Yeah, at the site shown above!


Sorry. I missed that ink in the mayhem.

I bet they frown on skinny dipping at 2 AM tho ;-)

Well, there is that.

I also doubt Mr Ed would be welcome.
He is my "lap partner" when we swim.

Ed looks the part, there are lots of yellow lab service dogs but I
doubt he could act the part long enough to convince anyone. ;-)

There was a special on this on the local news just the other night. Working Dogs, whether fake or
not, *can* be kicked out of a restaurant, etc. for 'bad behavior'. It showed a scene of a 'working
dog' going ape**** when another 'working dog' entered the establishment. The second was a real,
trained working dog, which showed no reaction at all to the aggressiveness of the other dog.

When I use the crosswalk to get over the four-lane road here (Franconia), cars stop a lot more
readily if I'm walking the pointer. But maybe the drivers just think she's a good looking dog.

We have friends whose mother claimed her dog (BIG dog) was a service dog so
it could go on an airplane with her and not in baggage. Not good.

It's getting to be a problem in restaurants and grocery stores also. From what I understand, the
dog's status cannot be questioned.


Yup, I know a little pig in our MX community that got a vest for his
purse dog just so he could bring it everywhere... It's bull****. He
thought when he told me I would be impressed, turns out I was
disgusted... Later he got all democrat on me and we aren't friends
anymore...

There are a couple dog-owners in the neighborhood that don't talk to me either after I offered to
pick up their dog **** as they were walking away from it.

My wife and I will offer them disposable bags so they can pick up their own crap.
Up here there is a hefty fine for not doing so.

Asking, "Would you like me to pick up the poop for you?" seems to make the point quite well, and I
don't waste a bag.

BTW, here's where I get my bags...for about 3,25 cents a bag including shipping. The bags are a
perfect size for two or three, if necessary, 'poops'.

http://tinyurl.com/muyh9r2

They come in sets of 100, attached to a piece of cardboard which can be hung on a hook or doorknob
for easy tear off. Of course, you've got to buy 2000 at a time, but for me that's only about two
year's worth as I end up giving the kids some as stocking stuffers.

We have an A'hole neighbor. Used to take their Rat Dog across the street
to our next door neighbors parking strip for it's potty break. And leave
the ****. Laura next door finally had enough and screamed at them as she
flung the **** at their yard. Last time A'hole took the dog across the
street to do it's crapping.

When I was working in Switzerland in about 1987 on a job for a few weeks,
we went to dinner one night. Leaving, a German Shepard tried to attack me
as we came through the front part of the restaurant. Could not figure out
why, until we went outside. Colin said he had stepped on the sleeping dog.
And I was the first person it saw. Dogs are normally OK as handled in
European Restaurants. Here, some purse dog would be on the table being fed
from a plate.
