They do this annually and literally have hundreds of dogs and their people attend and, to the best of my knowledge, there are no dogfights or major problems because each year more and more stores and restaurants open their doors to us. 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.

Amen, LTBD. This dog-on-resto-patio lament is getting so old.

I'd prefer being exposed to pets in restaurants than humans that never wash their hands, etc. Get over it.........they're dogs..not harmful, nasty creatures!!!!

OK, am glad that toojays and other restaurants enforce the no dogs rules. i have no desire to sit and dine where there are dogs. just as i have no desire to sit and dine where there is smoking. now, if we could just relegate families with children to some sort of "special room" i would be satidfied.

Yeah. Right. And "now if you could just relegate" 100,000 old people to some sort of "nursing home", the town would be yours.....to enjoy like a cemetery where it is quiet and nobody is living.

It was "sarcasm intended".

my dog LOVES going out to eat...he just sits under tha table...and bothers no one !!!!!this is suppose to be PET FRIENDLY !~!!!!!

Oh, boo hoo hoo. Original point was that the restaurant I was at did NOT allow dogs on the patio. It wasn't a question of whether or not me or any other patrons did or did not want to break bread with the dog. Get over yourselves and your entitlement issues.

I am so sick of the typical answer to every issue on this board. People are told to relocate, ask to be reseated, get a life, and get over rudeness! Excuse me, I think I need to rope off a section of chairs or something.

I think our country is going to the dogs in more ways than one.

I agree with you both. Nothing against dogs, I just do not wish to dine with them.
