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. 

with all this web 2.0 goodness social website crap cropping up all over the place faster than you can say "poop on my face", i've come to realize that i don't really have that much in common with my friends.  i mean, on paper.  for example, my three great loves are:

1. video games
2. tech/gadgets/computer related crap
3. ufc/mma

and sadly enough, i really have no one to talk to about any of this stuff except for a very small handful of people.  i'm talking dead baby handful, i mean it's tiny.  <sigh> granted, my 4th and 5th great loves are

4. dogs
5. nature fun-ness

and btw, these are not in order of most loved.  i love them all equally. but still, how sad is that? perhaps that's why i'm always pushing invitations out my nose to people, just to get them to join me in my adventures in 1-3.  i wonder if i lived in silicon valley, if this would be different.  maybe, but then i'd be surrounded by xanga nerds and i can't stand those kids.  :)
