Celtic Festival in Southern Maryland?

As someone who used to choose my activities with an eye to being accompanied by a wonderful Borzoi, I empathize. Bear in mind, though,
that many people are not objective when it comes to how well-behaved
their children and/or pets are. I have seen someone effusively claiming,
"Oh, he won't bite, he never bites, and he just lloooves children" as their
little darling is taking some poor kids fingers off.

My Leo was almost never on a leash, and fine. Sudden noises could,
however, set him flying, and a hundred pounds of very strong dog in a panic can do a lot of damage. I chose carefully, was ready to dive for him in an
eyeblink, and regretfully left him home if it might a long day with little shade.

You know your habits and your dogs' tolerance. They don't, and are merely suggesting people err on the side of prudence.

I'm sorry to hear of this issue w/pets @ the event but I can't speak for past happenings because I've never been

We are looking forward to going & would be glad to see many people with or without their pets

Unfortunately in today's sue friendly world that we live in they're probably just trying to CYA

I'm just surprised being the event is in the great Maryliberaland that they're not trying to incorporate some kind of a EXTRA TAX for those wanting to bring their pets

Hopefully we'll see many of you there! This will be bumped up quite a few times as a friendly reminder by me up until the event is upon us
