Who Let the Dogs In?

So glad I'm not the only person who has a problem with the rapid expansion in dog-friendly spaces – I feel like such a Grinch most of the time.

I agree that we need to limit these indulgences to specific times and places. And while we're at it, let's roll back permissions on some baby-friendly venues.

My sister has acquired a dog and a baby (in that order) in the last couple years, and at least from my own observation, the dog is by far the greater determining factor in their choices re: recreation and leisure – gotta go to a dog-friendly place, or if you don't, then you can't be out more than a couple hours, or can't go too far from the doggy daycare. The baby comes along any old place and is a much less demanding sweet little lump of dough that just needs a feed and change every so often.

Presumably this will shift slightly as her daughter gets older, but on the other hand, her daughter will get potty-trained and the dog never will ...
