Monday Mischief: Remind me again… Why are dogs not allowed on chairs?

by Alfie Entlebucher on June 25, 2012

The whole pack...well almost

Rooo  we’re having a typical British summer. Rain every other day, cloudy and generally miserable and so cold so no one wants to go swimming in the mud puddles with me. In short, its rubbish.

Midsummer Walkies

The shop where both my human and my buddy Archie work had arranged a midsummer walk on Sunday. We were hoping for sunshine so we could bring along a lovely picnic for the end of the walk. Actually, I think Archie was the most excited about the picnic as he loves eating food off the ground. He likes putting his nose to good use like that. Every dog should have his own interests as far as I’m concerned, but I’m more into chasing sticks anyway so I usually leave him to his sniffing.

the little doggies...

Anyway. The humans geared up in wellies and rain coats and we set off on the walk. I was the biggest dog, followed by a cool scruffy dog from Thailand called Twix, his little Westie buddy and a cute girl called Ruby. Then there were the usual suspects Archie and Hardy and their humans. I always keep an extra watchful eye on Hardy, as he is a ball-o-holic just like me and he’s been known to steal a ball or two.

I herded the humans across the whole of Wimbledon Common, and helped them keep an eye on the little doggies. Twix decided he wanted to take up golfing and bounced off to the golf course, closely followed by his two humans calling his name. Archie was really brave and waded through a deep water puddle when he suddenly sunk really deep down and fell over dipping his little face into the mud. Then I had to show off and splashed a big mud clot in the Westie’s face so he looked a little like a little Panda bear.

Sunday Roast

When we reached the other end of the common, and the picnic plans had been replaced with plans of going to the pub for Sunday roast. We found a nice pub in Wimbledon Village that allowed dogs, and I settled in with my pig’s ear under the table. Then something really horrible happened. The pack split up! One of my humans went inside to order food and drinks and I couldn’t stop myself from howling. As I kicked my head back for another howl, I noticed all the little dogs had much better seats than me. They were sitting on their humans’ laps when I had to make do with the floor!

I couldn’t bear the injustice and immediately spotted a spare seat, made myself comfortable, and waited for the Sunday roast to arrive. Unfortunately my human came back before the roast arrived and took back her seat.

How about all you doggies out there – are you allowed to sit at the table? *Waggy tail*

I’m not allowed to sit at the table either – but under the circumstances you were in I think you should have been able to stay there.

I thought so too, but oh no, I had to go back on the ground again! *waggy tail*

Elka has never tried to sit in a chair like that! Or a computer chair. Couches and recliners, though, are fair game.

I think you should definitely be allowed to sit at the seat. Especially if the humans are trying to fob you off with a pigs ear when there’s a whole roast dinner to be had! (did you get any of that?) You should have been given your own seat at the head of the table :-) WOOF!

Didn’t get any of the roast dinner *grrrr* I think my timing was a little off! *Waggy tail*

Nope, I’m not allowed to sit at the table either. But I’m really impressed at how close you came to snagging some of that roast! ;)

I guess it takes practice before I actually get to sink my teeth into the roast! *Waggy tail*

We are most certainly not allowed to sit on chairs or tables, however couches are fine:)
Nice move on getting a perfect seat Alfie!

Roooo I don’t think your doggies would even fit on a regular chair *Waggy tail*

How nice of you to save your mom’s seat for her! Betty loves to get on furniture!

Fred & Gloria aren’t allowed to sit at the table either. This is surprising considering they have taken over every other spot in the house! Even without the sunshine, it sounds like you had a wonderful day!

I had a fab day thanks. I bet Fred and Gloria are working on a plan as we speak *Waggy tail*

Chester and Gretel are generally allowed to sit at the table. The few restaurants in Seattle that do allow dogs make frownie faces if they see a dog sitting at the table. Sometimes we sneak them when they are not looking though :)

Are you really okay with this? Sitting on a chair?!? We demand our fair share of roast since we did sit as proxy! I love the thought of having a picnic.

Huggies and Cheese,

We know some Chessies that are allowed to sit on chairs at the table. They even get a bit of the human food now and again. But those Chessies are not us…

Hope you got some roast!

Hey Alfie,

Unfortunately I suffer the same injustice as you – no sitting on the chair for me and certainly non of the human food!! I’m treated SO badly!! :)

We need a plan buddy :)

Your pal Snoopy :)
