And I know you're saying you don't think we should accommodate someone who's afraid/allergic to dogs, but then why should stores accommodate people who want to shop with their dogs?

For the amount of dog lovers that would be happy about the changes, there'd be an equal number of people who would be unhappy about it.

I'm really not trying to start an argument, I'm just trying to discuss a different side of things.

I love my dogs just as much as everyone else, but I'm curious why we sometimes feel (and by we I'm including myself), a sense of entitlement to bring them everywhere, even places they aren't allowed.

Oh don't worry..everyone has a right to their own opinion And yes, it is different for those that are so allergic that they become very ill or could possibly die. And I definitely see your point about accomadating (I do not know how to spell that word ) both. Two sides to it. I understand health codes to a point but wish I could take Lacy with me more places. I'm actually okay with not being able to take her INSIDE restaurants and grocery stores, but I think dogs should be allowed to eat on the patio (outside) at any restaurant and be able to go into any stores that don't serve/sell food
