I mean ... people are also bad for the environment, and many are poorly behaved.

But we serve a purpose.

It's great you love your dog, but don't force your dog on the rest of us. Move your dog aside when people are walking by you, stop letting your dog trample/pee on people's yards, use real leashes, and train your dog.

Your laziness is no one else's burden.

Yep I am there with you. I don't like dogs.
Cats are my people.

I love cats too! I love all the animals. I don't trust people who don't like them. There is something absent in their soul.

There are good dog owners and there are bad dog owners.

But, even as a lover of dogs, I do not like hyperactive tiny dogs or large, ferocious breeds.

I understand those who do not like dogs' barking, excessively excited behavior, or presence of dog waste.

My creature is a better companion than a judge-y human who thinks "beckon call" makes sense.

What irks me the most is letting them off leash everywhere. Aren't they afraid their dog is going to get hit by a car? I don't let my pup off leash anywhere that isn't completely enclosed. Not even so much because it's the law, but because I love her and don't want anything to do happen to her. It also bothers me that people bring their dogs to the grocery store. I like to take my dog out with me, but I don't take her anywhere she isn't allowed, and if I'm not sure, I don't. These are probably the same people who litter and do other anti-social, entitled things.

All that said, yes, dogs are extremely annoying. Mine is always following me around the house, and if she's sitting still, she's staring at me. If they were human beings, they'd be the neediest, most clingy people ever! But they're cute and they love us, so I just smile to myself when my dog is staring adoringly at me like a weirdo.

Ugh... this.

People have no idea the regulations that rule farmers. They are required to not harvest any crop where animal feces has been spotted in the field. But I was at Whole Foods the other day and two people were pushing their "baby" around in the main part of the cart, where the next people need to put their food. So E. coli from deer or rabbits cause the food to be thrown away, but I can put my produce down where your dog's butt was and there is no problem. In this case, I was a "Karen," despite knowing that it was futile, and reminded them that this was against health codes. But I have no illusion that they will stop.

Is this the P St WF? Yuck!
