There should be a limit on how often one person can reply on a subject.

This is one of your earlier postings. But I do know my dog. I know when she is stressed. And it's not curled up at my wife's feet at an outdoor restaurant...

As I said I have no problem with dogs accompanying their owner at an outdoor restaurant, but if your dog is stress out it could be it does not want to be there.
If on the other hand the dog is stress whenever he/she is apart from your wife, you have a bigger problem.

For the life of me why would you need to take your dog to a restaurant.

It's called "following the rules" of the restaurant...

NO ONE is suggesting that anyone ignore those rules...

I was describing the grumpies, and their complaining about dog owners taking dogs beyond where the rules are allowed. .

I think we agree. . but are you one of the grumpies?

My Catahoula, is 18 months old and very well trained. If I tell her to sit and stay, she will. I’ve actually gotten many compliments from people on how well she behaves.

Just looking for clarification. If we don't want to eat with your dog and voice are unhappiness with having to do it, we are grumpy, but if you don't want to leave your dog at home and express your unhappiness with people asking you to do it, you are not being grumpy?

Look I understand many people want their dogs with them at all times and I also understand that many people do not want to be sitting next to a dog eating their meal. Let's put aside what the people want. To be honest if I were a dog one of the last places, I would want to be is in a restaurant watching other people eat. That to me is cruel unwarranted punishment. I think I would rather be chasing squirrels.

Did I say or imply that was the "ONLY TIME" she is not stressed?

Or did I say and imply that when she was curled up at my wife's feet, at an outdoor restaurant, she is not stressed...

You are inferring something I did not say nor imply...

Start your own forum and make that rule...

Because, sometimes, when we're out with our dog, we get hungry...

In those cases, we seek out a dog friendly restaurant...

Sounds to me they are "Happy" to be with their dog...

Are you "Sneezy" if you see a dog?

Me? I'm typically known as "Doc"...

Actually, this entire thread is getting "Dopey"...

Again, the fallacy of "at all times"...

Who is actually is suggesting that?

If it's cruel for a dog to have to watch other people eat in a restaurant, is it also cruel for them to watch you eat when at home?

But at home you have access to their food, and they can eat while you're eating.

Not if you feed your dog at set times...

Your dinner time may not coincide with their feeding time...

Hence, the dogs that "beg at the dinner table"...

I'm sure you can figure some justification for your point of view, but at home even if there is a set schedule feeding time you can give your dog a treat or feed him from the table. If you think people are going to be upset that there is a dog inside a restaurant, I can only imagine what their reaction would be to you see you feeding your dog off your plate while they're eating.
