We try to take the puppies out often so they can meet as many different people as possible while they're still young. Aside from the pet store (or toy store, as we call it) we like to go eat lunch out where we can sit at an outside table. People pass by and they get petted and fawned over. They love it.
A woman approached me saying that she was in town on business and she missed her dog and could she pet mine. I always say yes, and so we chatted as she got her puppy fix. She seemed like a nice lady and she gushed over my puppies and kept them entertained, so I liked her just fine. Then she had to kill it.
Her: These guys are just like little babies.
Me: Yeah, they do require quite a bit of attention and work.
Her: It's good you have them. I think everyone should have to take care of a puppy before they have babies. They're such good preparation for the real thing.
Me: (Take a big bite of sandwich to muffle any possible words.)
