[nagdu] Doggies at concerts?

[Daryl Marie]

Hi, Raven and all,
thank you all for your suggestions.  I don't have any further insight as to whether or not I will take Jenny to this concert.  It is a rock show (dubbed as a "hall party") at a small venue.  Jenny does fairly well if noise is consistent (cheering, clapping, loud music doesn't bother her), but when I took her to a hockey game last month she didn't like the sound of the horn when the home-team scored.

Still waffling; hubby is not keen on taking her, but I'm not sure what I think yet.

Daryl and the smart Jenny girl

Daryl,
As others have stated, it just depends on what Jenny can handle.
I have taken the Golden Guy to church, various band and choir
concerts, electronic music festivals, hip-hop shows, and jazz fests. I
will not take him to a concert if I know the venue is cramped, or I
will be sitting up on a hill. Hill seats, wasted people and doggies
don't mix.
If Jenny doesn't like loud, leave her at home for the night, or leave
her with someone.
