I was at the Spanish Springs store seated on the patio, enjoying a lovely TV afternoon, when the hostess seated a party at the next table. Our tables were along the railing; I was facing in their direction the group was comprised of what appeared to be a mother, daughter, grandchild, and dog.

Before I could even explain to my lunch partner what was happening (he's not on TOTV- hence, no shorthand as in, "Gasp! dog! patio!") the hostess explained that the doggie could not be on the patio dining area. What was cool was that she also immediately offered a solution. She suggested that poochie could sit outside on the sidewalk on the other side of the railing from their table. They had a leash so this worked. It was a perfect temp day with a breeze so the dog enjoyed itself there. Probably not so much had it been very warm. BTW, I thanked the hostess as she passed by our table.

Grandson screamed throughout the entire meal Scheesh! (Fodder for another thread).

Please, just leave your poor dog at home if you're dining out! It will thank you for it!

So will the screaming grandson, Carol!
