[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not that much work, especially if you have a fenced in yard. And especially if you have little dogs that don't really need walks. And you can get non shedders too. [/quote]

But I do have a fenced in yard! (OP here.)

Even the non shedders will get dirt on them outside and track it in inside and then get it on your upholstery and rugs and floors and bed.

Like, what’s the point of washing your throw blankets and sheets if a dirty dog is going to get on them? And don’t tell me you get your dog washed or groomed several times a week. I know no one who does that.

Also, anuses. There, I said it.[/quote]

They definitely track dirty into the house and are not no work. I just don't think they're a ton of work.

I personally have no carpet and washable throw rugs. We have robot vacuums with mops that run daily.

And no, I don't bathe my dogs constantly, and they're in my wooded yard in the leaves and sticks. It doesn't really bother me, but I wouldn't hold it against anyone that they don't want that in their house.

But every time people call my dogs gross, I just think about my sweet upper east side nephew who literally licks the subway windows and poles, plays on the sidewalks, pushes elevator buttons and then sticks his fingers in his mouth, and urinated behind a bolted to the wall dresser.

I'm also devastated to inform you that humans also have anuses.

I'm mostly joking here. If you don't like dogs, it doesn't bother me. You shouldn't get them. But I laugh at my pet-hating sister who has an absolutely filthy and adorable NYC toddler. [/quote]

OP here. Thank you for your humorous and gracious post. Super helpful perspective. Appreciate everyone being so open and kind.

And yeah, humans have anuses but they are usually covered (I hope), not rubbing/grazing on upholstery, and humans wash their bodies throughly (again, I hope) and quite often.

Thank you kind posters. And to the cat person—no way. Cats are 🤮 to me. Many people have allergies + cat litter smell is gross. And don’t tell me your cat is “just like a dog!!!” Because the. you should see my OP 🙃.[/quote]

OK, so you don't like dogs OR cats.  You sound uptight and miserable.

Thanks for breaking the streak of nice people on the thread.

I’m actually quite happy.

You’re the one who is giving misanthrope vibes. Happy New Year![/quote]
