[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holy hell, you're all intolerable.  How about this: I wouldn't choose to spend 5 minutes with ANY of you even if you were the only house with power in 100 miles, pets or no pets.

I'd rather chew my own fingers off, drink my own urine, and freeze to death than listen to you harpies IRL.[/quote]

ITA. Some of these dog people are truly weirdos, and I'll have neither them nor their animals in my house or company.[/quote]

Well, part of the problem on this thread is there have been purposely inflammatory posts.  The whole "if your dog dies, you can buy a new one" bit was meant to fire the dog people up.  And it worked.

I don't go around IRL arguing with people about dogs.  I don't bring my dogs where they are not wanted.  But I also don't tolerate people who say things to intentionally upset or offend me.  So if someone said that to me IRL, I'd probably avoid that person.

And for what it's worth, I wouldn't accept an invitation from someone who didn't want dogs in their home.  I would politely decline.  Even if they begrudgingly said I could bring my pets, if I sensed that they would resent me for it or they would feel so incredibly put out by it, I wouldn't accept.  I would take care of things on my own, which is what I normally do anyhow.

I don't really understand the animosity toward dog people or pet people.  I don't bring my pets where they're not wanted.  I always keep them on a leash when out.  I give a wide birth to people walking on sidewalks.  But, yes, I do care about my pets.  They give me joy.  And I recognize they are sentient beings.  So I care about their well being.  I don't want them to suffer.  I don't even want them to be uncomfortable.  How is that any skin off your back?  What because you can't pat yourself on the back that you're some kind of super hero for hosting a bunch of people during a storm?  Because I don't take you up on an offer?  I don't get it.
