Lol. That's okay, I haven't a clue what a bugger sandwich is, and I don't think I'll google it. The idea that it's an actual food is a better image for my delicate ladylike sensibilities.
I almost caused a scene in my vet office the other week. While waiting for Ori's appointment for his booster, there was a woman around my age who was carrying in this tiny little black fuzzy puppy in her arms. Only 8 weeks old, but I was in the midst of a large panic attack (I'm getting over severe agoraphobia and it was a tough trip) and so I clung to the confidence to ask her about it. When I asked what breed she was, she replied with "Schnoodle". I was speechless for a second and just replied with "aww, she's adorable." In my head I was just...you know, I'm not even gonna. Amusingly enough, I thought of Y!As.
Afterward though, on the trip back home, my parents caught every single word of my rage rant about it. The sad thing is here, it's not all that easier to find the information. I've had to be the voice of reason to most people around here. My mother certainly doesn't like it as a few of her friends are BYBs and she feels the need to defend their actions. But oh well, I just call it like I see it. Except with strangers in vet clinics...
However, there's a community gathering at my local council around the corner later this month, I've been thinking of what I might be able to contribute with about it. Maybe offering to start a neighborhood awareness campaign or something. Maybe I'll do another thread about that though. It's a pity I'm not a well-experienced trainer, I'd offer free training classes at the center as well as an info-drive.
