So I'm saying, I am allowed to take him in certain areas, but I don't, because my standard is generally, will this bother other people, or bother my dog. I really think that a small, non-shedding dog in an enclosed bag is not going to cause an allergy attack or cause a restaurant to get fined - I think these are extreme arguments, like saying that if you jaywalk, you could cause a horrible car accident.
It's not like I'm a career criminal, but I break rules from time to time. I do think there is a clear difference between a dog you can carry in a bag and a large one - just like, no shoes, no shirt, no service. I think it would be reasonable to change the rules that if your dog is in a bag, it's allowed. Your dog really can't be a sanitation risk at that point.
I can respect that other people disagree.
BTW, there's an easy way to avoid being bothered by kids on planes: EAR PLUGS! I never fly without 'em. |
I respect other people's opinion too, but it's hard to tell when they're legitimate arguments or just attention seeking
Like in the allergies subject, being that some one has mention that symptoms don't necessarily show up at the moment. Who's to say that the allergic episode was really because of the furbaby, then?
Take for instance; I was invited to a dinner at my in-laws once, they knew we were coming with Nini (it was only her at that time) and as soon as we got there my sister in-law's father had an allergy attack
Just by looking at Nini from the other room.
We were asked to lock Nini up in the bathroom (we didn't, of course), so we spent about an hour in the back of the house, then we left. later I found out that this man is a 'DRAMA QUEEN' who would do anything just to get attention
He's allergic to dogs, but not to his chain-smoking
I don't get it
I'll take your suggestion about the earplugs into consideration for my trip to Europe (some day), but what do you suggest for the kicking in the back of the seat
I'm coming up with a blank on that one, can't think of anything that may work
