I stopped by Petco yesterday and brought my boxer in with me. I noticed a few kids near the birds and fish. No big deal. I went to pay and looked up and we were literally surrounded by at least 20 4 to 5 year olds and 2 adults. The kids were being kids and getting exceptionally close and reaching out toward Roxy while yelling and screaming. An adult did finally tell them not to touch/grab/get too close to her but it took forever. The cashier said it was a field trip.
My boxer did really good...I asked her to sit and she did...and i positioned myself between her and the kids. I do not have children and I think she does not know to be gentle. I stopped letting kids under 5 pet her when she knocked over a toddler in the park and barked at him causing him to cry. She likes older kids though.
She definitely got a treat after that one! Needless to say I was a little overwhelmed. :crazyeye:
