#3 - People take their dogs everywhere.

Don't get me wrong, people did this in Ohio. However, I have now seen several dogs tied to benches or poles outside public buildings waiting for their masters. Seriously, couldn't Fluffy stay home while you get those few things you need from Big Lots? Wouldn't Fluffy be happier at home, or even in the car?

I always feel sorry for the dogs waiting pathetically for their masters. They always look so sad.

Check out observations #1 and #2.
