Silliest place you’ve seen a dog owner take their dog

Which youve somehow transformed into anti trans. Slow clap. 👏

Lol...not the case for the last anti trans thread I read.

In the multi storey car park. Getting into the lift with several people! Very good ,didn't bark .Very busy at Christmas time

Build a bear because apparently the dog wanted to make a bear 🙈😂

At a fair - absolutely packed- hard to walk round. noisy, busy, bright lights. Poor thing must have been stressed.

In a Cats’ Protection charity shop

I was talking about dogs in a Catholic Mass. Other denominations and faiths can choose to do, and believe, what they like!

As I said I agree, it's disgusting, and I in no way excuse it in any way. I am responsible, and pick up my dogs poo and bin it either in dog poo bin or at home.
My point is that it's skanky people leaving literal shit in all public places. I cleaned up the mess left behind in a beautiful public beauty/viewpoint place by a carload of family that threw the rubbish out the car window as they drove off. It got others out their cars and we cleaned up the shit together.
Beach huts here are a target, people go behind them to shit and piss. Men in particular will piss like a fucking Terrier marking territories anywhere and everywhere, are men not toilet trained past toddlerhood, as they seem to be unable to wait to use a loo! Beaches have to be cleaned daily during the summer, not because of Fido, he's not allowed, dogs are barred, but because of scuzzy humans.

Sorry I haven’t RTFT. Was cycling hone the other day on a shared cycle / pedestrian path and some idiot was screaming at me to slow down because he was playing with his off-lead dogs on the path. WTF? He had one of those ball throwing things and was going up and down the path with it. There was a public park - vast, grassy - less than 2 mins walk away. And he had the audacity to ask me to slow down when I was using our city’s cycle infrastructure as intended. Idiot.

My dog squats and shits in front of me, and I pick it up. If someone's dog does it in front of you, then hope the owner picks it up, look away and get on with your life.

People who leave shit and poo bags everywhere piss off responsible dog owners too. Just because I have a dog does not mean I have low standards.

im fortunate to be able to spend a good portion of the year on the coast. In the last week I’ve seen dozens of full dog 💩 bags on the beach/in sand dunes / grass verges along lanes. And not a single nappy bag. A neighbour kindly went out and cleared what she could recently and collected 10 bags in the space of an hour. Signs are put up but dog owners are the lowest of the low - I’ve seen so many dogs squat and shit Infront of me this week it’s just disgusting. My children don’t squat and shit right next to a stranger

But unsuitable is very subjective, as this thread shows.

No reason at all! I was mainly thinking of the people taking the dog to places that are objectively unsuitable for a dog.

😂😂😂

Oh, well in case this thread hasn’t made you aware - lots of places are dog friendly these days. Those of you who don’t like dogs ought to check before you attend.

No, it wouldn’t cross my mind to. Dog’s don’t usually drink coffee so I wouldn’t be thinking about them in a coffee shop until I see (or, more often than not, smell) one.

But if dogs are allowed, why should owners make their lives more complicated by not taking them?

So much entitlement from people who don’t seem to realise that no one cares whether you dislike dogs or get a bit sniffly or your child is a bit scared. All of those things are your complications to deal with.

Also, if someone apologised for their dog peeking at me on the loo, I would think they were completely barking.

My dog’s favourite thing to do (after running around like a lunatic) is curling up next to me whilst I watch a film.

I probably wouldn’t take him to the cinema because I find it too loud, but he would love lying around for 2 hours in the dark!

Down an aisle at her wedding. Whilst her dad, who she loves and gets on with and is close to, sat watching in his seat. I was like this

Have you considered asking before you purchase your coffee? I usually do (although for the opposite reason).

Yep. the problem is not dogs. It is the owners.

Sick and tired of smelling dog shit everywhere and seeing 💩 filled bags in hedgerows and sand dunes. if I launched my kids shitty nappy bag into a verge id - quite rightly - be told off but dog owners can get away it seemingly
I'm a dog owner, totally agree, but dirty nappies are dumped regularly too along with all their other rubbish. Go for a walk on a beach after a nice day. The problem is the skanky human. They often own dogs and frequently are as bad with their kids.

Yes, but does your Border Collie think it's a case of transubstantiation, or consubstantiation?

Babies and toddlers have an immortal soul and are members of the church. Animals don’t and aren’t.

Even within Christianity, that assertion is not universally agreed; and other faiths would entirely disagree.

As for "doggy greetings" etc., I have attended a number of "mixed animal" services in the past and to date there have been no traumas or problems, which isn't always true of Sunday School participants.

...understand liturgical rites...
But I don't think I would go that far - there's been times when I don't understand liturgical rites, so not sure why I would expect my Border Collie to.
