How embarrassing! To be fair, though, it was not âthrow-upâ, but a coughed-up bit of drool under my chair that was cleaned up with a cocktail napkin. As a bar owner, Ray can expect to be seeing much worse in the restrooms than what Gustav produced.
In fact Gustav was in the car for all but the last 30 minutes of the happy hour, and the only reason he came in was because Ray invited him in. I certainly donât want to impose him on anyone. In fact the only time I ask to bring him with me is when Iâm eating outside on a deck somewhere - I figure if heâs well-enough behaved to lie down under our table, then itâs no problem.
Wolf, if you or anyone else feels even remotely uncomfortable with Gustav in the room, they have only to tell me, and I will send him back to the car. In the evenings, with the windows opened , the back seat isnât any worse than his crate at home. So far though, nooneâs complained - Gustav seems to bring smiles wherever he goes. :scooby:
Let me explain.
First, this is about bringing a pet to an establishment where food and/or drinks are served to people.
Any manager or owner of a restaruant who allows a dog, for example, into their establishment is irresponsible, or cavalier. Aside from almost certainly being against the law (no, I havenât checked), it is running an unacceptable risk of a lawsuit.
No matter how friendly the dog may be, dogs can bite (drunk person accidentally stumbles on dog, falls on dog/steps on dog, dog instinctively bites man, man instinctively sues owner and establishment).
This is not an issue about friendship, it is purely business. It is a business risk that is totally avoidable.
Furthermore, there is the issue of cleanliness. A customer gets sick, there was a dog in the place â lawsuit.
Also, it is selfish of the owner to bring an animal into a bar where he does not know every person there. I donât like cats and if someone brought one to a place where I was dining or drinking, it would sully my experience, not to mention I am allergic to cats.
Then there is the fact that some people are afraid of dogs, particularly in Taiwan. As a businessman, I would hate to have the Taiwanese word get around that this particular restaurant lets in dogs and that keeps potential customers away.
So, a private party is one thing, but a public venue is another.
It makes bad business sense to allow an animal in, and it is impolite to bring one in â and I say this as a dog lover, too.
If you were a gentleman youâd have coughed that up in the bathroom in private, thereby not giving Gustav the opportunity to hoover it up. Eating Maomanâs drool? No wonder Gustav was sick.

Your opinion is noted. :aiyo:
WE like to swim. We want to go to a nice beach!!! Itâs important for the dogs to socialise with other dogs and PEOPLE too![/quote]
If some dog tried to socialize with me, Iâd give him/her a good swift kick in the ass. Then Iâd go up and slap the owner. I still have bad dreams of my grandparents weener dog trying to hump my leg when I was a kid.
