Dogs at the Track

[FINESPLINE]

Ever fly the RED EYE from LA to New York with a baby two aisles behind you that cried from about 15 minutes after take off to about an hour before landing. That's something special .The mother tried everything but to no avail. Quite a trip !

Maybe SSGT should learn some consideration for families with young children when your shaking your head at them in disbelief, obviously oblivious to the challenges of parenthood as small children go through different phases of development. Consideration is a two-way street.

Mr. Racer, I'll call you since you don't use your name. I never made a suggestion as to what the speed limit was in the situation suggested but I guess everyone else but you had enough common sense to realize that I was speaking of the interstate where the limits would be 65 or 70 and signs are clearly posted suggesting that slower traffic keep to the right

I personally am annoyed by kids at restaurants that scream, carry on etc. I think there should be 'family only' dining areas in restaurants. We have designated smoking areas, lets have em' for 'families' that bring their screaming kids to restaurants. Let adults that wish to have a quiet, relaxing meal enjoy just that. If I wanted to hear all that noise while eating, I'd go to Chuckee Cheese.

And about loud music at Indy! It got real quiet after his second trip over to their pits!!

A couple of years ago at Indy, one of my good friends was chased down and bitten by a dog, ripping his jeans. He went and got NHRA to handle it. By the time they got there,the people took the dog and hid it at someone elses pits so they didnt have to leave or be thrown out.

I feel bad for the dogs when the owners bring their dogs up to the stands to watch the cars going down the track. ESPECIALLY while the faster/louder cars, like the Alkies, are running!

The owners never have hearing protection (if it even exists) for their "beloved animal that they treat like their own child!" If it was their human child, you know they would have ear muffs on the kid, & nevermind the fact that a dog's sense of hearing is a million and a half more sensitive than human's!

I saw this poor dog in the stands flinch at the hit of the throttle EVERY TIME at a recent divisional race! You ask the owner why they bring their dog to the race, and it's "Oh, he just loves coming to the track," when it's obvious that no, the dog does NOT love coming to the track!

We bring our dog along, the cars don't bother him a bit doesn't even raise his head up. However the fireworks make him a wreck, of course he goes and hides then it's like nothing ever happened a few minutes later. Not saying it's right or wrong, we also put our dog in the trailer when we'll be away, he doesn't bark he cries for a few minutes calling for his pack we assume, does the same thing at home.Being a responsible pet owner eliviates many of the "problems" of bringing pets to the races. IMO
