Who Let the Dogs In?

When did the rules change to allow dogs to enter restaurants?

Don't get me wrong. It's not that I dislike dogs; some of my best friends are canines. But it seems that lately, the boundaries between man and dog are changing. I'm seeing it more and more.

I was in one of my favorite coffee shops the other day and a woman wanders in, dog in tow. I understand the need for dogs for the handicapped to come and go with their masters. But this was a hairy, energetic, friendly, noisy (albeit cute) little fella who was enamored with all things baked. He was sniffing the bread, examing the counter, investigating the assortment of smells. Yes, he was on a leash. Yes, I'm getting older. Maybe I'm becoming a curmudgeon. But, when did it become OK for dogs to go wherever people go?

Happy to still be around and still trying to diet seriously. I wish WW had a group for us ancients who can barely get around. Last time I went to a WW meeting it was primarily about need for exercise. Total waste of money for me. I have joined TOPS but it doesn't really have a program-more a support group for overweight people or people who have been overwieght in past and don't want to go back there. Any ideas? Online programs?? Irene Hedgecock
