Did you misunderstand my post? I don't believe that I mentioned or insinuated that dogs should be in a grocery store, let alone in a cart where food items are carried.

Please ignore all the grumpy folks telling you to leave your dog home. They are not representative, which is probably why they are so persistent.

At this point he's probably rethinking moving to TV with all the leave the dog home replies.

No one wants to eat near your dog.

There is no legitimate need for you to take your dog to a restaurant. Unless you are handicapped.

That's your opinion. I will continue to take my 12-pound dog to restaurants that permit them to be outside. He prefers being with us then staying home alone. I don't get why anti dog people would move to a pet friendly development.

No please ignore the inconsiderate people who don't care about anyone but themselves.

Just eat inside, I'll eat outside with my dog. He likes to come with me, when I go places, and I like him happy.

We left our 80-lb Golden Retriever at home both in Florida and France. In Florida it is too hot and he was definitely more comfortable at home in the a/c. In France they don't care. Inside or out, they're fine, pretty much throughout Europe. But the rooms are smaller, the tables closer together, and he didn't fit!

So read the room--er--the dog. I don't care about the people. If the restaurant permits it and your dog is well behaved/cool enough/small enough to be comfortable, go for it. People who don't like it can sit inside or go elsewhere.

Our present dog only goes to an outdoor burger joint on a river. She doesn't bother anyone, but she's doesn't have that plop-down-and-settle mentality.

It's very interesting. If you bring in a dog, must be on floor not table or chair. And, the another dog comes in and the two go crazy
It's awefull

LOL! the grumpy folks want the entitled and self appointed rules are for thee people who think that their dog and their opinion of where dogs can go beyond the rules, should follow the rules and not pretend that dogs are people or entitled to people status. .

Do us all a favor and keep you dog at home when you eat out.

Who is acting more entitled: The dog owner who asks where he can take his dog or the Villager who says forget the rules, leave the dog at home?

Who said "everywhere"?

And what about when it's cooler?

If the wife and I are out for a golf cart ride (one of our dog's favorite things to do) and we decide to stop for a bite, is that "dragging that poor animal everywhere I want to go"?

I feel I need a ruling on this...

Odd, our dog gets anxious when we leave her home alone...
