I don't understand why people drag tiny babies out to restaurants to be exposed to germs and possibly offend [quote]

I imagine people take small childeren/babies into the "real world" to build their immune systems.... That's why i did it with my kids, and now my grand babies.. They are never ill/sick as, what I bevieve to be, a direct result of visits to Home Depot, Walmart, and restaurants starting as infants.
Furthermore... I personally have never been offended by a child/baby in a public establishment, only by thier parents in some occasions..

Back to the topic..
I live with 3 dogs. I love my dogs. They are all abused rescues and I would do anything for them with in the limits of "good taste"..
Bringing an amimal to any place that raw food marerial is being handled or served is an act of poor judgement. I personally, am offended to see special needs animals in these places as well, but compassion for those that need the assistance helps me get past it... I am involved with several restaurants and other business' to one capacity or another and do not permit animals at any of them... Boxofan is absolutely right... there are some places that our furry friends need to aviod... and we as responsible owners need to be mindful of that...
