Is it really necessary?

I swear I used to like dogs.
Till I moved to the city. Now I just feel sorry for them. I live on a pretty busy street and I do believe there are more people here with dogs than kids. They take them into banks, restaurants, stores. Try doing that back east. HA! Stores put water bowls out for them on the sidewalks. You occasional step in their crap because mommie & daddie 'forgets' to pick it up. You cannot walk down the street anymore without seeing pit bulls, pugs, hounds, poodles, labs. The only exercise they get is when their owners go down the street to buy a latte. These are stay at home dogs with their stay at home moms. You see that doggie stroller up there? It's a whopping $119.00. I mean at least let the dog get some EXERCISE!!! And stop acting like those animals are babies, because they are not.
