There's a Doggie in my Soup!
02.27.06 (8:00 pm)   [edit]

Many thanks to Doug Bennett of This week on the Island for this tip on a new bill working it's way through the Florida House of Representatives.

A bill, approved by a House committee Wednesday, would create a three-year test program to allow restaurants, with outdoor dining, to allo w dogs to accompany their humans. Rep. Sheri McInvale, an Orlando Republican, filed the bill after some restaurant owners were threatened with fines for allowing doggy dining.

This conjures up countless mishaps and exciting events. Has anyone seen my hotdog? Will the establishment be serving human and canine food. My chili tastes funny, is it a new recipe? Will the dogs be at the table or confined to terra firma? Madam your child just licked me! The excitment starts when the waitress drops some food. Did that Rottie just eat my Yorkie? New dating dialog, Is that your dog under the table or are you glad to see me? They will never agree to stay home again.  Will there be a new special table for Thanksgiving dinner? If I have to wear a jacket...

This could bring a whole new meaning to Doggie Bag. I can already hear my parrot yelling Discrimination!

 Do you want to eat next to strange dogs?

I would eat in such restaurant. I may even eat in a restaurant that served dogs, preferably deep fried.

Um I don't know about this either. I don't see it as very healthy. I would never eat somewhere that allowed that.

Scarlett, Don't you have any pets? My comments, in the post, where mostly for fun. Most people with pets, which is most of us, eat close to our pets daily. I don't see much of a problem with this being sanitary. My problems with allowing this is problems between dogs and dogs or dogs and people.

Now Pastor Dave, with your recent Pig Week I wouldn't be suprised where or what you'll eat. ;-)
