Everyone loves my dogs and if they don't they can keep it to themselves. It's all good.

I sure wonder if my new pit bull will love them too???

Never saw a dog on an European Vacation but did see Chevy Chase.

In Dunedin there are many establishments that allow dogs on the patio. It must be at an individual towns discretion.

Look at " Post " #22, #23, #24 that pretty much answers the question. Now what Dunedin has to do with the Villages Restaurants is a mystery to me, and why you even brought it into the discussion is pointless.

What does your post #3 asking what LOL means have to do with Villages Restaurants.

I heard that in China you see a lot of dogs in restaurants early in the day. After lunch, not so much.

This is the kind of remark that I might expect out of one of the Moderators who was having a really really bad day.

Not that I want to keep this Post going, but getting back to Cody's, and the sanitary requirements for doggies, employees etc. We had gone to Cody's about a month or so, and we wanted to sit outside. The chairs had bird poop on them, (both the backs and seats) so we elected to sit inside. Just a statement!! Hopefully they power wash every day. Not trying to start another thread, or continue on with this one. Enjoy your day!!

Think this is interesting about outdoor seating? How about on a US flight, some airlines allow up to 6 dogs, cats, birds and rabbits on the plane (yes - in the passenger compartment). It's like a zoo up there in the skies now.

Dressing down a group by calling them People is demeaning. There are dogs all over the place in restaurants in every first world country except the US, but that is slowly changing. I thought the fl law left it up to the individual restaurant to decide if dogs are allowed outside.

And no stranger, who's never met my dog, can tell me what he's thinking. I know what he likes and doesn't like from living with him and watching his reactions.

We don't take our dog to restos because he's too big. If you don't like having a dog around you while dining out, you can always go to a restaurant that doesn't permit it.

Wow...really? And if you don't like smokers, or any other annoyance, how about going somewhere else?

Yesterday, at the square, I was waiting for a lady friend at the public restroom. There was a guy with a teacup sized dog on a long leash right in the middle of the crown going to and from the restrooms. The dog was on a long leash and several people were taken aback as they were surprised, and had to navigate around this dog/leash right in the middle of the comings and goings. One man made a hrumph sound, showing his displeasure after almost tripping on the 10ft leash. The guy with the dog actually said "we've got Mr grumpy here today precious". I couldn't believe the cluelessness, or lack of respect, this man had. I almost laughed loudly out loud when I heard his comment. Please, keep your animal home, they don't belong at public gatherings.

You are actually right when you say that Precious' owner was clueless. If Mr. Grumpy had taken a fall on the long leash, Precious might have had to start begging for dog food after the lawsuit.

I like the dogs on the squares and do not recall them being in the way. However, it probably does happen sometimes. Be careful.

Well, you all know where I stand on this... If dogs are allowed I'm bringing them. If smoking is allowed I'm doing it. If a bunch of cranky people don't like it, OH WELL, $ucks to be them.

You know, I initially tried to be less annoying to others, but I accept that it will always be something with the pilly folk..

Years ago my shrink told me to do what makes me happy, just followind Doctors orders.
