<p>MK7...I will not bend to the controlling needs of others...however, I do listen to good advice if there is somewhere I am lacking. If I'm dumb enough to leave my pet in a heated car for extended periods, then a correction in behavior is warrented. If I have to run in to go shopping, it'll take me but a few minutes, it is no one's frickin business. Most of the complainers are just that...people trying to impose their will and control on others because they lack it in themselves. <br><br>Katie...thanks for that post...Your friend seems quite controlling as well...She's imposing her views of what dogs think on others and insisting its what all dogs are feeling. Pita DOES want to go everywhere in the car with me and half the time doesn't want to get out. Granted, dumbasses should not be allowed to bake puppies in vehicles, but 99.9 chances out of a 100 there is not hotdog on the nights menu. Like your friend said, most of the time the vehicle is gone before she even gets there meaning that those people were only there briefly and the person with the big schnoze who placed the complaint was imposing their will on someone else.<br><br>The point I'm trying to make out of all this is that regardless of your concern and care for your pooch, there will always be someone there to try and dictate their views on how you should care for your best bud. If you know you are not harming them, they need to keep their snotty shnoze out of your business. Like Katie, I don't go where Pita's not wanted for any length of time that would harm her health. And, I won't waste my time coddling others with a note of my intentions. But, I do like how Katie has alerts concerning her pooch in times of an emergency. Great idea!<br><br></p>
