! Speechless!  I give her a puzzled look as I'm thinking, 'wait this is Petstmart, right?'...if you have a fear of dogs don't stand in the grooming section of a Petsmart, they aren't grooming iguanas!

Based on my puzzled stare she was receiving she offered up the info that she was only in a Petsmart because a friend of hers was over looking at the fish. Then go over to the fish section was the next thought entering my mind. Did I move Cody? Nope, afraid not folks! I guess I wasn't very accommodating because I didn't make Cody move a muscle. It's Cody...he's the most friendly little dude there is. Now for the not so good part...the grooming assistant is bringing Simon out. He's next to the assistant making the long trek across the room to me as I say out loud, "Oh, here's my little rottweiler trapped in a pug body!"  I couldn't help it! It simply just came out of my mouth! The lady quickly moved to the side. I reached out to grab Simon's leash adding it to my grasp then led both boys out the door of the groomers and back into the store.

When I came home to tell Brad the story of picking up the pugs. You know what he instantly asks?  He says, "Please tell me you didn't make Cody move?"  Ah yes, apparently the two of us think alike in this area too. He wouldn't have made Cody move either!

Not trying to be mean or anything but if you have a fear of dogs, why go stand in a grooming section? If your fear is that intense stay out of a Petsmart, seeing a dog shop alongside their owner is a common sight! I mean if you have a fear of snakes, you're likely going to steer clear of the reptile section right? Right!  If you have a fear of lions at the zoo, you'll likely skip that exhibit. You get my point!
