Last April we were visiting friends in Houston, they picked out a TexMex place for lunch, it had a patio and the weather was beautiful, so we sat outside. They had a couple of dogs there, didn't care

Yep, this also isn't a problem with me. We have 2 dogs in our home, they go out with us, but we consider the places we are going in advance and plan accordingly. This "service animal" nonsense is a sham and I blame the imbeciles that do it as much as the moron business owners that allow it.
