Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, Relationship Advice, and Parking Etiquette

I had no problem w/this young lady (I mean couple) bringing their pup to their local Irish Pub on St. Paddy's day to share a pup-sized Guinness...



... now you want to talk about what's NOT appropriate to bring to your local food establishment??? In this case, it's the douchy boyfriend w/that stupid hat on his head; should've left him at home!!!!

 

Never. It’s an all or nothing and cannot be all…

 

that's outside? right?

 

And grocery stores. Or even Target. Not a grocery store as a stand alone but they do sell groceries, pillows, towels... A lot of people are allergic to dogs dander so they don't belong unless you need them there for your actual service.

Home Depot? Still subjective but also still unnecessary. It's not like you need them there for their opinion about what electrical box you need or which color blinds would look best...

 

3 car pile-up in a construction zone (no shoulder) that was already going slow b/c of an earlier accident 2miles down the road.

 

Would…if they let Bassnectar play

 

Yes, but it is a food establishment patio, and it does have places to sit down...

 

this is my general disposition.

it's a dog.

I've had dogs all my life.

I know what dogs are.

when we were little, did we bring dogs to a food joint?

no.

we were smarter than that.

 

What if the 'service' they provide is putting giant holes in human flesh when deemed necessary

 

outside area is fine. kinda.

but you are rubbing the edges of civility

 

that's called a Glock.

 

Allowed

 

When you were little did people drive electric cars

 

You're a fucking riot. I'm laughing my ass off right now.

 

no they drove big ass v8's without pollution control.

that's another discussion.

 

Were they able to achieve sub 3 second 0-60 times???

 

What does a dj play?

 

no, but they had soul.

 

Correct. That’s the right application of technology.

 

If the dog is well mannered/trained, I have no problem with it.

Your average dog is a better person than your average person. They should be treated as such.




In all seriousness, it should be up to the business. I can tell you, I would actively patronize a dog friendly business for 99% of any business I conduct so long as the dogs were expected to be well behaved.

 

This is the slippery slope. Dogs are raised by humans and your average human sucks in regard to how to be a human to other humans in a social setting. You've already pointed this out. Of the myriad of dogs I see on our patio, where we do allow dogs, they tend to act like their me first selfish human owners. Maybe 3/10 dogs are trained well enough to be well mannered and the "bad dogs" aren't the problem. It's the human who trained, or shall we say didn't train, their dog.

Now obviously some like @Tripleconpanna or others who take training their dogs seriously, I have no qualms with those dogs in our businesses. But we all know those people are in the minority. So I'm a no your dog that is barking at me doesn't belong in target kinda guy.

 

Nope.

an eating establishment is no place for a canine.

it was never considered as decent....until recently....as civility decayed.

 

Nice

 

About 15 years ago the eagle county health inspector was issuing citations to businesses for allowing dogs on patios. It's a health code and only service dogs were allowed.

 

Thanks man. Appreciate the high five and comments.

 

<scratching in notebook>
@LarryDangerfield does not follow directions.


disregard clearly marked service animals.

 

It's not crazy when you run a food service business. It's your obligation to manage that business for the entire community. And also a requirement of you as a proprietor to maintain your annual license. If you get a violation for allowing non service based dogs in your establishment you can have your license revoked.

 

here is where I stand firm.

say I'm eating in a food joint.

and you and your dog come sit next to us.

I, in no way:

know the disposition of your dog
want to sit next to a dog
want to eat next to your dog
think it's proper to eat next to a dog.

and the rub is....the folks with dogs NEVER ask the nearby folks if it's ok to sit next to them.
