Agreed. Dogs don't roll in anything good.

Matter of opinion, theirs or ours...

Wife sent this to me. Our two oldest dogs. The small black one is funny. He hangs out with the hound relaxing, then the older puppy we found with us now, he always rough houses with.

Here is what one of mine looks like after doing that rolling thing in a cow pasture. She finds the fresh stuff before I have any idea what she is up to.

My last dog used to find the freshest, wettest, smelliest pile of moose dung and roll in it so that the right side of her neck was covered... then would walk up and rub against me so that I would reach down and pet her there. I swear that she did it just to make me go "Ewww!!"

One night before we headed for New York I gave her a bath, thinking "There's virtually no moose there, maybe she will stay clean for a while." That lasted until about noontime the next day. I was sitting by a stream eating lunch when I noticed her rolling in something... a nice smelly pile of otter skat.

We love a parade and so do mutts. Socialization is good. My spouse works for Portage health.

I took my dog into Tractor Supply last week for the first... and the last time. He doesn't get out in public much and when he does, it's generally because I know he'll get the attention he thrives on. We walked around the store and not one person paid him any attention. A couple of times he tried to go see somebody but I will only let him approach people who indicate it's OK; and nobody did. As we were leaving I did let him approach a customer at the checkout, just because he was pretty disappointed. I don't let him make a nuisance of himself but on the other hand he is a sociable dog... and I always thought TSC was supposed to be dog friendly.

We don't venture to our TSC much, just don't often have whatever we are looking for. Just after they opened we asked the guy helping us, knowing they nationality had a dog friendly policy, he responded with a "must ask the manager" spew. We didn't.

There isn't much in TSC that would appeal to our dogs unless its during their chick days when they have baby chickens and baby ducks for sale.

Rural King is mostly mid-west but I think they are truly dog friendly. I never took a dog there but see a few. They seem to give free dog bones and I have seen free pig ears before. I also saw a dog get into a bag of the free popcorn in the half second it took the owner to react.

I don't go to TSC much but wonder if the dog friendly thing is a response to the RK that is their competitor in some markets.

And Atwoods in others.

The people at our TSC are friendly to toward the dogs. No treats given, thank goodness, but they talk to the animals and make over them a bit every time I have seen or taken a pooch into the store. Gotta assume, like so many other businesses, every store is different.
