Please Don't Pet My Dog

In the campus bookstore, an employee came up and began to pet my dog.  I said, "Ma'am, please don't pet my dog, he is working."  She laughed and said, "Yeah?  So I am I!"  My fiance then said, "Right and you don't see us trying to pet you!"  She abruptly stopped petting Sheriff and stared at us, jaw dropped.  She then just walked away.  I had to try so hard not to burst into laughter.  The exchange and her reaction completely diffused my irritation with her for petting Sheriff!

   That's hilarious.
 Though when I first got Pebbles, I was asked where I got the "Do Not Pet Me, I'm Working" patch --they wanted one for while they were at work!

BEAUTIFUL!!  I'm going to have to remember that one and say "please don't pet my dog while she is working - you don't want someone petting you while you are working, do you?"  Of course, some people....
