Eating out is big fun. Sometimes Linda takes me out to breakfast at the Bagel Cafe. We sit outside and she reads me the comics. I love Red & Rover and Pearls Before Swine best. We can't go to IHOP or Denny's because they don't allow dogs (even as adorable as I am) inside. It's probably a good idea because over the past 1o years there has been an increase in scary situations & violence at Denny's restaurants. Mr. Denny (it used to be Denny's Donuts when it first opened) has been plagued with bad publicity of fatal shootings & beatings outside their restaurants. In 2006 over a one week span, three shootings occurred at three different Denny's locations across Southern California. There is also the racial discrimination issues that Denny's was charged with. It looks like they will be getting more unwanted publicity. On a recently evening in Modesto, a 33-year old man tried to saw his arm off with a butter knife... right inside the busy restaurant where everyone was eating dinner! People probably thought it was a prank and the guy had poured ketchup all over his arm and table and was just pretending to saw his arm off. By the time the police arrived to stop the man, there already was a huge mess. Police had to tazer the guy to get him to stop. You watch, he'll probably sue Denny's and the cops.
