I get what some of you guys and girls are saying.
My point is Ive watched my dog attempt to eat his own dog poop,sniff other butts and roll in the dirt.
Imo "That's dirty" then to bring him or her into a store
I can't buy it.

How about bringing a little lap dog into a restaurant and letting it sit on a dinning table??

I thought it was gross and not very sanitary. Others disagreeded and thought no big deal, including the dog owner

The only thing I feel a little uncomfortable (and yet funny), is the way most black people are afraid of dogs. Black women and kids look like they have seen a ghost whenever my sweet white lab comes around the corner. I suppose it is something to due to the fact of so many of them being exposed to pit bulls and fighting dogs. At least that is what someone told me once.

My mom was terrified of dogs, so I sympathize a little with people who seem so afraid of them.
I have other reasons for being afriad of dogs.

Point being, dogs should not be generally allowed in areas where food is out or prepared. I know dog lovers can't get that concept.

Service animals are another matter.

For the same reason it's common to get tailgated, cut off (and also sometimes flipped off) on the local roads. There are many self centered twits out there.

You got it. It seems that here in the good ol US of A in 2010 we have a new lack of culture and respect of our laws now. It's all about me. Go spend a day in court just sitting, you won't believe how stupid some of the cases are and the excuses to the cases.

Oh, I was so pissed of over this. I have two English Bulldogs. We were going to a restaurant on our way back home from LA with them. They allow dogs, but you have to sit next to the barricade and the dogs sit outside of it. That's fine, I understand health rules. We wait almost an hour for one of those tables to become available. We get in there, and in the middle of the room, sits a woman with a Yorkie on her lap and it's licking the food of her plate! I lost it. So my dogs are a health code violation but because hers fits in a purse it's not? Rules are rules, right? I negatively reviewed that guy in several places and he's emailed me several times to try to get me to remove those reviews. Not gonna happen. I hope he got a visit from the health department.

I don't expect my dogs to be allowed in supermarkets, inside actual restaurants, etc., and don't bring them. I bring them to pet stores, Ace Hardware (they encourage you to do so here) and Home Depot. I love 'em to death, but they are dogs and really don't belong in a food store.

Wasn't gonna comment on the black people thing other than myself lol

And yeah, people are incredibly stupid these days. I see no reason for me to have spent all those years in school only to be surrounded by idiots lol
