Okay, okay, I give up. This story out of our fair (foggy) Olympia is all over the place and I suppose we might as well confront it head on. Maybe then we can get a leash on it, I know this is ruff, but I don't think it can be muzzled now that it is out of the kennel.
If dog-loving lawmakers prevail, Fido could soon be sidling up to bar stools around Washington state.

My personal vote would be No, no dogs allowed in bars unless they are working dogs. I am fine however with dog establishments built to shelter and water dogs while their owners drink. After the recent storms we surely have lots of free bark around that could be efficiently used for doggie rest stops.

No matter what, I don't think we can tackle this canine question without a few dog & bar jokes under our belt:

A three legged dog walks into a bar and says, "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw..."

A man walks into a pub and sits down next to a man with a dog at his feet. "Does your dog bite?"
"No."
A few minutes later the dog takes a huge chunk out of his leg.
"I thought you said your dog didn't bite!" the man says indignantly.
"That's not my dog."

A dog walks into a bar. He hops up on a bar stool and says, "How about a free drink for the talking dog?" The bartender says, "Sure, the toilet's down the hall."

A man walks into a bar and asks "Who's got the rottweiller tied outside?"

"That's my dog. Why, did he bite you?"

"No, I'm sorry sir but my dog killed him."

Your dog killed my dog? What kind of dog do you have?"

"A Chihuahua"

"WHAT!!! You're telling me a chihuahua killed my rottweiller??? How'd that happen?"

"I think he got stuck in his throat."

Dogs in bars

I think its fine now. I wouldn't want to have it happen before the no smoking law though. My dog might have gotten lung cancer from second hand smoke. :)

Why take a dog to a bar?

When a dog can bring the bar to you?

A dog walks into a bar...

He says to the batender : "Hey asshole, I want a rum and coke tout sweet, and it better be fast or I'm gonna jump over the bar and bite you in the neck"

A guy at the bar turns to his neighbor and says, "Boy, that dog has big balls"

His neighbor says "Nah, those things are just Neuticles".

Dogs

This might give a whole new meaning to ordering "scooby snacks."

Leave it up to the bar owner!

If it's legal to have your dog in a bar, the individual bar owner can decide whether dogs can be in that bar.  Freedom is good.

Owner choice

I like that idea, let bar owner decide. I'd like bar owners to be able to make their own decisions on whether their establishment is smoking or non-smoking also.

Smoking in bars

Here's a proposal, if a bar owner wants to have smoking in their bar the state could make it a condition that all people working in the smoking area be given full medical insurance, not a cheapo plan, but a plan like the US Congress gets.  The bar would also have to pay a "permit fee" based on sales that would add to a state pool for uninsured people so they could get medical insurance.
