Never tried to take my dog to campus before - quick question: are people allowed to have dogs on leashes on campus?

 

Look for a quick answer, since I am looking at heading there in 15 min.

I don`t think I have ever seen a dog on campus. Why would you want to do that?

Hmmm, yeah can't ever remember seeing a dog.

I thought I saw some once...turned out to be some Michigan b*tches.

I saw a few thousand in the Dog Book.

What?!? To walk him, of course. Because he's a trusted companion, I don't want to leave him home alone for 4 hours, he's a very good and mellow dog...

 

"Why would I want to do that?" Sheeesh.

Walking a dog? How absurd!! What are you - an animal lover or something? LOL

 

Just spoke with Cindy in Campus Security and she said that dogs are allowed on campus as long as they are on a leash.

When I went up to Notre Dame last year, my family and I did a tour that was given by one of the students. She was telling us that it was frowned upon by walking on the grass. She was saying that the students see it as God's turf (something to that effect). I too didn't see any dogs on campus last year when I went. It may be different though when I go up there next week to see the Irish play BYU.

We had a dog when we lived oc. Brought it on all the time. That's 25 years ago, so I'm not sure if it helps. As long as you clean up after it, I don't see the issue. Dogs rule!!! What breed?

Walking a dog will get the chicks to talk to you... its that simple. The cuter the dog, the more girls will come up and talk to you. Happened at Ball State all the time.

Good point.

Yep dogs are attracted to other dogs...

I saw at least 10 dogs at the Michigan/ND tailgate. woof woof

I'll be Sligo's dog! woof!

Thank you for the input, especially that from IrishWarrior. Unfortunately it was too late, and Teddy stayed home.

 

I saw 5 dogs while on campus: I kept count.

 

Teddy is a Border Aussie. Beautiful dog, very sociable, smart, and well behaved. He does, however, have a ball chasing problem.

Saw some other creatures while there. My daughter and I were walking around the west side of the stadium. She sees the NBC equipment, and says, "NBC sucks." I replied, "NBC puts a lot of money into Notre Dame, and don't say 'sucks.'"

 

Just then this nice SUV pulls up to the curb a little bit in front of us, and these guys start piling out. I'm thinking, "who do these guys think they are?" Then one of them, a big black guy with a really thick neck, catches my eye, and gives me a look like, "who the helll is this guy?" I'm thinking, "this looks like a football player." Then I look at the short guy standing next to him. Both these guys are looking at me now like I might be dangerous (I'm not).

 

I realize the short guy is Doug Flutie. I'm caught completely unawares in the middle of this conversation with my daughter who is still talking. BTW, I really hope she wasn't saying "NBC sucks" at that moment.

 

Anyway, I point toward them, no idea why I'm pointing but it's probably because Doug's name wouldn't come to me right then, and am thinking about saying something like, "nice throw in the Liberty Bowl," but fortunately I realize how really lame that would be, so instead I just say, "good to have you guys on campus; I hope you enjoy your weekend." Then I keep walking really cool like.

 

Except my daughter is completely embarrassed, and she's pulling me away by my arm.

 

These teenage years are going to be a blast, huh?

 

Anyway, the moral of the story is: if I had Teddy with me, Flutie, the big guy, and I would all be best friends sharing brewskies up in the press box right about now.

So you wanted to pick up Doug Flutie?

This is our Boston Terrier, Floyd. Bet you can guess where he got his name!

He really needs to get a refund on the hair plugs he bought...just shave it buddy....

Nice lookin' dog. I like the ears.

Thanks, Teddy looks like a happy boy too. I used to have a Collie/German Shepherd mix that was similar looking but of course much larger.

 

Floyds ears are awesome, should have seen him as a puppy! Always been a dog person, always will be. Man's best friend for sure.

 

Go Irish! Beat Stanford!

LOL, that's great. I would have said something similar.

 

I wish I could have gotten you the info sooner. If Cindy didn't put me on hold, I could have gotten it done.
