I cried the other day when I went to a little cafe my wife and I like. They had some art on display. One was a collection of SK and Craftsman combination wrenches. There was close to 25 wrenches in the thing. The wrenches were in great shape except for the welds.
Speaking about friends. This happened to my dog. Our last visit to this cafe was our last. I was sitting outside with our two dogs. They were on leashes and hooked to the table. The place encourages dogs to join their owners. Two dogs came running around the building without leashes and came up to my dogs. One dog took one sniff of my old dog and then bit him on the nose. My dog yelped and then the other dog backed off then circled back with his hair up. I had a small brochure in my hand so I reached out and tapped the other dog on the nose and said get back. Next thing I herd was don't hit my dog from a young lady. I simply said your dog bit my dog and all I got was no it didn't and don't hit my dog. They her husband laid into me. He said that he worked there. Later when I noticed blood running down my dog's nose I went inside to find out who the owner was. I asked the girl behind the counter and the owner popped up beside me and denied it and her husband said do you want me to take him to the vet. Next thing I knew the manager was telling me to get out as her customers did not need to here this. We finished our food and a man came up and said that he could not believe how badly we were treated.
I did two things. First I left the bloody napkin under my coffee cup, which was really bad of me, as they would not admit that there dog had bit mine. Next we went into the small town and found a cop and told him what happened. He had one question, Were the other dogs on a leash. Nope. He payed them a visit later that day. I understand that dogs do bite one another that was not the issue. They treated me like dirt and showed no concern for my dog and gave me heck for protecting my dog from a second bite. I would not have brought the police in except for their attitude.
We went to that place 10+ each summer and have recommended it to many people. Guess what, no more.
