OK, Who thinks dogs should be allowed in live theaters?
We're currently staying in a nice mobile home/ RV park in the Sacramento valley here in California and were invited up to Auburn Ca for a "Concert Band" ( mostly horns, no string instruments) band. There were four of us. I have pollen, dog, cat and other animal allergies. After the concert started, I discovered something bumping into the back of my arm. I was really surprised when I spotted a big black lab standing quietly behind my chair! I had to do a double take! But, I wasn't offended, because I do like dogs ( just not in a theater) and it was just standing there but my problem is, I mentioned earlier allergies; in about 5 minutes, I had itchy, watery eyes and tried not to sneeze. I don't think he was a medical or service dog. He and his owner (a young girl) just looked like they were just strolling through the park and decided to come in to listen to the band. This concert was intended as a casual affair. The theater seats about 4 hundred people. It was mostly full. The band was about 55/60 members. This was in a small town of apx 18,000. When I couldn't stand it any longer, I told my DH I was moving and just to hold on to my coat. I (just me) just got up and moved to another seat in another row. Am I the only one who thinks; pets should stay home?
