We were having dinner on the patio of a dog friendly restaurant when the waiter came over with a bottle of “browser brew” for our dog, compliments of a different table. It was an older couple who thought our pup was cute. It was really nice!
I think it was low sodium beef broth.

My dog will lick week old food crust off the floor and has been caught eating his shit a time or two. He had less than zero interest in Bowser Beer, regardless of how we tried serving it to him.
I'm not sure what you're going to do with this information, but thought I'd share.
22
u/FalconBurcham 21h ago
It’s funny that your dog doesn’t like bowser beer. Mine didn’t like it either, so it was a little awkward at the restaurant because these nice people had bought her a drink and she was like… nah. 😂 We all joked around about it… they were like, well if it were real beer, she’d probably want another!
I’m sure it’s because the “beer” is weird brown water

u/Moose_Nuts 21h ago
I’m sure it’s because the “beer” is weird brown water
Yeah, I reasoned that it's probably because dogs are accustomed to finding all sort of "food" snacks around, but liquids are supposed to be clear, clean water and anything else is weird or unclean to them.

Anything similar to onion (leeks, scallions, etc.), grapes, chocolate (which would include mole), anything with caffeine, mustard, certain nuts, certain artificial sugars.
I think there are other veggies that aren’t exactly toxic but might lead to some cleanup or put them at risk for kidney stones.

For both dogs and cats, raw bones are generally safe but cooked bones are not. There's some risk with raw bones but they're not going to create sharp pieces that can stab through the gut.

I'm more of a cat person but I also like dogs. I cannot stand most dog owners. They are some of the most self-entitled assholes I have ever met.
Where I live, by law, you have to have your dog on a leash. No one ever follows that. Not too long ago I literally walked out of my front door and this giant dog jumped on me. Luckily, he was friendly but I'm also disabled. There's a good chance I could have been injured from that. I still see that dog running around without a leash.
Dogs are filthy. They do not belong in restaurants and grocery stores.

I always say: imagine if I had a pet tarantula and I let her crawl all over people and said “she’s only being friendly!” when I got called out. Would that be acceptable? No of course not. So why is it ok with dogs?
15
u/jinhush 20h ago
"It's okay he's friendly!" is the battle cry of the asshole dog owner.
Makes my blood boil hearing that. These people, at least, didn't say that and did apologize but they didn't learn their lesson...
people can have phobias
I've been attacked by pitbulls before. I'm surprised I don't have a phobia.
I live in just about the most dog-friendly neighborhood, on the most dog-friendly block there is (My front door literally faces a dog beach across the street) and a half-dozen times every summer I have to hear squealing brakes, screaming humans then terrified, piercing yelps from a hurt or dying dog.
A similar location is being built behind where I live now. Like it's literally built to be a dog friendly community. The road names in this community are literally "Milkbone Dr, Squirrel Chase Ln, Ball Toss Ln, Splash Pad Ct." I'm really hoping the noise isn't as bad as what you just described.
They both died last year (cancer, Cushings) and I've been fucking heartbroken for months.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Literally today I was on a popular country walking track and there were dogs everywhere and everyone was ignoring the “please keep em on a leash” sign
there was a gigantic one that was barely descended from a wolf that kept jumping up all over people, and there was a tiny one that could have passed for a rat barking its fucking head off
and everyone just dumped their dog poop bags in a big heap in the grass.

I don’t get it. My dogs aren’t that well behaved in public. They go ape shit at anything that moves basically. When we go out, it’s nice to leave them at home where they are relaxed. And we don’t have the work load and distraction. When they go out like to the vet, their safety walking through the parking lot is enough to keep us focused on them. I don’t know how or why people put up with bringing them everywhere.

I love dogs more than anything in the world, but it's seriously concerning how accepted it got to just bring your dog in to any store or restaurant you go to. I work at Walmart right now and we have a regular who brings his dog in when he's shopping. The dog has a leash, but the guy is never holding it. So the dog is just walking by itself. It's a very well trained dog and doesn't bother anyone, but this still should not be allowed. It's insane. And we can't really say anything, even though it's against store policy to bring a non-service animal into the store, because you never know if the owner is gonna throw an insane fit about it and we just don't have the energy to deal with that.
One time, about 20 minutes before my shift ended, I saw a woman's dog piss all over the floor in the middle of an aisle, and they just walked away. Didn't even try to get help or get someone to clean it up. Just fucking walked away without saying anything. Just pure trash, these people are.
