To REALLY HATE DOGS?

[Cockwomble]

Slobbering everywhere wagging their tails, coming up to me licking my hand.

They STINK, get their GRUBBY MUDDY paws ALL OVER ME and leave hair everywhere.

They run wildly around parks, savaging all the babies and elderly. BASTARDS. Eating poo and spreading diseases. A HAIRY MENACE.

I don't really like dogs like others. I don't mind some of my friends dogs who seem well trained and don't jump, lick or crotch sniff, but I know those dogs and trust the owners.
It's the stupid owners I really don't like, I don't care if your dog is friendly, likes kids, won't bite. Keep it the hell away from me. Some stupid owners let them, run up, crotch sniff, lick, jump then get mad cause I don't want to pet their precious baby.
Some people are allergic, my ex bosses son breaks out in a rash that turns to blisters when he touches dogs, they ended up getting rid of their family lab because of this, the dog went to family. They don't need strange dogs licking the childs face, resulting in him looking like he has leprosy poor kid.
I was bitten as a child by strange dogs twice (silly little lap dogs that I looked sideways at) then was blamed by the owners for it, I never even touched the dam dogs.
I've since been charged by a loose American pit bull with her pup who'd been left to roam near the kids school bus stop. That gave me a good cardiac workout and resulted in me only doing pick up in the car for the rest of the school year.
I can't wait to move it seems we are getting a lot of new people moving in round here who keep pit bulls, even the next door neighbor got one, theirs seems to be very well trained, he never even comes near the fence and does exactly as the woman tells him when she's out with him and he never bothers their horses in the back of the house. I only hear him bark if strangers walk by.
Sorry for the ramble, I really wish people would keep the dogs on leashes, and keep dogs locked up when they aren't home.

I completely agree, keep them on a leash unless you're on the field etc.

One of mine likes to lie in the front garden with her nose just under the gate, some idiot chav walked past with his staff, off a lead. It just grabbed my poor girls cheek and locked on, wouldn't let go. My dad had to rush out and grab the dog off her (hard task). He nearly bloody killed the idiot who hadn't had the dog on a lead.

Ah whitewidow maybe there is a dog for me after all I do like a clean paw!

california thats true really,I dont dislike dogs im just a bit wary of them around the kids and a bit squeamish about their excretions as i am with humans too
Whe i was pg I has spd and could only just reach a bench to pick up dd from school.
I was down to only one pair of trousers that fitted and a dog came over and drooled all over them,the woman just laughed,I could have cried.
Another dog actually jumped up onto the pram with dd who was a few days old,i was really shocked especially when the owner said nothing,didnt even call it away.
Its definately the few owners who give dogs a bad press.

Agree again! It's hardly ever a bad dog, it's a bad owner!

I have two lovely whippets that I wouldnt swop for all the tea in China,if there were any tea left in China as they seem to have exported it all in exchange for hard currencies that they are now using to buy up all the food firms in the EU like Kellogs and Winalot.But I must admit they do whiff a bit.The whippets that is.

Cockwomble, this is hilarious! I totally agree. They run riot here too. There's a bull mastiff at the farm in front of me that runs loose, unsupervised, and another seen roaming the fields out the back and a rottweiler that patrols the grounds of an estate, not to mention all the stafforshires that aren't on leads....some days I'm too terrified to leave the house!

If he is muddy I wipe his feet, if he has just had a little walk outside he will lick them. Staffies have sort of teflon coated fur - doesn't seem to let mud stick. Mine is very clean and if he starts to smell a little bit doggy He is washed in strawberry shampoo and smells luscious.

YANBU. Dogs are also very needy.

They suffocate me, both emotionally and in an olfactory sort of a way.

My mum has 3, who only really get out if I walk them. One is sort of alright in a kind of dog way, one STINKS of old dog fart, and one is actually Satan in disguise, if Satan were a particularly stupid lab/ springer cross. That one can't even go outside, it's a fucking idiot.

AAAWWW but doggywoggy in my house is ssooooo KYUUUUTE! When DH is away on business or out for one of his stoopid bike rider thingys doggywoggy get to sleep in my bed...I like her smell but not her farts but it is much the same as DH.

Cockwomble, the response from dog owners is quite telling I'm sure you'll find.....

Can I swap my park dogs for yours CockWomble, that'd be great if they ate some of the crap their owners can't be arsed clearing

I do think they are cute but they smell so bad, EVERYONE who has a dog think that their house doesn't smell but it does, all your possessions, clothes, hair skin, car smells doggy. It is not sexy.

Mine doesn't, and I'm not just 'thinking' it. If you keep it clean and hovered its fine, I've got a load of smelly things too that I love. I have been in people's houses though and they've stunk of dog.

What's being sexy got to do with I anyway...

Even the most un-smelly dogs walk around with their anus fully exposed sitting on furniture/rugs/ carpets ew

And your point is? They're not got Poo on them!

I think it's quite reasonable to say that I wouldn't want a carnivorous animal's anus all over my soft furnishing TVM

Dogs are lovely!
Soft, tender juicy. Especially in a delicious Korean stew.

Just add rice, with a spicy mole relish.

all bum holes are dirty, it may have been a clean sweep of a shit but there are still remnants there, that get transferred to the sofa, carpet etc. never met a dog that didn't stink, they all do unless freshly washed and even then then smell, orrible'

You'd let your kids climb naked on the sofa wouldn't you? Oh but all bum holes are dirty....

Dogs shouldnt smell bad (unless they're farting) if they're looked after properly. A dog smelling bad is a sign of many things. Or old age.

People comment on how mine don't smell like its a bloody miracle, it isn't. It's just looking after them.

kids wear clothes whitewidow and they are human beings like us. Dog hair has it's own odour I'm sure very attractive to other dogs but very distinctive to people especially non dog owners.

People saying your don't smell are being polite sorry.

woah there!

Most dogs anus' are covered up by their tails and they don't sit in a way that rubs them up against anything anyway. Poor things can't win, either they lick their bottoms which is supposed to be yuk or they don't whioch is also yuk!

Over the years I have had many friends/colleagues/relations who have been ill through dodgy takeaways, shellfish etc. etc. they have picked up bugs from their children/at work/the gym and the disgusting toilet habits of human beings who don't wash their hands and leave bacteria all over door handles etc. I can't think of one person I have known, ever, who has been made ill by a dog. If you think about it vets seem to be less fussy about gloves masks etc. too and they are dealing with these creatures all day.

I was always told ( nt sure if it is true) that dog spittle is highly antiseptic.
