Dog friendly? What would you do?

3

Either 2 or 3 for me. There's no way I'd ever leave my dog tied up outside anywhere. They knew you had your dog with you - surely they could just have chosen to eat in one of the areas where dogs were allowed? They are in the wrong, not you. Good friends would want everyone to be included.

1. Left the dog at home if no one else was taking a dog
OR
2. Make my apologies and go home with my dog.

2 or 3

I don’t own a dog, but lots of friends and family do. I would never expect anyone who I was out walking with to be left out if they couldn’t take their dog in!
I’d eat in the area offered or look for find new friends!

Number 3 for me with no apologies for leaving.

Not very nice friends then, I would have sat on my own with my lovely dog.

Passive aggressive ?? Moi??

3!
How rude of them!

3, rudeness on quite a nasty level!

I'd have tossed my hair and spun on my heel as I walked off with my beautiful, gorgeous, loyal dog

3. That was very unfriendly. There were lots of options. What did you do?

I don't care if I eat. No worries about food.

I'd be unhappy others were rude, and looking for new friends.

I think it was ride and unkind of them to leave you out when there was other inside eating areas where you could all go and you could keep your dog with you. If they didn't all want to sit in the conservatory I would be surprized if no one offered to sit with you. I think I would probably have eaten alone but would have preferred to just go home.

Very inconsiderate of them.

I’d have done the same as oops, and sat in the conservatory, which I hope the friends could see from the restaurant. ?

What did you do Grannyrose15?

Rude not ride ?

I am especially surprized that the people you knew well didn't sit with you.

3.
I would have really wanted to go home too

3. It was incredibly rude of them not to eat in the conservatory with you and dog.

I would have expected at least one of them to say that they’d eat with you.
I would not be bothering with them again

Oh, I do love gransnet! Thanks for your support.

I came home.

I’m not a doggy person , but I would have sat with you and cast bad karma after the rest !

How rude of them Granyrose15 . You did the right thing. Have they been back in touch with you?

Good for you Rose!

I’m not a dog person, and prefer to eat where there are none around.

However, in this case;

Were you the only one who took your dog? If so, did you ask if it was a dog friendly eating place, and did others mind your dog being with them? It sounds like there were no others, else surely they would have sat with you.
As I say, I’m not a dog lover, but would have felt bad seeing you sitting alone, so I think I would have said something, and suggested sitting elsewhere.
