my dog loves to hang out on patios at the coffee shop. He just lays on my lap and loves to watch people. How boring for them if everyday was the same. They know when they are well loved and treated! Dogs do so many great things for society.

There are things I don't like, but I have to accept them when I venture out into the world. I don't say rude things to them because I don't like it or agree with what they are doing.
