I've never figured out why the board of health gets so worked up about pets being in places, but, that's just me. A lot of people talk about nasty dirty dogs, yada yada yada....

We get that a lot when we take our dogs to Menards (a home improvement store). One woman actually looked at Mike one time and asked him why he had that "dirty dog" in the store (while George sat quietly by Mike's side) while her bratty kids were running up and down aisles screaming. Mike's response, "My dog is better behaved than your kid." That sent her to the manager who promptly told her that George was allowed to visit....and their policy is that they would rather see them in the store than sitting in the car.

Now, I realize that's not a restaurant, but, it is a public place. I thought in Europe people could bring their pets to restaurants....shows you what I know. I'm actually surprised that any state in the U.S. would even consider it! Good for them!
