Other tourists don't seem freaked to see that many dogs in town or at the restaurants and it is a wonderful extended weekend. This is not the only event like this that I attend. We do it at Dewey Beach, DE and at the wineries in upstate NY once a year. Our dogs would NOT rather be left at home and enjoy the weekend as much as we do. They are well behaved and enjoy the attention from the people they meet. I can't speak for other dog owners or other people around the country, but what I see on TOTV is not what I have encountered in our dog weekends. We have been graciously welcomed where ever dogs are allowed. We do NOT expect to go where dogs are not permitted and do not bring them to those places. I do intend to take my dogs where dogs are permitted in TV.

I look forward to seeing you and the pups out and about. They will love it here and so will you
