I think Fougasse would be safe there - it's hard to imagine than any pub would ever have a Dalmatian coloured carpet!

one month passes...

re Robster's "dogs getting it on" (or not) story, the landlord of the Donnington Arms sidled up to our table at the quiz last night and whispered "C. at the Shelley Arms, do you know if his Alsatian has been 'done'? Only I've got an Alsatian bitch on heat here right now...."

three weeks pass...

There was a man who used to drink in a local pub in my home town who used to bring his Jack Russell into the pub. He used to smoke roll-ups, and when he'd finished them, he'd extinguish them with his fingers, then feed the remaining stub to the dog. I nearly chucked up. I remember thinking that it was a good thing he didn't use roaches, for some reason.

Dogs in pubs are generally OK with me as long as they are not massive beasties and they are soporific. A landlord with a big dog that prounces because it knows it is the king of the pub is not a good thing.

the forest gate used to have this massive labrador there on sundays and saturday, I guess one of the punters who liked to watch football owned him. he used to drool constantly, he'd wander around with his massive massive tongue out which was saturated with drool, I'm talking dripping like a tap here, and woe betide you if he licked your leg, as happened pretty much anyone I went there with at one time or another.

I'm more interested in pub parrots

I used to work in a pub with a pub parrot. The landlord bought it as an Xmas present for his son and when it had reached a suitable age (god knows what constitutes a suitable age for a parrot to enter a bar) he would sometimes bring it down if it wasn't too busy (the pub, not the parrot) to sit behind the bar. The little fucker would peck at me every time I went out back to put glasses in the washer. And it never learnt to speak. useless.

it'd be better if he'd actually brought the egg in and kept it in an incubator behind the bar so the punters could chart its progress from the outset.

That landlord's gone now. No-one is sorry. Except him, possibly.

The landlord of the pub in Garsington last night tells me that the previous tenants look after the pub when he's on holiday and they bring their dog (a black lab) with them. He then indicate the scratches on the bar from where the dog puts its feet on there when ppl feed it crisps.

A discussion followed on why you never see ginger labradors.

the Fir Tree in Oxford has the largest complement of dogs I have seen in a single pub. There is a Border collie that likes to put its head against my leg. There is also a labrador and two other dogs of indeterminate breed. The smaller of which, Mollie, is quite young and frisky. Somewhere I have some pics of Mollie from when she was a puppy, curled up on the bar and in the barmaid's arms.

I always enjoy seeing dogs in pubs, because they're obviously having a whale of a time. All those people to fuss over them!

The owner of a dog in my building calls him (the dog) an “asshole” and exclaims “Jesus Christ” in the lobby on occasion of meeting other dogs
