I get it that people want the convenience of riding around with Fluffy in the cart and stopping off for dinner with pooch underfoot. So what can we do to compromise with reality??
Get food you can take out and have a picnic. Fluffy will love it.

Many Villagers get intense satisfaction and enjoyment in Chronic Complaining!!

Totally agree with you Kitty!

We used to take our little puggie Chester out for golf cart rides all the time. Just the look on his face confirmed that he thought that the golf cart was the greatest invention that us crazy humans ever produced.

We used to head out to the polo grounds and park under a nice shady tree and have a picnic. Wine and cheese for us and some water and doggie treats for him. (OK, some bits of cheese for Chester too) :)

Again, O/T and a personal attack.

The elephant in the room is liability and lawsuits and I see no recognition of such problems shown in my earlier post from the Miami newspaper on the server having her lip torn by the dog while giving it a bowl of water, and her having 300 stitches and hours of surgery, pain and probably disfigurement and flashbacks.

If your dog or my dog bites a visitor or the A/C repairman in our homes, we are going to be hit with the liability of that person's claims and lawsuits, and our homeowner insurance will be hit and maybe cancelled. We know our own dogs' reliability for staying friendly to other people coming into our homes, but a restaurant owner, employees and patrons have no way of knowing which patrons are realistic about their dog's behavior and obedience, and which ones are not.

The liabilities of the bar serving drunks and having to cut them off before they leave and kill somebody DUI with the car/cart are already a huge thing to have to insure for, without a pet dog starting out as friendly but going berserk when a stranger makes a simple friendly gesture to him.....
