  1. I read those books to my kids. If You Take a Mouse to School If You Give a Pig a Pancake If You Buy A Pig a First Class Seat to Cancun, etc. There's the moral to all this. Animals in unusual places in story books are cute and funny. In real life I lose out on enchiladas and queso. Life is rough.
  2. Who's attemping to get laid? The friend or the puppy? If the puppy that may violate some laws or policy. Unless it's a service puppy. This shit is getting convoluted.
  3. I'm fine with dogs. We're planning on getting one in the next few months after we finish some home remodeling. We won't be taking it with us to shops and restaurants and grocery stores, even "dog-friendly" ones. But you're saying the solution to dogs being allowed at places I enjoy, that not long ago didn't have dogs, is for me to stop going to these places? I hardly feel my preferences are being catered to in that situation. And yes, if it became a thing where we can't enjoy that environment because of unruly dogs, obviously we'd find another restraurant. A business can of course change their policies without consulting me, or anyone. If it works for them, and there are THAT many more happy customers to offset the loss of customers unhappy with the situation, then it's a smart business move. I doubt they've surveyed their customers on this or have arrived at a clear consensus. They probably just said "Eh, we don't want to confront this problem. Let them stay." But I admittedly -- in the tradition of surly -- have diverted this away some from the original issue. HEB isn't claiming to be a "dog friendly" place. HEB's own policy: "At H-E-B, we are committed to the health and safety of our customers," the grocer told the Chronicle. "While pets are not permitted, service animals are welcome in our stores." The dogs I see there are not service animals. HEB just needs to apply their own policy.
  4. I'm including all stores not just HEB. I also include coffee shops, patios and anywhere else where dogs, a few years ago, were never seen. I'm not a fan of them there either. We went to a busy TexMex patio last week. Two dogs at an adjacent table barking loudly at people walking by. Owners did nothing, just laughed. We moved inside, but only after I had my toddler go over and kick the people in their shins (I wish). Dogs used to just be at home in yards. Or were being walked. Or at a park, maybe. I don't even think dog parks were a thing until the 90s, or probably later. But still dogs were not taken everywhere back then. I don't travel much internationally, but I am curious if the dog culture here happens in Europe or elsewhere. Feels like a uniquely self-important American activity.
  5. I think this is a significant issue that probably factors in to some owners insisting on "taking their dogs out." I lived in a downtown condo a while back. There were more dog owners in those small condos than in my current neighborhood with large yards and acreage. And all of those dogs, every damn one, barked their heads off at any passersby day and night, and that was where I got bit by a "non aggressive" breed. The owners were not doing those dogs any favors. Me, on many occasions, to them and their dogs:
  6. Yep, that kid's probably a toddler now and causing all sorts of chaos at HEB.
  7. Sure, there are going to be way more encounters because there are going to be many more people bringing their kids to HEB. A 4-year-old girl or boy can't be left home alone, but a 4-year-old dog can, and should be. Growing up, I never recall seeing dogs in stores. Now I see them probably once or more every 5 store visits, at various stores. I roll my eyes every time. It is a manufactured need to bring a dog everywhere. Dogs will survive at home alone for an hour, or can be walked or brought to a dog park. If little Fifi's fur falls out when she's left alone, she needs to see her puppy therapist and express her puppy anxiety and be put on puppy Prozac /s
  8. Glad she's not a psycho dog, but sincere question: why do you need or want to take the dog to the store? Other than her helping pick out the best riding mower of course. In general as Brisket mentioned, dogs can stress out others but that's never in an owner's equation it seems. Dogs are out of control and suck usually because their owners can't control them, and suck. I don't have a dog phobia but I've been bitten at a former condo because the owner couldn't be bothered to control his dog and it ran up, while on a long leash, and bit my leg. Wife got bit while walking into a convenience store by someone who brought their dog there. For people who argue "dogs are the same as kids" -- I feel sorry for their children. Or them maybe for how their parents treated them.
  9. It may be pandering, but I approve. Walk up song: Kyle Higashioka: “Cowboys from Hell” by Pantera
  10. Found the video. He even moves a bit like Altuve on the bases. astros-jersey-bandit_okByI6Pe.mp4
  11. An Astros guy stealing things that he didn't earn?
  12. A little blurry. Is his name Asswipe?
  13. Well we won the opener last year so we're just reversing that bad mojo. But the offense looking just like 2024 isn't a good start. Only the new guys did anything worth a shit
  14. Bullpen. This was our concern dude.
  15. Coldplay shuts 'em down. Welcome back.
  16. Watching Bochy walk to the mound makes me hurt.
  17. Garcia trying to make this inning harder.
  18. Josh regularly shows some great fielding. The Rangers catch of the year last year other than Jank's was that running towards left field over the shoulder one Josh made. It was absurd.
  19. Wow. Pequeno Josh with the play.
  20. Now hit their pen and get Nate the win.
  21. Got dang Nate. You're just embarrassing them now.
  22. That was a strike anyway, c'mon ump Ha. Got him twice that AB.
  23. That was nasty. 7 Ks
  24. Maybe let's get some runs to back up my man Nate. Let's not be the 2024 Rangers.
