[Artemisia] pets at events

[Michele Wolf]

I have to agree completely!  The other thing that I want to add is that if your dog is behaving aggressively: barking (a lot in that challenging way) or snapping or otherwise causing a ruckus.. This isn't the dog being cute or funny.. The dog is being dangerous.  It doesn't matter how little or harmless a dog is, aggressive behavior is aggressive behavior and at best some day that dog will get into a tussle with another dog (or child or adult!)  At worst someone will be injured.

If your dog does not play *nicely* with other creatures then please leave him or her at home.  We love pets and love to see them enjoying themselves (and squirrels, of course, need being barked at.. I get that) but please be aware of how your pet is interacting with the other creatures.

//And it's not a good idea for them to be barking around the horses, or so I'm told.. No matter how much the horses need to be barked at.
