Actual Doggie Dining Proposed
 

According to a media source, dog dining at Square 1 Burgers has been proposed by Square 1 to the Wildwood City Commission.

There would be a special menu for dogs. This, of course, would only be allowed on the Outside Patio area not inside dinning. Apparently Square 1 Burgers and Bar has something similar at some of their other restaurants.

I just wonder what the Servers think of such an ordinance permitting dogs to dine alongside their owners and other customers? Will they give the food directly to the dog or give it to the owner to serve the dog?

Lots of public health issues and who is going to enforce the rules and regulations concerning such activities?

This ordinance, if approved, will certainly elevate Fido's status in TV. :icon_wink:

Oh my, here it goes again!

Lol I was thinking the same thing. This could get ugly.

Maybe, just maybe............all the posts won't be repeated.


:boxing2::boxing2:

I'll take the "over".

Seems there are several of these places in Los Angeles. Los Angeles Restaurants featuring special Menus for Dogs - Los Angeles LA | Examiner.com

Los Angeles has Public Health Guidelines for Outdoor Dog Dining -- http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/vet...ngComplete.pdf

There are many reasons for, or for not, patronizing a restaurant. In this instance it is dogs permitted and dining on the patio. If I feel this is a negative I simply cross it off my dining destinations. In doing so I will make room for someone to bring their dog to dine with them.

There are dozens (hundreds) of restaurants readily available to us. They cater to numerous customer bases. One of them is catering to people who want to dine on the patio with their dogs and I feel that is no big deal.

I would hope this thread does not "get ugly". Threads that turn acrimonious do great harm to our image.

Great post.

Having the legal permit is key.

Maybe they could change the restaurant name to "Pooch's Paradise", "Doggie Delight" or "Fido's Feast". :doggie:

I agree one hundred percent. No reason to get ugly.

Thanks for the notice. We will cross "Square-One" off our list of places to go to.

According to their website, all their other central Florida locations are doggie friendly; Brandon, two in Sarasota, St Pete, Tampa, and Fort Myers.

Reading of these threads before posting will avoid repeating.

:popcorn::doggie:

Sweet ! ! ! !

:1rotfl::1rotfl:

You could always dine inside. Just sayin'.

Why are you crossing them off already? It's not a done deal...

Will There Be a Yappie Hour Too?
 

I'm more interested (not really) why someone would post that they are crossing something off their list. If they cross it off their list, just do it and do it privately...........what's the point of the broadcast??

Oh Well.

That's pretty funny Skyguy!

Its just like the post "I ate there once, didn't like it, never again". I can never figure that one out either............who really cares.
There is no point!

Does that mean the number of Doggies Under the Influence (DUIs) will increase?

Yes. Yes it will. All kaos will break out. Stay indoors.

Had to look that one up.

So, ??

Maybe it's the Criminal Spy Agency in the Get Smart show.

I believe the poster meant ...chaos ..........

There have been several Threads regarding dogs and restaurants. See post #13 for a list provided by Bogie Shooter.

Its pretty obvious that many residents of TV love their dogs and want to take them with them wherever they go including the Squares and some to the restaurant. Others love their dog and prefer to leave them at home.

What makes Square 1 Burger's proposal different from all other restaurants in TV is you could take your dog and they propose to offer a menu for dogs at their outside patio. In others words, you will be able to not only eat a meal your dog can too. This is very different now that the dog will be eating on the patio too.

I have observed that a dog can and sometimes does becomes very aggressive around what is their food. Get too close to their food and some will snap or bite you thinking someone might be taking their food. My own dog didn't even like me "messing" with his food after I had given it to him.

We rarely eat on the restaurant patio because of the smoke. A dog eating on the patio sounds to me like an accident ready to happen. I hope a Server isn't hurt.

Yes. I did mean chaos.

Really?

dog friendly on the patio!!!

A non event in most civilized countries of the world......AND for the most part here too.

I am sure Square One's experience in their other locations are a testament to the practice NOT affecting their business.....why else would they do so here.....because for the most part it will be a non event and for some even a +!

JustJim, tsk tsk! You aren't normally an instigator...:shocked:

How about Square 1 Barkers?

Since Gracie isn't here I just gotta say it...BOY HOWDY!! Here we go again! There are dog friendly restaurants everywhere in the US and other parts of the world. Get over it! If it concerns you, don't go there. Most likely you won't even notice the prescence of the pet.

ugly. that's what my grandmother called it. boy, you didn't want to hear her say, "don't be ugly."...what a saint.
anyway, for a buck and a half at convenience stores while I gas up, I get a 20 oz drink and emma gets a hot dog. we go somewhere she can relax without a leash and enjoy her boon.
frankly, I don't want the hassle of dog v. dog communication when there's food involved.
We just all live too close together, dearest friends. Let's go to the country and breathe some air.

I'm just curious...you are not a villager who is also crossing off square one? I must be missing the point.

we would be the one who's dog would bark and drive everyone nuts, and upset those inside who were not dining with their dog...i don't think i could in good faith take my dog there if he could ruin someone else dinner..

Can I bring a cat???

:icon_hungry::icon_hungry:

And that makes you a responsible dog owner, but there are many dogs in The Villages that could handle this situation no problem so why shouldn't they be welcomed to dine at Square 1 on the patio???

I wouldn't bring mine either 'cause I know they wouldn't behave properly, but I certainly enjoy seeing the well behaved pooches enjoying their time out.

Yawn!:icon_bored:
