Show Dog Driver

I feel I can type this because I am a true animal lover and this has nothing really to do with the harm of animals, just stupid people and my curiosity of stupid people.

I get in my car today and drive out of the parking lot for lunch and I get behind a Toyota, SUV, type car. There are stickers all over the back stating SHOW DOGS, SHOW DOGS ON BOARD, DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER DEATH, IF SO TOUCH MY SHOW DOG (my personal favorite). OK, we get it; you are traveling with Show Dogs!

Now, I’m a lover of show dogs, I have no reason NOT to be a lover of show dogs. I watch it on TV (sometimes when NFL is over), but I do respect that they are great animals and I know they are expensive, and I could see through the back window that she had two cages in the back of her SUV for her dogs to travel comfortably I’m sure.

Here is my question: Does she really HAVE to drive 10 MPH in a 25 MPH lane? Seriously, are they that fragile? Again, I’m an animal lover and I have transported many (and I can tell you MANY) pets to and from houses, Vets, hospitals in fragile states, but I don’t see the need to travel 10 MPH in a 25 MPH lane. It wasn’t like the road was rough terrain; it was a black top road. Was she afraid of a sudden stop in the middle of a parking lot? I can’t help but wonder.

Then she does the pull over so I can go around her thing. I have to admit, I was tailgating her ass, but come on 10 MPH? Wouldn’t you have been? Were they mini poodles or something and they were going to fall through the cracks of the cage? I could see their heads so I think not. Anyway, I had to wonder, does she travel this slow on the highway? She bugged me and it made me want to beep, of course I did NOT, because I’m an animal person, but she is just stupid.

Now I feel better that I could vent this!
