I love Hobby Lobby and all the products they sell. However, I just came from the North Port store, and many customers walking the store around had their dogs with them. I am highly allergic to dogs and cats; just being in the same room with them causes me to experience severe allergic reactions. When I left the store, my clothing smelled like dog, and my eyes, arms and legs were itching. I do not understand why people have this obsession with having their dogs constantly by their side, totally disregarding the unfortunate ones (like me) who cannot be near them (not by choice). Sorry to say, but I will not be frequenting the store as much as I used to. I will need to stick to merchandisers with no pet policies in place (again, not by choice).
