Fucking dogs!

I am so fucking done with dogs

I am sick of being jumped all over by dogs when I'm out running. I always slow to a walk when a dog approaches, I stand still if they seem aggressive. I have lost count of how many dogs that have jumped up on me and have made me muddy, left scratches from their nails on my arms and thighs
or ripped/pulled my clothing. I'm actually very lucky never to have been bitten.
.
I am so fucking fed up of avoiding piles of dog shit - on some of the routes I run or walk I can count up to a dozen piles just left on the path.

I am so fucking fed up of my neighbour's dogs barking. I can't complain as they are the kind of people who will make my life hell but on the regular occasions they are out they bark CONSTANTLY. Sometimes all night long.

I am fed up of having to pass a neighbour's house where they let their dog shit in the front garden and don't clear out for days and days. I walk past daily and it stinks to high heaven.

I am fucking fed up of dogs in cafes, pubs and restaurants. I, like many people are allergic and it leaves me sneezing for hours and hours. One pub we were in you literally had to clamber over 6 dogs to get to the bar.

Now today on here there are loads of people saying they think it's ok to put their dog shit in someone else's bin.

This is even without the terrible dog attacks that happen.

I know this will rile entitled dog owners but seriously has anyone else just fucking had enough?

(Ps my current username came from a thread where a poster's dinner of cottage pie had been given to the dog where everyone piled on to say dogs can't eat onions. I don't have a dog 🤣)

@Nyxly
I didn't say I have seen it often, don't twist words

I have seen it more than once though and if I have then it's hardly a leap to think others have seen the same.

And I have seen dogs pissing everywhere in town with piddles of urine all over the place.

I can't believe you think it's all good but hey , we all have different standards

Kikkomam · 18/11/2021 18:47

My dogs have never pissed on a cafe table leg and in 45 years of going to cafes I've never seen it happen.

Honestly, some of you should travel the world a bit more. Seeing pigs eat human shit and dogs eating live maggots out of other dogs wounds makes a bit of cockerpoo piss pretty irrelevant.

mildredhubble48 · 18/11/2021 18:47

@Sayke I genuinely can't get worked up about it. Dogs piss on lampposts and gateposts to leave their scent because many other dogs have pissed there before. The rain will wash it away. There are far worse things on our pavement. Chill.

I can't think of much worse than piss

What a sheltered life you must have led.

Yeah? I've seen plenty

I don't believe that cafe tables legs are plastered in dog piss. If you take a dog into a cafe, they are not going to get up from under your table, piss on the table leg, and lie down again. Dogs don't tend to lie in their own excrement.

I clarified it was an outdoor table.

The worst things I've seen a dog do inside a cafe is chew the furniture, yap yap yap and bother other customers

I love to be bothered by friendly dogs in cafes.

You’ve clearly never lived in some of the more ‘less sought after’ areas of the UK. You’d
be grateful that piss was all you were dodging. 😬

Well not everyone does
YesIamTHATmum · 18/11/2021 18:53

Yes it's really annoying when I have the dc out and some horrid dog starts barking or jumping around scaring the dc but the owner simply says 'he won't harm you, he doesn't bite' or jumping into our car When we are getting dc into car seats.

Yeah I don't care just F off with your pooch lady/ man. Some of us really don't care for your pets.

Some owners do have lovely well
Behaved dogs though.

Some need to understand that the dangerous dog act applies to all canines that are aggressive/ intimidating.

Kikkomam · 18/11/2021 18:53

Clearly. I'll be looking around for the person with the cat's bum mouth next time I'm in a dog friendly cafe.

Ok, what's worse than piss?

That someone would realistically come across, not some murderville fantasy.

Vomit is no worse

We've already covered the fact dog shit is rife.

In a cafe? Covid? Kids bogeys?

As long as you keep your dog away from them I'm sure they'll have a jolly good time

@Sayke vomit is SO much worse than piss.

Agree with you wholeheartedly OP, I'd love to see a world without dogs, how lovely that would be. Just this afternoon was sitting in the car waiting for DH in town, and watched at least 6 dog owners taking their precious pets to shit and piss all over the graves in the churchyard. How lovely. Wonder how they'd let them do it on the graves of their own loved ones? I often think I'd love to see towns/streets/areas for those who don't like dogs, then the dog-lovers can all live together, we the non dog-lovers could live together in a clean and quiet environment. But you can't really say any of this in real life or you would be seen as abnormal, for reasons I can't understand.

Have you been in a cafe when someone decides to use the table as a nappy changing facility? I have.. more times than I have seen dogs piss.

AnnListersBlister · 18/11/2021 18:56

I'm always a bit Hmm at people saying they're always getting jumped on by dogs while out. Im a fell runner and have been for over a decade. Its only happened to me once, and I could have probably prevented it but the dog was obviously a pup and I wasn't bothered at all.
