Okay, HELLO - you know who you are, all those who think their dog's you-know-
what doesn't stink: When a ride entry says "NO DOGS", that means anything
defined as CANINE, no matter how HUMAN you think your pet is. Not everone is
required to love or tolerate your pet. Leave them home.
s
p.s. our dog's you-know-what DOES stink, and we would never dream of
ingraciating them upon other and unsuspecting people who DID leave their pets
at home. Ever had someone else's pooch take a HUGE leak on your ice chest -
right before you wanted to open it to make sandwiches?

 certainly those who think they are simply more important tan the rest of
 us...probably the same dolts who think stop signs and signals and 'keep your
 dog on a leash' rules don't apply to them :)!

Not to start the dog thing up again BUT....I went to the Geo Bun Buster ride
this past weekend (great ride ... thanks to wonderful ride management and vet
teams!).  In the ride information it very clearly stated "NO DOGS ALLOWED".
Soooooo, I left my adorable and well behaved, always on a leash, never bark,
poop or pee where not allowed, Jack Russell Terrier at home.   The first thing
I saw when I arrived in camp were 3 loose dogs playing and having a great time
right in the main check-in area!!!!  What's up with THAT?  Also, I didn't
count, but there were LOTS of dogs in camp.  Guess the rules only apply to the
people who will follow them, the others just make up their own as they go, but
how rude!  It must be very frustrating for ride management to have to deal
with these types -- you can see why ride managers burn out.  Let's take better
care of them (no ride managers, no rides) and show them the courtesy they
deserve!  Whew, got THAT off my chest.
