REI hates dogs

OK, so today Rach and I took Hector out to run some errands.  I had to go to Fry's to drool over the Macbooks and Rach just wanted to get out of the house.  The last time we brought Hector into Fry's, everyone loved him!  One of the girls that worked there actually got us a cart to let him ride in.  Customers stopped us to pet him and it was a fun time had by all. 

It did not go so smoothly this time.  We got in and no one Ooo-ed or Aaww-ed!  People for the most part ignored him.  Which is fine.  But then we walked over to the video section and this horrible lady started yelling about "Is she allowed to bring that in here!  Someone go find out if that's allowed!"  OK, someone had too much haterade this morning.  So we skedaddled.  But poor hector was so upset that we decided to head to REI, where we were sure people would enjoy his presence. 

After walking around in REI for about a minute, this very nice guy came up and told us there was a policy against dogs in stores unless they're service dogs.  Uuuumm....when did dogs become second class citizens!  They're my best friends!  I'm so depressed.

In all seriousness, I understand why they don't allow them but it's sad they can't discriminate against lamb dogs and eat-your-baby dogs.  Actually, true story, we were in Fullersberg the other day and someone asked us if Hector was a lamb.  I think he was joking, but c'mon now...certainly it demonstrates his Awww qualities.

Sidenote: I did a google search for REI images and yeah...there an asian porn star named Rei.  Definitely not what I was expecting.
