Now, she is good at reading people: she can tell who likes dogs and who doesn't. She will got up to a dog person, and ignore you. But, if she did sniff you, and you hurt her, either pepper spray, or kicking, you would be spending the night in jail. I would have you arrested. FUCKHEAD

LOL good luck with that. Human beings are allowed to protect themselves against strange animals. Be it dog, racoon, or otherwise. You can't "have someone arrested" because you don't like what they did for their own legal safety protection.

I'd pepper spray any strange animal that comes up to me. I'm not a mind reader of dogs I don't know what your dog will do, if it's going to jump or bite me, and I'm not going to wait to find out. Keep your dog by you, and in your control at all times when you're in public. It's so very simple, and everyone's happy.

NP. If you'd attack someone's pet just for existing in your general vicinity, there is something wrong with you. You seem to relish the idea of harming animals.

And there are animal cruelty laws in most states nowadays. I will definitely press charges against PPs psycho ass. Good luck proving to a jury that my dog harmed you when you don't have a single scratch on you.

Do you really think a jury trial would be convened over something like this? You sound sort of delusional. The best way to protect your pets is to keep them on your property and obey the leash laws in public.

+1. Be respectful of people who don't want dogs on their property and don't want dogs jumping on them. If you want the leash laws abolished, you should petition your representatives, not ignore the law.

This is at least the 2nd time you have used this word. (I refuse to read this whole insane thread, so it may be more than 2 times)
Do you know the meaning of this word? You don’t appear to......

I agree. Also, you might get shot. This is a bigger infraction than stealing a parking space.

Old Town. Today a whole bunch of neighbors had their dogs off-leash romping in the street. We didn't go out to play because of it. My preschooler isn't keen on dogs, and the dogs were really romping around. I was afraid they might be a little stir crazy from cabin fever, as another PP mentioned, and didn't want to risk any interaction.

Old Town is like Ground Zero for the creepy entitled Dog People with their ridiculous "furbabies." I remember over a decade ago walking my <1yo baby in a stroller down there on a Saturday morning and the disgusted looks and dramatic sighs we got from people who thought my tiny Maclaren stroller was taking up too much space on their precious sidewalk, while cooing and squealing over every dog - no matter how large and butt-sniffing/jumping/space invading - that passed by. It was bizarre then, and it has only gotten worse.

You shouldn't live in old town if you don't like dogs. The whole area is very openly dog friendly, you can bring dogs in most stores on king st. No one judges you for cooing over your baby, let them coo over their dogs. And that's not equivocating the two, just saying that is not up to you top dictate what another person loves

I'm the first Old Town responder above. I have no problem with dogs walking around our neighborhood or Old Town . . . as long as they're leashed.

I should add that it's not normally a problem, but because of the snow all normalcy went out the window, so OP has a dog peeing in her yard, PP has a dog pooping on her shoveled path, and I had a makeshift dog park on my street.

Let your dog run around in your own damn yard people. We totally noticed that today. I have a 2 year old that is TERRIFIED of dogs. Having your dog running towards her is not helping.

My dog is terrified of 2 year olds. Having toddlers run toward him isn't helping.

OMG. You dog freaks need to STOP with the dog-child false equivalency bullshit. It is offensive and not helping your cause.

I didn't say they were equal, you inferred it. But my dog is terrified of little kids, and I can't believe how many parents let their kids run up to strange dogs. It disrupts my efforts to socialize my dog and help her get over her fears (which she got because she was abused before I adopted her) and it is dangerous for the child. Always ask the dog's owner before approaching. It is not hard.

Right. Except your dog is an effing animal and the 2 yr old is a PERSON. Why don't dog people get this?? He doesn't have the same rights as a PERSON.

The point is, don't let your toddler run up to my dog! (I don't let my dog run up to people, not that he'd want to, ever).

I think OP is messing with us.

This is OP. My cat is a pedigreed Russian blue and she is harnessed and confined to her run when she goes out. I'm not sure how she caught a mouse, I guess it was stupid enough to go in her run. She has several ledges in there to climb on. She only gets premium kibble so she's not hungry for mouse, it's just instinct.

The only people with 2 year olds who are terrified of dogs are dog haters. Truth.

Agree with this except you'd be spending the night in the hospital after I kick the shit out of you.

I'm completely at a loss how this is so difficult for many dog owners to understand. Leash your dog (a non-retractable one). Everyone's happy. everyone can enjoy the snow. Everyone's safe.

It's. So. Easy.
