Let your dog run around in your own damn yard people. We totally noticed that today. I have a 2 year old that is TERRIFIED of dogs. Having your dog running towards her is not helping.

My dog is terrified of 2 year olds. Having toddlers run toward him isn't helping.

OMG. You dog freaks need to STOP with the dog-child false equivalency bullshit. It is offensive and not helping your cause.

Now, she is good at reading people: she can tell who likes dogs and who doesn't. She will got up to a dog person, and ignore you. But, if she did sniff you, and you hurt her, either pepper spray, or kicking, you would be spending the night in jail. I would have you arrested. FUCKHEAD

LOL good luck with that. Human beings are allowed to protect themselves against strange animals. Be it dog, racoon, or otherwise. You can't "have someone arrested" because you don't like what they did for their own legal safety protection.

I'd pepper spray any strange animal that comes up to me. I'm not a mind reader of dogs I don't know what your dog will do, if it's going to jump or bite me, and I'm not going to wait to find out. Keep your dog by you, and in your control at all times when you're in public. It's so very simple, and everyone's happy.

NP. If you'd attack someone's pet just for existing in your general vicinity, there is something wrong with you. You seem to relish the idea of harming animals.

I'm also an amateur phtotographer and have been trying to get nice pristine snow pictures so this despoiling of the snow and yard was upsetting. I spent several hours fixing the damage and burying the yellow and gold snow. It was disgusting and I had to throw out my yard work gloves after touching the yellow and gold pee snow. Yuck! I'm sure there was also spittle from the dog salivating all over the yard in the snow too because he chewed up some of the snow.

At first, I thought you were just a high strung, entitled person who started this thread to bring out the crazy dog haters. Now, I know you're just a troll who started this thread to bring out the crazy dog haters.

Of course I would never go up to an animal and harm it. But if your animal comes up to me, that's a different story. You should never be letting your animals do that. If you think it's ok to disregard others in lieu of your dog, you have some serious entitlement and self-absorption issues.

You know that people aren't psychic and don't know your dog like you do, right? Try and think outside of yourself once in a while.

And the next dog that comes up to me, especially unleashed, will be pepper sprayed. Your dog running up or jumping on me? Not gonna happen.

The fact you would inflict pain on an animal who simply wants to see you is VERY VERY DC and why you couldn't PAY me to stay in this area once my youngest graduates.

You can even have the snow from my back yard and deck if it would help. I know it will not be the same as your very own, landed on your own yard, snow, but perhaps it can ease your pain a bit. I'm here for you.

I think we should start a 'snow fund' and all of us should donate our pristine snow. I have four acres of it, and I'd be glad to go 'snow bankrupt' for this worthy cause.

Old Town. Today a whole bunch of neighbors had their dogs off-leash romping in the street. We didn't go out to play because of it. My preschooler isn't keen on dogs, and the dogs were really romping around. I was afraid they might be a little stir crazy from cabin fever, as another PP mentioned, and didn't want to risk any interaction.

Old Town is like Ground Zero for the creepy entitled Dog People with their ridiculous "furbabies." I remember over a decade ago walking my <1yo baby in a stroller down there on a Saturday morning and the disgusted looks and dramatic sighs we got from people who thought my tiny Maclaren stroller was taking up too much space on their precious sidewalk, while cooing and squealing over every dog - no matter how large and butt-sniffing/jumping/space invading - that passed by. It was bizarre then, and it has only gotten worse.

I don't have a dog, or any pets. I just think that being eager to harm someone's pet because they sniffed around your shoes or whatever is kind of sick. If your cat rubbed against my leg and I maced it in the eyes, because I just couldn't be sure if it would scratch me, I think you'd have a problem with that.

Cat owner here. I wouldn't be happy, but I would understand that it was the risk I took when I let my cat roam outdoors without a leash. That's how cats die, and I say that as someone who did lose a cat that way (ate a poisoned gopher). I was sad as hell, but it never occurred to me to blame the neighbor who used poison to protect his own property from rodents.

Again, I'm not psychic. Could you explain how on earth I (or anyone else) is supposed to know this? WE DON'T KNOW YOUR DOG.

You shouldn't live in old town if you don't like dogs. The whole area is very openly dog friendly, you can bring dogs in most stores on king st. No one judges you for cooing over your baby, let them coo over their dogs. And that's not equivocating the two, just saying that is not up to you top dictate what another person loves

Jesus, people. There are leash laws. Follow them. The end.
