Ok, he looked like a smiling smirking idiot. Anyone walking a large dog through the food section of Walmart is an idiot.:spoken:

That would have to be a good size stroller!

Our lab often smirks at humans after he's had a few too many at City Fire or Margarita Republic!

One of my employees was blind and required a service dog. This animal was so well disciplined that no one ever saw the animal except for when the employee entered or left the building. The animal remained under her desk .

Service animals are and must be disciplined for obvious reasons and this employee was strict about her dog's habits and people not become too familiar.

With the exception of truly bona fide service dogs I do not believe animals ought to be allowed in any stores let alone restaurants.

if I see one of these "comfort" and or " therapy" dogs in a restaurant I will call the authorities--go on line and check out all the phony credentials that are for sale

Yeah, so......but when he hits on the cute poodle on the barstool next to him, is he at least gentlemanly about that?

I was in Bed Bath and Beyond a few weeks ago, and a big dog took a "dump" right on the floor. It's time to stop the madness. I will not eat in any restaurant or shop in any store that allows animals, with the exception of true Service Dogs. I was on a Southwest flight a few months ago and had to sit next to a woman with a filthy smelly dog on her lap. Disgusting! I was told, if I didn't like it, I could take another flight. The only thing wrong with this woman was that she and the dog both needed a bath. PS I really do love dogs...I just dislike liars.

Way too much concern. I have seen dogs that have better table manners than some people or the people with screaming or loud children and do nothing about it for the entire time . I love kids but the ones with no manners have no place in a restaurant . Just one of my favorite gripes. GIVE ME THE DOG!

Yep, no problems here. Way too many other important things to worry about.
I always say, don't like it, go somewhere else.

Yesterday, a guy left his little yappy mutt in a cart at the driving range. The dog had a high pitched bark which it sent out in sets of four or five or six. It would then take a breath and send out another batch. I tried to time my swing to coincide with the taking a breath part of the routine but the dog kept mixing up his count. I couldn't bear it so abandoned the rest of my range balls and jumped in my cart. I headed to Ricciardi's hoping that any dogs eating there would be too preoccupied with their strombolis to bark.

I make fun of most things including myself,
GLOBAL WARMING-when I was akid the snow was up to my waist. Probably it is so BUT YOU WERE THREE FEET TALL AT THE TIME.
PEOPLE USED TO NOT LITTER-I recall my parents and grandparents scolding us for littering. I have recently had 16mm films that my uncle had shot transferred to DVD.
We never had a 16mm projector so had never seen them.
You could see the trash blowing around-as a kid I never saw it.
TOLERANCE FOR THE MEMEMEME PEOPLE-I wonder if there are more of them or like my old movies, I am more aware of it and less tollerant.

Read most of these threads and you will see them-do they see themselves-IT DOES NOT SEEM SO.

how about when they feed the dog off a plate and let it lick it clean.

That's the best way. Then just put it back in the cabinet. Saves water. ;) :pepper2:
