They had to be leashed & well behaved. I could understand changing the dog rule for the new building, not the old one. Sigh, Ashland was far more dog friendly when we first moved here than it is today. We still have plenty of stores we can go into but alas, fewer outdoor restaurants we can sit at. Dogs are considered a health hazard while birds, rats, & dirt aren’t.

It is odd we can sit outside with Sherlock at the restaurants along the main street, we just prefer not to. For one Sherlock takes up half the sidewall & nothing ruins a meal like a big truck parking right next to you while it unloads its goods. Second it is nicer along the walkway overlooking the creek.
