it comes down to common sense guys. I hate to say it, but if you have a loud yorkie, or dog in general, then i wouldnt even try to sneak it, let alone even attempt it. I am lucky enough to live in germany where its allowed to bring your dog pretty much anywhere, regardless of how roudy it gets (sometimes that sucks!). My girl is as quite as can be when we are out. she doesnt bother anyone. only thing is she wants to sit in my lap. she doesnt like the floor. so when we go out to eat they usually allow her to sit in my lap b/c she's so small, but i have been asked to put her on the floor once and i glady obliged (sp?). It all comes down to personal preference though. Some people find it gross that a dog is allowed in a resturant... because they are not a dog owner themselves. You will even find yorkie owners not liking other dogs... because they dont like hair. I see both ways. But fortunatly, i like all dogs

...
Just my 2 cents on the situation.. I dont find it "Selfish and Inconsiderate". Ps... I am "Selfish and Inconsiderate" :P
