Schatzi = Amazing 🐾💕
Incidents in Staunton, VA = 7
- Small dog pulling towards us as we tried to enter the hotel lobby
- Rushed and attempted attack by bully breed as we tried to exit the elevator (owner had to pick the dog up!!)
- Loose dog in parking lot and owner made no attempt to keep dog away or from following us around
- Crazy and interested kids but hey that’s common and what SD doesn’t enjoy the kiddos
- Rushed by a large “friendly” doodle in a small specialty pet store with owner allowing the dog to pull all the way up to us backing us against the storefront window
- Cat let loose out of a backpack after a customer enters the store
- Street performing set up next to the back of the vehicle juggling balls and bowling pins, wearing a very strange outfit, blasting music, and allowing us barely any space to get to our vehicle
One very busy weekend! There were definitely the normal activities, TSC was apparently having their PetVet day, non-service dogs in stores, all the people wanting to pet and ask questions. 🤷♀️ She rocked it though! 🦮
