Something I LOVE about living here in the UK is the dog life. It's everywhere. I live in the countryside, a farmy-area called the Cotswolds. Downsides here are the lack of the great things offered in cities: diversity, international food, bands and live music, things always going on... But the trade-off is worth it for us right now. And part of the trade-off is the dog culture. They're just a part of what we do when we go out & about. In the summertime we make sure we bring their water bowl so they have a drink while we have a coffee. In the wintertime we wipe their feet before they saddle up to the open fire in the corner of the pub. I love it. I also get why people wouldn't want dogs around. The wrong dog in the wrong place is a bad combo. So I'm wondering, where you're from... are dogs allowed in restaurants, bars and shops? Would you like that, or does that make you feel uneasy?
