Dogs, plates and leftovers.....

[Wren]

We called in at a friends cafe/diner yesterday, (where well behaved dogs are allowed and there are bowls of water provided for them) to find him quite annoyed, apparently after a lady customer had finished with her cooked breakfast, she had put the plate down on the floor for her dog to finish the leftover food !!

She was amazed when my friend told her she could not do that due to health and hygiene reasons and removed the plate

I know some people do it at home but that’s their business, (as long as I’m not invited for a meal) but to just assume it is acceptable in a cafe or restaurant is beyond belief

This side of the pond dogs are not allowed in restaurants unless they are working guide dogs.

I do not think I would eat at a place like that, dog hair, poop, fleas comes to mind. Of course if other diners bring their own dogs then nothing to complain about as they are obviously comfortable with it. As to the plate on the floor, yuccky

Even at home my kitty has his own little plate, or tidbits on the floor.

I know some people do it at home but that’s their business,

Larry went to visit his 86 year old grandfather in a very rural area. After spending a great evening chatting the night away, Larry’s grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon and eggs. Larry noticed a film like substance on his place, and questioned his grandfather asking, “Are these plates clean?”

His grandfather replied, “They’re as clean as cold water can get em. Just you go ahead and finish your meal”.

For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, Larry was concerned about the plates as it appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, “Are you sure these plates are clean?”

Without looking up the old man said, “I told you before, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don’t you worry, I don’t want to hear another word about it”.

Later that afternoon, as he was leaving, his grandfather’s dog started to growl, and wouldn’t let him pass. Larry yelled and said, “Grandfather, your dog won’t let me get to my car”.

Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted, ‘COLDWATER, GO LAY DOWN NOW, YEH HERE ME!!!”
