Back in Prague?

So, I was shopping at one of my favorite stores (Target) yesterday, and thought I was going crazy. I've been pretty sick the last couple days, which means I've been on some serious medication. I thought that may have been the culpret. I was in the sunglass section (since my previous oh-so-cute-$5 glasses broke the day before), trying on some new $5 glasses, when I could have sworn I heard a dog bark. What in the world? Am I having a flashback to being in Prague. The following is the conversation I had with myself:

"Wait, is that a dog I hear?" (Looking over my shoulder at a lady playing with watches)
"Ooooooh, that's cute...a watch that makes sounds like a dog!" (Hearing the "bark" again.)
"Man, that REALLY sounds like a real dog...the watch can't be THAT good...Can it?" (I take a look at the watch lady, then notice the watch lady staring at a suspicious lady in the aisle next to us. Guess it's not the watch lady...)
"I think the barking is coming from the suspicious lady!"

Lo and behold, there was the dog. I was scrambling in my purse for my camera, but couldn't find it. By this time crowds are definitely gathering. I walk over to another section, and see 3 Target employees cowering, almost hiding from the dog lady. They were asking each other if it was ok to have dogs in the store. NO! I wanted to scream. Are you crazy? Are dogs ever allowed in stores? This is America! Maybe these people had just got back from living overseas as well...

Well, I left before I saw the resolution, but I did hear an announcement over an employees walkie talkie that the dog lady had to go because she was disturbing the costumers...thank you Lord for being in America.
