To be sick of dogs in cafes/restaurants etc

[Dreamingi]

Just this really
obviously not service dogs

but why all of a sudden is it ok for dogs to be allowed places where others are eating?!?

You didn't have to - MN deleted your vile post.

My last dog stressed so much when we left her to go on holiday that she pooed blood. We never left her again because it wasn't fair on her.

My BILs both have cats so the dog can't go there. My MIL wouldn't look after any let longer than a couple of hours. My parents would but their dog got attacked by an out of control dog, nearly died and unsurprisingly became quite dog reactive. And I don't trust my sister to look after herself so she's out.

So, dog came with us. She was always impeccably behaved and if she was having a moment we'd take her out of wherever. I've also done that with DD, much like a PP I will always remember carting her out under my arm screeching. Dog usually better behaved than most kids I've met tbh.

Sometimes, dogs can't be left. And as owners we've made a commitment by bringing them into our families.

🙄

Or stop taking dogs?! Humans get preference over dogs in human eating establishments.

The point is that you sound delightful.

Why would people stop taking dogs into places were the owners of the business welcome dogs?

Nope. And fortunately, you don’t get to choose!!!

Not according to OP.

If dogs are allowed then nothing wrong is happening.

Because we are a dirty nation. Most people do not remove shoes the moment they come into the house - and refer to others who do it as 'ethnic'. Very strange. People do not wash their hands before they sit down to eat in a restaurant - in they come from the dirty outside and eagerly start pawing the bread basket, etc. Hospital visitors are not offered plastic shoe covers - remember, perish the thought net zero is not on track for the NHS, ward doctors walk around the ward in outdoor shoes, as do nurses and auxiliaries, who, when changing patients' beds, routinely drag bed linen on the floor when changing it (short nurses and auxiliaries). A regular occurrence - when on the train I observe how people take their shoes off and walk the length of the carriage to the toilet (!!!!!) in their socks. Toddlers crawl on floors in shops and airports. Dogs with their dirty arses sit on fabric-upholstered sofas, cats go outside for a shit and bird massacre and come back in to have a nap on the pillow (awww, so sweet). Teachers don't tell pupils to wash their hands before lunch, etc. etc. Frankly, dogs in cafes are the least of our hygiene worries - I am frankly surprised we have not all succumbed to non-stop diarrhoea.

Oh god no DOGS are very important more important than humans so it seems

We lived opposite a pub, my family never went in. DGF went to the British Legion for half a pint on a Sunday late morning then home in time for lunch cooked by DGM. We never, ever went, it wasn't considered suitable children.

My favourite farm shop allows dogs. I don't mind those that are well behaved, but there have been instance of dogs piddling on the floor. Yeuch.

Thank you for your consideration.
you understand that hair goes everywhere.

Humans, even children, don't have any right to be in a restaurant or cafe. The owner of the establishment can decide on their clientèle.

With humans like you it’s no wonder people turn to dogs

Exactly
Because at the end of the day they are dogs,animals,and behave as such.

Except in restaurants that specifically say they welcome dogs. In those places dogs get preference over humans that don't like dogs. By decree of the owner who has the right to decide.

Not rubbish at all. Why on earth would I make that up? The town is mostly an area without cars except delivery vans so traffic isn’t too much of a concern. But it’s still a pain for my client when they’re off the lead and he gets very nervous. (I say this as a dog owner, but I wouldn’t dream of letting my dog off the lead in a town).

Frankly? The vast majority of dogs are WAY nicer than you. If I had an arsehole dog I wouldn’t take it out. Perhaps apply the same to yourself.

With humans who make a complete judgement of someone they don’t know and never will know from a forum post

oh yikes that’s you
idiot

People aren't taking dogs everywhere. Only the places that they're welcome. There's plenty of places they aren't.

Either accept the place you want to go welcomes dogs or choose a different place from the very long list of places that dogs aren't.

As for allergies and phobias - serious, ie life threatening allergies to dogs are really really rare.

However they are also a 'you' problem, not an 'everyone elses problem' - thats blunt and I realise lots of people won't like it at all, but thats the truth of it.

If everyone had to behave in a way that could not possibly trigger someones allergy or phobia, given the number of things that could trigger either, no one would be able to go out or do anything.

I say this as someone with a couple of allergies (albeit relatively easy to avoid) and a huge phobia of wasps (seriously, I will get out of my wheelchair and run and I can't walk so this involves me splatting to the floor, it is that severe.) So it isn't as if I have no experience of negotiating life out in public with allergies/phobias!

Oh goody. Another one of these. It’s been at least 45 minutes since the last time someone complained 🙄

I didn’t realise we knew each other.
