And that's a good thing. |

I love seeing the different breeds of dogs at the square and, Barefoot, you're right, I do get enjoyment from talking to dog owners and also from petting the dogs (with first getting the owner's permission). At a craft show in Pittsburgh, I enjoyed talking to a woman who had a wolf with her on a leash, of course. The wolf was a rescue animal. She was one of the vendors at the show. If a determination is made not to have animals at the squares, the vendors will be affected by it too (since some of them travel the country to go to these shows.) But I really hope that a "total" ban doesn't happen. It would be a shame!
