To the couple who brought their poodle to the waiting room of Malibu Urgent Care Center where I was waiting for nice Dr. Frankel to sew up my arm…what were you thinking? I love dogs as much as the next guy. Maybe even more. But it’s not the vet’s office. It’s a place where sick and injured people, as well as asthmatics who are allergic to animals, want to find comfort-not a barking dog. You could have waited outside in the car, it was a balmy afternoon and your wife did not appear ill, maybe time for Botox? Then you added insult to injury when you pushed past the polite nurse who asked you four times not to bring the dog into the exam area, and you did anyway. There’s a special name for people like you.
