Bloody dogs in park burst my son's football!!!

[Failingatthemoment]

6 And 7 year olds playing with their football in the park, bloody dog comes over and grabs the ball and bursts it. No sign of dog owner 2 v upset children.

If it’s a dickhead dog, it’s usually a dickhead owner. Weird correlation that a lot of people will try to deny:

I am sorry threads on MN upset you so much that you have to run and tell tales on another website. You should relax a bit. No need to take comments here so seriously. Kids getting upset about a ball bursting shouldn’t affect you so deeply that you have to vent elsewhere.

I would have asked her for money to replace the coat.

And I wouldn't have an ongoing friendly acquaintanceship with someone who supports the breeding of dogs that are so inbred they suffer every minute of their lives. The cruelty and selfishness is off the scale (her not you).

Sorry, where did I say I have done that? I have indeed laughed about certain threads on Mumsnet, but this isn’t really a worthy one 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh and believe me, we’re certainly not taking anything seriously when we discuss threads on there, apart from rightfully calling out the pro Ana bullshit that pops up.

To get an example of gross dogs and their shit owners being selfish and ruining public spaces?

No. For that I need to go back about 3 hours (last time I was outside).

I was reminded of the beach story as another poster shared an anecdote that also happened on a beach. And it was, even by the standards of dogs and their owners, extraordinarily disgusting. Managed to ruin the enjoyment and memory of a rare day out so it stuck in my head.

Hope that helps you to understand a bit better xxx

Call the police, lock them up and throw away the key!!!

I've been hit by a ball kicked by kids at the park before. Perhaps I shouldn't have laughed it off and had them done for assault instead?

Eh? You really had to go and search my previous posts to bring up something totally irrelevant? Go outside and touch the grass.

Perhaps you should go and search "The doghouse" forum to see if I am a secret dog owner. Maybe I am even the secret owner of the dog who burst the ball.

This will teach me to never go on a dog thread again.

What a nasty thing to say.

A cocker spaniel nicked my son’s barely eaten ice cream clean out of his hand at the park the other week

A dog owner on another dog thread today claimed that dogs would never take food from a human as they know their place in the pecking order. Innit.

That’s fine. But regarding this: I usually just lurk and then laugh about it on the Tattle thread, I have zero respect for anyone that reads posts here than races off to bitch about it elsewhere. I will never consider that behaviour anything other than completely pathetic and embarrassing. I daresay you can live with that.

People are weird. It’s like there is no middle ground between being devastated and shaking with anger about your kids’ ball bursting, and laughing in a super cool chilled way about it.

I expect most sane people are in the middle. Would be reasonably pissed off, especially if the owner didn’t apologise, then they would go home and get on with their day.

Oh sorry, I forgot about the crazed dog fans on MN. Who would not believe it had ever happened in the first place.

😂 well this one clearly thought that place was above a random small child 😂

Indeed. The theory is fundamentally flawed.
