The conversation I had with the man in the pet shop went like this:

"Do you ever let people  .. play with the puppies??"

"No"

He then went on to give me some hokum excuse about the puppies having nap time, and not wanting to over-excite them because it takes 30 minutes for them to go back to sleep. I mean...does it matter?? They're puppies! Being awake and cute is what they do, so why does it matter if they are awake for 30 minutes?!


Whatever, pet shop man. Fascist.
