Allergies NOT considered

I have noticed that people these days are taking their pets, especially dogs, everywhere. I have seen them at the home improvement stores, the grocery store,Malls, clothing stores, a kitchen supply store and Beaches (even if signs that say No Dogs Allowed are posted) and even in a fast food resturant.

Last Month 2 women came into Lowes with their dogs. They came right up to where I was trying to order new countertops. I had to leave the store. Lowes only allows service animals, which is reasonable. Unfortunately, animal lovers don’t consider those with allergies and especially asthma.

A few months ago, a woman with her dog on an airplane said it was not her problem that I and another passenger had health problems. She could care less that both of us had asthma. I had to exit the plane until this woman agreed to be moved to the front of the plane. I also have to wear a mask for additional protection.
