Good day.

You make your parents proud.

My parents also love dogs and would find you quite bizarre, pal

I guess you learned to be inconsiderate from them. Family does impact the type of person one becomes, of course.

I have to say, your attempts at being provocative are sub-par. There are plenty of things to feel defensive about; plenty of things you could get a person worked up about. Insulting my parents because they and I think it's just fine to bring our dogs places where the dogs are allowed - it's just C- trolling at best, honestly.

You don't seem to get that doing some things, even though they are "allowed", is inconsiderate; the fact that these things are "allowed" doesn't change that.

Here are some things that are "allowed":

I am "allowed" to let my toddler scream in a restaurant while I finish my meal because, well, he's a kid and he's feeling temperamental.

I am "allowed" to voice my political views any time: at a dinner party with people I don't know well, at a PTA meeting, in a car when I am carpooling your kids to ballet.

I am "allowed" to tell my kids that their teacher sucks and they shouldn't respect her.

I am "allowed" to tell someone that her new hair color makes her look drained and old.

I am "allowed' to take out my phone, crouch to a half-stand, and record my kid in a school play even though I obstruct your view.

I am "allowed" to recline my seat on a short-haul air flight in coach, even though it will make the person behind me uncomfortable.

And, I am "allowed" to take a dog to Home Depot.

But doing any of those things makes me an oblivious, selfish jerk. Bleating that, "It's allowed! It's OK because it's allowed!" doesn't make me less selfish and obnoxious for doing any of those things.

OK, we take the dogs places where they are specifically allowed, and that makes us "really dumb." You win. Have a great weekend.

Not only you are inconsiderate, you lack reading comprehension skills.

If they raised you as the person you are today, they really did a crappy job as parents.

I'm going to give that one a D+, because it's really just repeating what was said before. To be an effective troll, you have to add something new to the insult - a new observation, some new wit. Someone earlier told me that by liking dogs my parents did a bad job, so you're just doing a +1 there. Lazy, lazy, hack stuff.

You must be really dumb. It's not about liking/not liking your dog. Is that so hard to understand? It's about being considerate which, in most cases, you learn from your parents. Obviously, yours didn't.

How dumbass of a dcum poster like you to think they are better than dogs. Excluding pitbulls who were bred by white europeans to kill bulls if needed and bred for bloodsport, other breeds of dogs can be very much if not smarter and more clever than most humans. My dog would look both ways before we crossed the street (almost never see any human in DC do this), knew everyone by their name, understood 2 languages and always knew what we were saying, apologized when he did something wrong in his own way by folding ears back without me scolding him, had excellent memory.

This sums up it all. When a dog owner think like this, it's hard for anyone to convince him or her that a dog is just an animal.

As someone put it so correctly, we would be forced to believe

Dog owners=Dogs in every aspect including intelligence.

But...why? Why would you do this?

It is "allowed" to burp loudly in restaurants, but it is irksome to other people, and crass. So...do you do that too?

Is that any different than many children in restaurants?

Yes, it is different: children are allowed in restaurants because children are people. Your dog is not a person. Home Depot is not a dog park or vet's office: many people who are allergic to dogs, or just don't like them, need to go to Home Depot for the same home essentials you need, and your desire to "socialize" your dog does not trump their discomfort at having your animal inflicted on them. It is weird and selfish to take your dog to Home Depot, and I can assure you that many people who see you there are thinking this. Taking your dog to Home Depot is so selfish and entitled.

I have a pet I love, but I can't believe people are equating dogs to children in this thread. Yes, children (ie, people) are welcome in more places than are dogs (ie, animals).

Oh, it absolutely does, since it's in their policy that I can bring my dog.

Sorry, not sorry.

You have an issue with Home Depot's policy. Take it up with them.

...and, for the record, my dog isn't inflicted on anyone. She stays at my side the entire time. If that's too much for the allergic, they should live in a bubble. Seriously. (And, I have a ton of allergies, so I'm not unsympathetic.)

The question remains. Why do you need to take your dog to home depot?

It's allowed. End of story. You can order on Amazon, or go to another store, if the occasional dog at Home Depot bothers you THAT much.

You seriously need to look up the word "civility". It's not a question of "allowed" vs "not allowed".

- np

Again: it's allowed. This is your problem, not mine.

You are crass.

Maybe! Your hangups are still not my problem.

Good day.

Doing something you know is offensive to others just because "it is allowed" is selfish, gross behavior. Think about it.

Then stop breastfeeding on public without a cover as many people find this offensive, whereas very few people are offended by dogs.

1. People who are irritated by your dog in Home Depot are not likely to be as ill-bred as you, so they aren't going to confront you and say it.

2. Most people who are irritated by your dog in Home Depot aren't "offended." They are "allergic" or just irritated by dogs.

3. More people are irritated by dogs in public places than are irritated by public breastfeeding because public breastfeeding occurs much less frequently. And so what? How does pointing out another person's behavior justify YOUR behavior?

Bulldog/HD poster here:

PP, you are just silly.

1 - ill-bred because they follow the rules that Home Depot has implemented?

2 - This is really simple. If you are that allergic to dogs, stay away from places that may have dogs. Home Depot is one of those places. There are many others.

3 - Both anti-breastfeeding and anti-people-lawfully-taking-their-dogs-into-Home-Depot groups are psycho.

Hey, my bulldog will cut you off at your kneecaps for the right treat.

J/k, your pup sounds wonderful.

I do not let her jump on people. I let her poop on any grass she wants because once she squats, it's just going to come out. I can't yell "Squeeze it in!" and expect her to listen. But I do bag her poop.

I only take her to restaurants if it's an outdoor cafe. I rarely take her to stores - two or three times in eight years? She is never off-leash outside unless it's a fenced yard.

You are just as rude as the people describes in OP

-dog owner and lover

You do realize that rabbits/fox/deer/mice/woodland creatures of all types crap on everyone's lawn and it doesn't get picked up, right? They are picking up the poop, woodland creatures leave it there for you to step in. Which is worse?

I like dogs, but do not own one.

It's rude for you or anyone else to purposely walk their dog on someomne ele's property and let that animal poop their. My god! Manners reallly are a dying art!

This is what I loved about England. Dogs everywhere And the law of right of way. Here in good 'ol America, we are a bunch of smug, selfish people. I think we should all just relax a little bit and step outside our bubbles. What do you do to control the woodland creature scat on your lawn? Are you just as upset about their lack of manners?

You are absolutely right. So don't complain when I send my 1 year old over to your front lawn to take a crap and leave it there. Nature! Enjoy! Clean up after your dog!

I'm not saying people shouldn't clean up after their dogs. I was responding to the fact that people are upset the dog has step foot on their property and pooped to begin with....even if the owner cleans up after them. If your child needed to poop on my lawn and you cleaned it up, he would be more than welcome. The woodland creatures comment was trying to point out that it's ridiculous that someone is getting upset that a dog pooped on their lawn and the owner cleaned it up, when animals crap on your lawn all the time and it sits there. I hope that clears it up a bit.

It's a stupid analogy. A woodland creature doesn't have a human guiding it's behavior. You as the fog owner allow your dog to wander onto someone's lawn, sandboxm patio etc and go to the bathroom, you the human who knows appropriate social behavior. You are rude. Hope that clears it up for you.


-Dog owner and former UK resident.

I don't own a dog. I am jealous you lived in the U.K. though. Maybe my analogy is stupid, but it is true. If an owner is cleaning up behind their pet, it really isn't a big deal. If it's the same person doing it over and over again, okay, I'll give you that. If it's really that big of a deal, put a fence around your front yard and the problem is solved. May a dog crapping in your yard with an owner cleaning up after it be someone's biggest problem in life. That person is lucky to have a yard.

np. How is that rude? If you were really a dog owner you would know that dogs poop on grass and are allowed to poop on any grass they want. It's only rude if someone doesnt pick up.
