There's a fellow named Gary (not related to ours here). Gary likes
Harris Teeters about the same time I shop so we encounter one another
sometimes.

I've heard him tell his guide dog to take him to the butcher counter.
The dog goes there and barks once, pauses, then barks again and sits.
They come and tell him the specials (sales) and he gets his selections.
He comes with a paid assistant who helps get the rest of it all then
takes them back home.

He's the only one I've met in person with a guide dog for the blind.
Dunno his dog's name but he's a typical german shepard. Nice fellow,
probably state/federal aide for the shopper with him.

Gender indications on passports are disappearing. Schools are banning
the use of phrases like "boys and girls", because that's very
confronting for those who are neither.

LOL, ok that's 2 at Harris Teeters (your's by the beach) but your's is
a lady and mine is a guy also named Gary with a bonified Service guide
dog. I'm with it on the actual service animal.

The 'support animals' are pretty much bogus due to a lot of abuse of
the system.

Dave, if it's an actual service animal (not 'support') then it's well
trained and won't mess on the floor in a grocery store or grab meat out
of the meat shelves or anything like that.

It bears repeating once more. Gary, you need to get out more if you've
only seen the blind with dogs or a white cane on TV.

I hope that you aren't voicing that opinion elsewhere. You, and none
of us have the ability to judge the need for a support animal. PTSD
isn't limited to ex-military and the need for a support animal isn't
limited to PTSD. Specialty dogs are trained for all sorts of needs.
I guess we all just need to be kind and understanding.

I don't mind dogs, they should go wherever they want. Cats OTOH, I don't care for them much. OTOH, Taiyo helped me catch a large centipede this morning. He spotted it and I put it in a bucket. I threw that critter onto the parking lot, in the midst of some chicken. One chicken grabbed it and went all over the lot keeping it away from the other chickens. God, I love chickens and dogs.

No, too many have abused that 'support animal' now. Sorry, but while a
few are well trained, so many are not and they have been known to bite
people on airplanes who were forced to sit with them.

Exactly. Support animals have *no* training requirements at all. WE do
have *service* level trained dogs for PTSD you know....

These days, I don't leave the house much anymore. I'm too afraid to
walk into a support animal.

Modern times have gone all to hell. No matter what you do or don't do,
someone will have a problem with it.

Oh I don't mind them, but if badly behaved, they can be dangerous in
the wrong setting.

What doesn't bother me? A small one in the child seat of a cart.
Harmless and if it comforts the owner, I'm all for it.

Since childhood I've seen many seeing eye dogs, people with a white
cane and a harnessed dog, typically a large dog. Normal people know
to give them wide birth. Growing up in NY City there were lots of
seeing eye dogs, in streets, stores, public transportation,
everywhere. Even here in the boonies there are lots of seeing eye
dogs and other service dogs.
I see service dogs every time I go into town. They are low key and
never bothersome, they are well trained and know their job.
Everyone be very thankful that you don't need a service dog. I've
learned that there's really no difference between a service dog and a
farm dog that sees to the herd. I've seen a small sheltie round up 50
black angus and move them field to field to feed. It's really quite
amazing to see these dogs do their job.

If there were fully enclosed toileting stalls then the issue would be a
non issue. I even think that there's a good chance that handwashing
habits would improve if the sink area was unisex.
