Dogs everywhere!

[WilmaFlintstone38]

In shops and cafes, barking and making people jump, tripping over them in the street... Seems everyone and their Auntie Flo has a dog nowadays.

@Onleemoi

Don’t care about the rules. That’s my opinion which I am entitled to. Dogs (besides service dogs) should not be in restaurants or cafes.

Your opinion means nothing. The opinion of the business is the only one that counts.

@Onleemoi

dont care. I just don’t go in cafes and restaurants that allow dogs.

Cool. What’s the problem then?

No clinkers on my dogs bums 😆

Just examined my dogs....free of clinkers 🤣

I’d send a pic as evidence of my dog’s clinker free bum but some of these lot would like that.

i genuinely cannot believe that some people think a dogs arse is preferable to be on a chair than a humans arse
hahahah 🤣

I’ve only been responding to your post about dogs being allowed in cafes. Stop talking about their bums constantly. It’s so weird.

Well I adore dogs the more the better for me.However I realise of course that not everyone does! We had coffee in a shop in Salisbury .There was a "doggie" section specially for the Canine chums.That seemed fine to me a good compromise .There was a super young collie, thoroughly enjoying himself sitting on the chair being admired by everyone!

Would a dog sitting on the chair be better or worse than a human with a short skirt wearing a thong or other minimalist underwear sitting on the chair? 🤔

Worse, you can get giardia, e coli, salmonella, worms and mites from a dog. Your dog might be clean but there's no guarantee every dog is. Especially with the uptick in raw feeding, their mouths and bums are full of bacteria. Dogs belong on the floor and away from where we eat/food. Brucella can cause miscarriages in humans. I love dogs but they belong playing in fields and laying on a dog bed, not near food. A dog on a seat is like putting your dirty trainers all over a seat and expecting someone else to sit on it after you - dogs play where other dogs poo and have bacteria on their paws and feet.

@Onleemoi

haha as if you can tell me what I can and can’t talk about. Newsflash - you can’t.
i can talk about what I want, thank you very much. And the reason why I talk about their bums is cos that’s one of the things about dog owners that piss me off the most - when they sit their dogs on seats that humans too then have to use.

Exactly! A voice of reason

Oh yes, I remember all the reports of people catching E. coli by sitting on a chair that a dog has sat on. It’s practically an epidemic.

The dog explosion is one thing.. it's all the shit (literal and figurative) that goes with it that I hate.

Dog shops everywhere selling overpriced tat to gullible people, cafés selling dog ice cream and dog lattes. Pet shops selling dog wine and dog party ring biscuits. Its deranged 🤡

I thought we were in a cost of living crisis?

Not really. Dogs don't play with other dog's poo... and what on earth does "paws and feet" mean?

What other people spend their money on is nothing to do with you. I get my dog a doggy ice cream if a place has them. How does that affect you exactly?

So what if people buy those for their dogs, my 2 have had nothing like that.

@YeOldeGreyhound

dogs can get worms which can be very dangerous to humans

Human can get worms. People are more likely to be ill from stuff caught from other humans. And our mouths have just as much bacteria as dogs do.

You can also pass worms to your own dog.

@YeOldeGreyhound

No dog worms are worse. Toxocariasis. why can’t you just admit that? Are you actually a greyhound?

You can only get worms from dogs if the dog actually has worms. And you can not actually get it from poo. It is also rare.

Greyhounds have more intelligence than fruit trees.

@YeOldeGreyhound

it does happen. And the consequences can be so bad.

and also I just don’t like walking around the pavements that have dog shit stomped across them. Coastal towns are often bad for this as everyone wants to talk their dogs for a nice walk on the beach. Don’t wanna get any on my nice shoes.

No one likes walking in dog shit. I hate it just as much as anyone else.
