Stop bringing your dog to elementary pick up!

[Anonymous]

You know, not all of us live in Fairfax. My school (in DC) has never said a word about dogs. In fact the person at the entrance doing wellness checks recently joked that she'd like to give a ticket to entry to our dog so she could come inside the building.

So many furious people here. It is mind-boggling.

This actually made me chuckle because these ladies really are getting themselves worked up for some random dog at a school gate. Of all the things to be carrying on about in the world. Some first world problem nonsense over here. People can’t just be happy, they’re so upset you’d think they were walking 10 miles uphill in dog poo to pick up their kids.

Keep your dog effing away from schools. Seriously. Your ugly mutt doesn’t belong there. It is germ ridden, dander ridden, barking, pooping, nonsense. Schools are for kids. Not your filthy animal.

Folks, we found the serial killer. Seriously though, how are people with so much anger like you allowed to have children?

No the actual serial killer is you who can’t follow basic rules and puts your needs and the needs of your dog before the safety of kids going to school. You’re absolutely the type who shouldn’t have kids and likely so emotionally stunted that you NEED your “emotional wubby” with you every where you go. Grow the hell up, PP. You’re behavior isn’t doing your dog any favors.

Sounds like someone needs an emotional aupport animal!

As long as the dog is masked, I really don’t see the big deal.

If you’re on FCPS property then you are breaking school rules. Dogs are not allowed on any school property, period. This is for before and after school. Be respectful of school policies. You can’t just pick And choose what you’ll follow because you think you’re entitled to do
What you want.

I definitely can and do pick and choose what rules to follow. Are you gonna tell the teacher? Lol.

A dog on a leash ran about 8 feet today to try to jump on my 6 year old as we were leaving the school to walk home. If you are going to bring your dog, please don’t let it try to jump on kids, even if the dog is on a leash. Can any lawyers out there tell me who’s rights prevail—my child’s right to leave school property without being accosted by a leashed dog, or a dog owner’s right to bring the dog onto school property? I haven’t complained to the school yet, but I have a hard time believing dog owners don’t know that their dogs will try to jump on kids. In this case, I placed myself between my daughter and the dog, and the owner jerked the leash back, but not before the dog tried to sniff my crotch.

Sounds like you need a shower or change of pants.

I'm not afraid to create a scene. I would have kneed your dog in the chest or kicked it and dared you to do anything about it.

Mmm, ok. So the dog ran at your daughter but sometime during that eight feet you put yourself in front of your daughter and instead of running at you the dog only tried to sniff your crotch? So...basically, the dog turned its head towards you and you freaked out? You literally just said you would kick a dog that TRIED TO SNIFF YOU. Didn't actually sniff you, but tried. So somehow it was originally eight feet from you and ended up being maybe one foot from you? So since you were in front of your daughter it was probably two to three feet from her? Yeah, you're totally in the right for saying you would kick an animal that didn't do anything wrong.

You've confused posters. I wasn't there but would not tolerate what these parents have experienced. I've had so many scary and unpleasant encounters with other peoples dogs since I've had kids that I absolutely will yell at you and kick your dog if I have to.

I stopped going to Huntley Meadows and haven't been in a decade because every time I went there were dogs off leash with no owner in sight. The last time I was there were 2 dobermans following us barking and growling. If I'd had it, I would have maced them. I had a neighbor with a hyperactive golden retriever who always let her dog out off leash if she saw me in my yard with my kids. It was an attention thing for her. Lots of dog owners are that way. They use their dog as an excuse to talk or interact. I had premature twins and they struggled to learn to walk. The dog knocked my kids down several times, scratched them and terrified them. She saw, and like you, did not care. It was all about her dog. I spoke to her and she just laughed because her stupid dog loooves chilcren. The next time the dog came running at as when we were outside, I kicked her dog hard. She was furious but the dog never came out unleashed again. I should have done it the first time it happened.

You're lucky you didn't get decked. I would not have been as kind or understanding as that neighbor was.

I'm capable of handling that. The fact that you see no problem with this woman's dog hurting my children says everything about the kind of low life you are.

You need a chill pill. If your kid is too fragile to see a dog outside, they probably should be home schooled in isolation, or in a special institution for children with special needs.

And yes, I bring my dog to school pick up. Literally never heard of anyone having an issue and my dog is well-behaved of course, so it really doesn't impact others.

But do carry on!

Most hilarious parts so far:
-People would be upset about squirrels at their outdoor pickup
-Kids are having to jump over leashes to exit school
-Weekly dogfights are common at some schools

you need to be isolated from society. go live in the woods or something.

I have not had many issues with small rodents or other small wild animals when I am hiking, never mind in my neighborhood. I carried bear spray when I was backpacking and hiking in the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. The National Parks close off trails were there is high bear activity, and wolf activity, in both parks. Precautions were taken to help protect people. Kind of like having signs up saying "dogs not allowed on school grounds" at FCPS. The rule is there to protect the humans and the dogs but it only works when people follow the rules.

I looooooove dogs. But if your dog comes on my property and is about to hurt my kids...I'm going to stop it from doing that even if it means kicking it. Sorry not sorry.

Nope. Intentionally trying to hurt an innocent dog is bottom of the barrel scum of the earth level. Sorry not sorry just calling it out for what it is.
