[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you're being harsh. The dog lives with her. The dog is part of her family. Not a child (and I agree that wayyyyyy too many dog people are overly liberal with their dogs) but asking someone to get rid of their pet is excessive.

If she were bringing the dog everywhere, to stores, restaurants, other people's homes, I'd agree with you. But in HER home? I mean that's where pets are *supposed* to stay.[/quote]

How does it affect you personally if anyone views their dog as their fur baby?  It does not[/quote]

Oh except it does. It means she will bring it on planes, into restaurants, into the grocery store, and then enact high drama if anyone suggests that Priscilla shouldn't be sniffing the meat cast. It's her BABY after all. These people (mostly women IME) have become such unmanageable brats that we all just let them get away with it.

People can have all the fur babies they want AT HOME. Dress them up, feed them steak from the good china, let them lick your mouth, I don't care. But keep them out of public places please. They are not children; they have no potential for a future in productive society. They will die at 10-13-15 years old and their bereft "mothers" will run out and buy a replacement. [/quote]

For the record, the most unhinged, entitled "dog parent" I know is a man. He's my neighbor and he professes to love animals and then uses his dogs as an excuse for being a hostile, terrifying ahole. I feel bad for his dogs but I feel more bad for me who has to live right next to him.

I don't think the horrible dog parents issue is something unique to women. My best friend is a self-described "dog mom" and she and her dog are extremely kind and wonderful and she never takes her dog into the grocery store or restaurants (the occasional patio where they are allowed, but not inside), plus her dog is well-trained and well-behaved.

This is not a gendered problem. [b]Crap dog owners are a universal scourge[/b].[/quote]

We agree on that last point! And I'm not out to bash women or anything, it's just been my experience. When I get clotheslined by a dog on a retractible leash, it's a woman holding the other end and looking at her phone. In the stores, always women with purse dogs. I can only think of one dude (with a cropped pitbull of course) in my neighborhood who takes his dog where it doesn't belong. Whereas I see women doing it every single day. So many I can't even ID them all. [/quote]
