That is one of the reasons I had to get a none-shedding dog. I can't imagine what it would be like to try to eat an expensive meal sitting one table over from some of the shedders I have seen out with their owners whose clothing is so hairy! I'd have to get up and leave with my ultra weak stomach - and I would not pay for that meal. I really love my Tibbe to death but I find other ways to enrich his life and mine other than taking him to restaurants. The worst of it is, I think he would be miserable in a closed up carrier smelling all that good food, salivating like crazy as he listens to us cutting and chewing food. My little dog would hate it. And knowing Tibbe, he would growl at some of the sounds he'd hear that he didn't approve of! |
Im the same way if im at a restaurant and I get a hair in my mouth I will start gagging to the point of throwing up. I know people on here just justify it by saying there dog is nonshedding but Im sure some dogs that are small and do shed are being sneaked into restaurants also. I fully understand why restaurants and grocery stores dont want pets in there. I also wanted to say to the person that said that parents of screaming kids have an obligation to leave and not disrupt others. You have a obligation to restaurant patrons not to take your dog in where its not allowed and disrupt someoned dinner. Especially someone with extreme allergies
