and “sized”.

Yep. Service animals, drug-snuffing dogs, etc are usually just crowded into a room where a book is dropped. Then they’re good to go!

Okay, I joked in another comment, but I have to know more about this cow-hugging machine!

That’s not its job. It’s supposed to grab you. And hug you. Like a cow…

I genuinely adore dogs and love seeing them anywhere I am! But places that sell and prepare food should be off-limits (except for service animals, of course. Their accessibility outweighs these concerns). Some people have super sensitive allergies, just pet dander/hairs floating through the air can be irritating or worse. Some people have a crippling fear of dogs, maybe for a reason? Pets may be fine 99% of the time around family/friends, but they’re still animals. Unlike service animals, they haven’t been tested or screened for emergency situations or stress-tested. They can and do snap, and there’s no way to know if it will happen. When it does, it’s lose/lose/lose: pain & suffering, lawsuits, and almost certainly a loving pet being euthanized.

I was about to say: Merlin was real!? Next, you’ll tell me Ric Flair is a real person! 😆

I was a cashier, then a bookkeeper during the time when both heavily used the “10-key” and got really fast at touch typing numbers. Not as fast now, but I would be absolutely lost without it for spreadsheets, calculations, etc. I wouldn’t even consider a keyboard without one!

I feel like if someone doesn’t do a TikTok remix of this… did it even happen?
