From: My crazy life with my diabetic service dog.

I really wish people would just leave your pets at home. Even though they may be well behaved they have not been trained how to handle situations such as a grocery store or a mall for example.

I agree, I am sure one of the reasons I was refused service yesterday was some idiot pet dog.

Now since Dulce is self trained, and because the average grocery is filthy, grocery stores are a challenge. When I am stocking up, I leave her at home, but do take her in when we are doing a quick pickup on the way from other errands.

I do keep an eye on her head, since it is close to the ground.

But please, don't try to pose as a service dog. There was an emotional alert dog at Nordstrom's the other day, and they need to stay home too. Emotional support dogs are not service dogs and general don't have the training.

They are not covered by the ADA, but are covered in housing and by travel carriers.
