[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Several of my neighbors bring their dogs to our very crowded elementary school bus stop every morning (15+ kids and a bunch of parents).  There are even a couple of neighbors without children who bring their dogs just to hang out with the other dog owners!  It annoys the shit out of me.  I don't like strange dogs getting in my children's space.[/quote]

Kids have families and families often have dogs. As a dog owner, I would agree that it is inconsiderate to drag a dog (especially a jumpy, excitable one) into a crowd of people. Sometimes it is unavoidable, as you happen to have to divert from your original plan and stand around to walk a kid home because your partner or dh or whatever had to work late, etc. Many younger dogs should and can't be left home at a moments notice because they may have just eaten and then the urge to poop will overtake them in their crate. I have gotten caught having to drag the little pooch out with me because of her endless house training issues--my Jack is always with me as he always seems like he could pee very 20 mins or so. I remember when my kids were toddlers and I would infuriate everyone by refusing to attend family gatherings during the kids nap time. I had 3 kids under 4 at one time and was always feeding, schlepping or letting one sleep. I guess it is annoying to people that I bringing the pooch everywhere--but it's either that or come home to a very upset pup standing in his own pee/poop.[/quote]
