Poetic Thankful Thursday

 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats



Today's photo prompt is

Shopping at WalMart

I went to Walmart to shop
What I saw made me stop.
I didn't expect to see a goat
Pets in the store don't get my vote.
If they're there for support it's okay.
A goat in a backpack should just stay away.


Mom is totally okay with REAL support animals but NOT okay with people who bring in all kinds of pets (especially in a place that sells food.)  What do you think?




Today is also Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!


We're THANKFUL Mom got up early and won us a firstie badge at Teddy's Tuesday Teaser!

Great poem, but I agree with only service animals.

In a pet store, any animal is welcome, but this is a bit weird.

Congrats to Mom Sharon on bing a first commenter. We think goats belong in the yard not in Walmart or any other store. Whisker kisses and love to Noelle from Sawyer.

We enjoyed your poem, and yes, we do wonder about all the odd choices for support animals.

Perfect poem! I'm quite sure that goat would much rather be in a nice field of grass then strapped to the back of some weird human!!!!

Hugs, Pam

That was a fun poem and I'm not sure about goats or other non-domestic animals in stores either. Good thankful too! Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

I am with you on no pets in stores. Almost every time I go to Walmart, someone has a dog with them and many times it is in the cart where the food goes. XO

I agree there are true working animals for those with disabilities, then there are pets, and pets should stay home unless it's a pet store, or maybe the hardware store or garden center. Those places, it wouldn't bother me.

Nice poem!
