We prefer public transportation, walking or biking. If we really need a car we can always rent one. Maybe in a number of years from now we may feel differently about it.<br /><br />Chris...We totally agree with you. We have denfinitely seen many badly behaved children but nobody stops them from coming in.<br /><br />michael ultra...Europe definitely has a great attitude towards dogs. Wish we could see that more in Canada and the US.<br /><br />Donna...If the centre wasn't free we would have turned around and walked away. There is no way someone with an attitude like that would have received any money from us.<br /><br />Mickey...How true! He couldn't refuse then and would have had to deal with it. Not really sure what the difference would have been between Whiskey and a guide dog?<br /><br />Bob...I think businesses need to relook their pet policies. If Europe can do it why can't we. Ottawa has to be about the worst place for acepting pets. The actually City of Ottawa has many strict rules about dogs and where they can or can't be, type of dog you can have, picking up dog waste and TAKING IT HOME with you (can't put it into a public garbage can, it's against the law!)<br /><br />Sam and Donna...We get much the same reaction with Whiskey. Almost everyone wants to say hi to her and give her a scratch. They say how cute she is etc.<br /><br />Aadkins101...I don't think everyone has the same attitude as this guy thankfully. When we were at the Outlet Mall, Old Navy had a sign in their door saying dog were welcome. I think a lot of the stores there figure it's more profitable for you to bring and dog in and spend time looking than to have you rush through the store because the dog is in the store. Looking forward to our hike and good weather.<br /><br />Sue and Doug...We survived in the shade.<br /><br />Jim and Sandie...Thank you and you would get our business. I think most people that have pets think of them as family.<br /><br />Kevin, Ruth and WhiskeyKevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-77085904744458533332011-07-24T10:48:33.164-04:002011-07-24T10:48:33.164-04:00Whiskey, you'd be welcome in my business (if I...Whiskey, you'd be welcome in my business (if I had one) at any time. The States are so far behind Europe in their attitudes towards animals. Look at the fact that it took Katrina to make authorities realize that people will not leave their pets behind because they are family.Jim and Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108729200561576870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-58052048676513215772011-07-24T02:24:08.491-04:002011-07-24T02:24:08.491-04:00poor Whiskey..banished to the outdoors!..geesh!!.....poor Whiskey..banished to the outdoors!..geesh!!..Sue and Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436889944386917688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-61606417926406428342011-07-23T13:32:04.799-04:002011-07-23T13:32:04.799-04:00New Hampshire's Motto, "Live Free or Die&...New Hampshire's Motto, "Live Free or Die" does not appear to pertain to dogs! Definitely CRAP!<br />However, a lovely area and glad you are enjoying the scenery, even in the sweltering heat. On our way to Quebec, we are headed up that way next week - Squam Lake first, where on a really clear day we can see Mt. Washington - the haze will probably prevent that sight this year! Can't wait to hear if you walked up Mt. Wash - if so, you guys are definite STARS! Best to you both and adorable little Whiskey.

Had a store keeper ask if he could have a piece of cold cuts as a treat for being such a good boy in the store. The majority of people love well behaved dogs like Whiskey.Be safe out there.

Here in Vienna, dogs are just about everywhere, and like Michael said, only not allowed in certain shops like the butcher, baker (candlestick maker?? sorry, couldn't resist). Most grocery stores I've noticed too, will have you leave your dog outside, where they not only have a place for you to hook up a leash, but quite often a bowl of fresh water!<br />But restaurants and cafes? No problem. And I'm sure there are people with allergies to pet dander all over. So? That's why they sell anti-histamines. <br />Good thing it was free. Just too bad you didn't have a guide dog is all.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-52977845439594703622011-07-23T11:58:41.436-04:002011-07-23T11:58:41.436-04:00I wonder if his allergy is immune from Guide dogs,...I wonder if his allergy is immune from Guide dogs, which are allowed by law in any Public place.<br />His allergy should disqualify him from that job.<br /><br />Q: What are the laws that apply to my business?<br />A: Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), privately owned businesses that serve the public, such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, taxicabs, theaters, concert halls, and sports facilities, are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires these businesses to allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals onto business premises in whatever areas customers are generally allowed.<br />MickeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-86460931232545007512011-07-23T10:36:13.374-04:002011-07-23T10:36:13.374-04:00Well the guys was definately NOT kind hearted... w...Well the guys was definately NOT kind hearted... who would ever allow a dog to stay out in this horrible heat wave that is all across the nation.

Dogs were welcome anywhere but butcher shops. I really hate the fact that a few can control the majority.
