[nagdu] buffets, and exciting news

[Danielle Sykora]

I personally would never leave my dog with someone else in a
restaurant. Thai is a champion scavenger and I would probably take
advantage of anyone else and eat food off the floor. Not that that
won't happen if I'm with him, but he has more respect for me and is
more likely to think twice about scavenging.

If I am with someone I'm comfortable with, I will work my dog through
the line and ask them to hold my tray. If not, I will have my dog
leash guide. This allows one hand to be free and limits his potential
to scavenge.
