Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now we're talking about dogs in cafes.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
There is an interesting, very interesting article that's come out
today saying a lot of people are getting sick of
other people's dogs in cafes.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
I don't take my dogs to a cafe. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
They will eat the chairs and possibly any of the
waiters and the table, yeah, most of the kitchen, and
they wheel over the floor.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Sounds like Big Daycin's dog, Old Greg Greg.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
He's not lead either, he's a bad boy.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
And your dog Roxy.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Yeah, I have taken her out a few times, but
I don't take it in a cafe. Like if it's
a pet friendly one, I'll take her outside.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
But I still feel as though.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
There was a friend of mine who has a very
very yappy dog, one of those ones that just doesn't stop,
completely unaware of its entire existence.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
No, no, I wouldn't if Roxy was like that, I wouldn't.
But she's pretty good. She'll just sit next to me.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
On the owner's fault, the dog yapped, I would say,
for forty five minutes. Yeah, it would be on the
owner for that to be removed, the dog to be.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Removed, you both get removed.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
So she not only doesn't have any idea about her
surroundings needed that does the dog.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Dogs and cafes? Yes or no? What do you think
like if.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
They're no outside sorry trying to be cool. Yeah, no
outside like we had a dog when we were growing up,
Always an outside dog. Never had an inside dog. Yeah,
dogs on fair outside and they give it a bowl,
give a shady place to sit away from the cafe. Yeah.
Oh no, wait, just you know there's cafes where you
can sit outside with your dog. Awesome ye, but inside nah.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
The distance I think is the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
But still at the same time, think about someone who
has a horrible fear of dogs or has been bitten
by a dog, and he's finally going out for a
coffee for the first time, and you know, I've got
them really painting and sour picture on her.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Oh they've been left alone.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
And there's a dog sitting next to them and they're
absolutely scared, petrified.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Maybe the one wing on the floor.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Exactly and going the whole time. And that's a human.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Dogs in cafes yes or no? Melanie from mer Made Waters,
what do you think?

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Yes? Definitely.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
What kind of dog do you have?

Speaker 5 (02:11):
Oh, I don't actually have a dog. I had four
in South Africa, but I don't have one yet in Australia, okay, and.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
They let when you have the four dogs in South Africa,
they let them inside the cafes and restaurants or actually.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
No, not in South Africa. That's why I think it's
such a good thing. They do it here.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Oh okay cool.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Are you the kind of person though it goes to
a cafe and instantly like adopts a dog that's at
the table next to you.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
Yes, yeah, I asked for mission first because that's polite.
But most dogs are there to own it. Yes, Yes,
they're willing and I've got them with me before the
end of the day.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yes, she's walking out from the table.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
I'm happy exactly. Well, I've mean for some people, dogs
are an extension of their family, very important, and if
you can't go into a cafe with them, then it's
like not taking a member of your family in with you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Mine them is of a family. You usually don't wag
on the floor though, as.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Much as my dogs would so usually usually I mean, yeah,
there is one.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
There's a couple of nights. Thanks Mellanie Alison from Upper Camera.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Dogs in cafes, Yes or no? No, no, okay, I'm
with you.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
Why is that that's just if everyone has their dog
in the cafe, they all want to start growling and
fighting or not. Everyone's going to get along. Well, humans
don't get along, but when dogs go in there, they
think it's their territory. Yes, it's not pleasant. Yeah, and
that you don't want to be eating you know, chocolate
croissant when you've got a dog there and it's just
about to do it, you know number.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Two, the chocolate before and after shop.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Oh god, what about dog at the Crazy Cat Cafe?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
You reckon?

Speaker 4 (03:55):
I reckon they'd let you in.

Speaker 1 (03:57):

actually do want to.
