How bout cats in hospitals

Oscar has sucessfully predicted the deaths of about 100 people at this stage

He sniffs the air, gives Mrs. T. one final look, then jumps off the bed and quickly leaves the room. Not today.

Oscar arrives at Room 313, Mrs. K. is resting peacefully in her bed, her breathing steady but shallow.
Oscar jumps onto her bed and again sniffs the air. He pauses to consider the situation, and then turns around twice before curling up beside Mrs. K.

Thirty minutes later, Mrs. K. takes her last earthly breath

I was thinking about this again yesterday when we drove from Kildare to Wexford. We stopped along the way for lunch. It would have been so much nicer to be able to stop somewhere that we could have brought the dog while we ate. But no we had to leave the dog in the car with the window cracked.
Obviously this would not be an option during the summer.

Thankfully, the pubs and restaurants I frequent prohibit dogs in general so I do have little experience if seeing it happen in those places. That's not my point though, its how is a business owner going to know how well trained this animal that someone has brought onto his premises is:

How is the owner supposed to know how well behaved a child brought into the premises is? I've been many more badly behaved children than badly behaved dogs in pubs

Theres always one who will spoil it for others.
The pity is thst now small minded & insecure cafe workers & dog-haters have now the fodder to ask people sitting outside in cafes with their pets to leave. Yet I increasingly see people with chemical cigarettes sneeky smoking in restaurants & cafes - Time to start reporting them I think. Food is not prepared outside & people sitting smoking or shopping & eating in the pyjamas they slept in are more of a disgusting health risk.

I disagree - we were the only customers at a normally packed cafe this morning because it was raining and were warmly welcomed! Last week we got free love heart chocolates because it was valentines day lol! Business owners aren't going to suddenly start turning customers away. Funny the place we we go to has one sign asking for dogs to be kept on lead in the courtyard - a no brainer - yet a whole blackboard with rules for parents :pac:

Are you talking about e-cigs? If so, the smoking ban doesn't apply to these as far as I know. There is a man sits and vapes away between courses at a cafe I frequent and no one bats an eyelid.

"Chemical cigarettes" is not smoking, it's vapourised liquid hence the term vaping. they're not banned under smoking legislation so report all you want. Businesses can choose to ban them just as they can to ban dogs. But not children mind, shame, noisy, smelly buggers

the EU reg's three main words where dogs are not allowed on a premises is

1) Prepared.. obviously means the kitchen.

2) Handled.. Food is literally handled by the staff. from storeroom to kitchen?
....I would presume it does not mean handled by the customer, except for a ....supermarket like loose veg. It does not mean served..
3) Stored.. speaks for itself.

One of the reasons I used to like the summit inn on howth head was that it allowed dogs, not that I ever brought ours as they always get car sick on long journeys.

There used to be a black scruffy Heinz 50 there a few time I visited, don't know if he belonged to the pub or one of the regulars but it had the begging face down to a tee. More then once he managed to sit on the couch with us and have a crisp or two.

Can't say I ever left a place because they allowed animals, I have however more than once left a place because of some screaming brat running around picking its nose and scratching its hole, while their parents sit around gossiping.

We took our cocker cross there for brunch on Sunday, it was great, nice food and about 7/8 dogs. Dog had a great time introducing himself to everyone. All the tables were occupied so they had to keep telling people to come back later. Would definitely go back. We drove over from the north-side so hopefully somewhere closer will open up.
