sometimes I forget where everybody is Located. I'm on my phone so it doesn't show. here in the US they are everywhere. Everyone has one or five(like me...).Thanks your advice, however I just wouldn't dare carry/hold even a puppy. (It is a dog after all). As for dogs being everywhere, well, thank GOD that they are NOT here in the Middle East. Only the VERY rich have dogs. And these people are about 5% of the population. So that doesn't really worry me.
