She ‘dines’ with you huh. What is it, kibble for the main course and butthole for dessert? Do you offer her a port after as an aperitif?

She rarely eats kibble and the kibble we buy is more than homemade so I make her food and freeze it. And, she shares my food depending on what. What’s the big deal feeding your dog real food?

No one wants your dog in a restaurant. Disgusting.

I don't have a dog, but I'm curious. Why? If the dog lays by their table, and doesn't come in contact with either you, your food, or food preparation in general, what's disgusting about it?

It is illegal in almost all jurisdictions for a reason. Why do you think Health Departments have banned animals (with the exception of actual service animals - which was forced on them by the ADA.)?

This is an amazing post. I can actually picture the dog and its oblivious Boomer owners doing all these things. lol

Not true. The generation above you didn’t do this shit. So I don’t mind them.

This is true. My grandparents were late end of the Greatest Generation and lived in Leisure World for decades (90s to their death in the early 2010's). Rarely saw dogs or pets in their community.

My Boomer mother recently moved to a retirement community and the place is overrun with f#cking dogs. My Boomer MIL owns an oceanside vacation condo and while they have strict dog rules, there's always some Boomer or Millennial renter getting caught breaking them and throwing a hissy fit when security enforces the rules. HOA is constantly issuing fines to owners with dogs.

Of what use is a baby?

After 7-8 years of feeding, can become helpful on the farm or the textile mill.

Because health departments are full of officious idiots who enjoy being authoritarians in their fiefdom.

There’s no legitimate reason to keep dogs out of restaurants. Dog owners aren’t keeling over dead and restaurants around the world don’t somehow have inferior health standards to your dear Applebees or wherever you choose to sit your fatass on a Friday night - yet many allow dogs.

Lol. What a load of nonsense. The problem is your sense of entitlement. I’d probably be ok with the dog hanging out if you weren’t with it.

Lol as though anyone in a health department now is the one who created rules against dogs in restaurants. Please. This has been the norm for ever.

Even if dogs where legally allowed in restaurants most restaurants would ban them because it poses too many potential problems. Yes there is health concern and the unsanitary aspects of dogs -- they walk around on the ground all day and get feces and pee on their paws and then they touch their owners with their paws or climb around in their owners cars and all those particles get transferred -- it's gross. Plus a lot of dogs shed a lot. Is the risk of illness super high -- no. But the ick factor is high for a lot of us. Same reason I don't want to eat somewhere that people are barefoot or shirtless. It's unappetizing.

And then on top of that you have the issues of allergies and the potential that a dog could cause some other issue becasue they are in fact animals not people. Sure most dogs don't bite but how do you screen for that -- some dogs are aggressive and it's easier to just say "no dogs" then try to discern this. Dogs can also behave in unexpected ways and because they are close to the ground you run the risk of them tripping an employee or customer or running into someone. Even just having an enthusiastic dog wag it's tail could jostle a table and spill something or the tail winds up going in someone's food or something. No one is going to die but people are paying to be there and it's just adding an element of chaos that it's not worth it to deal with.

And while I don't like comparing dogs and kids all the time the truth is that kids aren't allowed everywhere and for similar reasons. This is why you see kids at the library but not at bars on a Saturday night (and why most bars don't let you bring in kids especially not at peak hours). It's just common sense. Some places are not appropriate for dogs just as some places are not appropriate for babies or your 90 year old grandma or whatever.

Op must be too young to realize that they will likely hit this stage of life, too.

Is this the OP of the thread about dogs being everywhere?

Check your ageism -- because this is absolutely not a "boomer" thing. It's a people-with-dogs thing.

I will, at least. Not sure about you all.
