No problem. :)

I get what you were saying.

I am dangerously close to agreeing with you----is this a blue moon?

About 80% agree---but since I love dogs I wouldn't mind a small, cute, well behaved dog---some here have posted they're better than most children. But if I were allergic to dogs I might feel differently

No idea if true or not, but the term overweight might be more appropriate than "fat"---so give that one a 50% agree

Only difference is that they don't usually eat it off the floor.

99.5% agree----I'm sure there is an occasional exception

Sorry, don't mean to offend in case you are excessively overweight

agree 100%, nice conditional

So overall, giving equal weighting to 4 sentences, looks like a 82.375% agree---quite an improvement:1rotfl:

Now look at the bright side---the dog was on the floor---he could have sat him at the table and given him a plate

You are right about taking dogs to restaurants. This dog was in no way a service dog. I was actually the only one who spoke up. I felt bad for the pup.

I didn't know that statistic about who wastes the most food. Interesting.

I'm not even 1 ounce overweight......and we are completely off topic. :)

That's great--good for you

And it's really not that far off topic---the OP was questioning whether a dog in a pharmacy was truly a service dog---no different than your restaurant experience. Besides, half the time the off topic posts are better than those addressing the OP:smiley:

Thanks for the high grades. Would never find myself in that situation since I wouldn't set foot into a Golden Corral to eat the swill they call food. Maybe overstated, but you get the idea that I wouldn't go there.

OMG---the moon must be blue---I agree 100%
Although I must say (based on the one and only time I had the misfortune to eat there before I knew better) that it is about 1 notch above the average all you can eat Chinese buffet. Of course, this brings us right back on topic about dogs:1rotfl:

Many if not most others won't figure out your conclusion. By the way, I also had the misfortune of eating there once, just once! Feel the same about Chinese Buffets. Too bad this Thread isn't about Cats.

The question is, do we need to spend a brazillion dollars on a national crackdown?
If there were a budget, I would spend it on a national program for mental disorders.

Pardon my tone. Still rankled over the ridiculous msnbc debacle.

Yes,

A budget to study the mental disorder of why the people without true service dogs feel the need to take their dog to the stores we all shop in! That would be a good study to spend money for!

Better than putting a shrimp in a tank and seeing how fast it can run on a treadmill.

When they allow them into a restaurant I get my check/pay up and leave. No one knows how clean that dog is. Might have just peed all over itself.

I can tell you for a fact that it's pretty hard for a dog to pee all over itself unless he/she is laying on its back; maybe a leg, but all over itself? Nope. However, in my career as a LEO, I saw people pee down both legs all the time. Why do you think that most police cruisers have vinyl seats for the rear seat?

Go ahead and leave the restaurant; who cares besides you and whomever you're with? It'll just open some needed seats up since our friends from the north are filtering back in.

You saw worse than that---the pee thing is a 5x/night occurrence in the ER at Kings County--10x on Saturday night

I'm really looking forward to the day a thread like this thread is posted - "Service dog owner is confronted, beats the hell out of confronter". But, that'll never happen, because the dog haters that complain about it on TOTV don't have the stones to confront the dog owners face-to-face; they wield a mean keystroke though.

I arrested 6 DUI's one night that we had a saturation on Labor Day weekend - the first one 10 minutes after my shift started at 6pm and the last one after I fueled up to go home at 3am, all 6 of them peed themselves - 2 during the field sobriety test, 1 in my unit and 3 at the booking facility.

6 for 6----you must have REALLY scared them:1rotfl:

It usually ends up that way.
