I almost feel bad I was happy to hear her snake died.

In my small are we have all dog friendly trails with bag recepticles 2 specific dog parks and dog clean up all post all over the city.

We were one if the first...or were we the first to rule no smoking in restraunts and bars.

Its really all about not imposing on others, your second hand smoke, your dog...etc.

I see your point but I dont see what a dog on the patio outside is imposing on anyone. My dogs leashes were tied to the table leg and they quietly sat there while we ate. All the time we have been there we have never seen a dog make a scene. If its because of allergies your out inthye fresh air so it seems it wouldnt be a problem

Her big argument was no one was alergic to ger snake and it had hust been fed so it was totally safe...it was friendly.

I said I was alergic to her snake and she should shoo...both times she got in anyways, but she avoided me so I was happy.

I totally agree.

I've been booted from places before too though.

I was super ticked when the photo place at the mall advertised the take your pets pic with Santa and then mall security literally escorted people to Santa and to the door.

Its really to me all about how people inform you you can't have your dog.

Wow that would tick me off too. Yea they can let you know you cant bring them in without being crappy about it. Just show a little kindness even though you have to tell them there dogs not allowed in

It was ridiculous!

It was busy so manu people brought their kids and pets so there was a 10-20groutless minute line wait after pics get your photos printed.

Security wanted ppl to go to tgeir cars with their pets then come back for pics.

I was like no we're here in line I'm holding my dog then we're going directly to the door to leave.

One security clown tried to get everyone to leave in a group he'd escort...it didn't work out too well for him.

required by who, not by the US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division as written in their disability Rights Section. I am sure it makes life easier for those with service dogs, if they were a patch, but it is not mandatory

I can hardly believe they would go to the trouble! It's almost funny when you think about it. Might as well make a similar set up on the other side of the store front with a second sign saying they love kids and line up a bunch of little kids' chairs and a cookie jar!

oppps 5 min rule got me, could not edit my post. I meant wear a patch, LOL I am old school and picky about my posts cause I hate ones that are all misspelled and hard to understand

I reread it again on animal law.com

In 2008 it was supposed to ve required and did not pass.

So yep anyone can just say they have a service dog and that's that apparebtly they only recomend you get the tags and patch.

So...the manager at my local target is a big fibber!

Interesting that anyone could just lie and call their dog a service dog for their disability and walk right into any establishment with them! I didn't know the animal didn't have to have some type of identifying badge or vest or anything until I read that link! Stil, I don't imagine too many cheat on this surely. On the other hand, the disabled have enough trouble getting about and going out without having to remember to have the dog "up to code" so to speak, too, I'm sure.

I hope that old woman has nightmares about snotty, runny nosed little yelling, nasty kids, sneezing and coughing and spitting all over the fruit and veggies that she has to EAT, while from inside a little purse, she is being watched by two little sweet Yorkie eyes!!!!!!!!

Very funny!!! All I can say is that Karma will catch up to them!

I didnt know the service dogs didnt have to wear a vest with a patch on it. Every time I have seen one they have had it on. It seems like it would save hastles and confusion if they did
