Peak Austin right here, folks

At the Mueller HEB picking up some candy for the office. Two women each walking their dogs in the bulk aisle area. A mom is getting some trail mix and her pre-school aged kid goes, “Puppies!” and reaches down to pet the dogs.

The chihuahua-looking one snaps at him and growls, and he of course starts crying. The two women pick up their dogs and silently walk on as the mom consoles the scared but thankfully not bitten kid.

Not 3 steps later one woman says to the other, “God, why do people have to take their kids like everywhere!”
