I have a kid who is terrified of dogs and we've taken to asking dog owners to shorten leashes when they are walking on sidewalks with a long, slack leash. They'll even see my DD is hesitant and say "oh he's very friendly!" but not shorten the leash or do anything to show they have control over the dog.

You should have to pass a test on dog etiquette before you adopt one.


If the dog is on leash, they are complying with the law and have the right to be on the sidewalk just like your family. Pick up your daughter if she's that scared, or cross to the other side.


NP. No, you shorten the damn leash!


The dog is on leash. That’s all that’s necessary.


And I'm sure you wonder why we bash horrible dog owners like you.


My dog is on leash, walking quietly next to me. Your child is the one turning red, flipping out, screaming. Who’s misbehaving again?


Not only are you a horrible person for thinking your dog is more important than a child, you're also making shit up. Nowhere did PP say "turning red, flipping out, screaming," but how would you make your nonexistent point without making shit up.

You are the assh0le, how and forever, and are not mentaly stable enough to have a dog.


My dog is just existing in space, as is his right. If your child isn’t that upset, why on earth are you making demands of strangers?


Your dog has no rights whatsoever, at least not in a legal sense.


Who is talking about legality? Are you going to call the police because my dog is walking peaceably next to me on leash? You know there is actual crime going on in the world, right?

But your dog is not just existing in space. He's on a public sidewalk, and he has to share that sidewalk. Including giving a reasonable amount of space to any person (not just a kid, but especially kids) who might not want to interact with him. That's what the leash is for, and that's why leash laws exist.

You are more than welcome to take your dog places where he doesn't have to share the space. Get a house with a big yard, take him to the dog park, go live somewhere where there is little foot traffic on the roads. But if you are in a populated area with leash laws, you are obligated to keep the leash short enough that someone could walk by without having to worry about your dog getting close to them.


I live in NYC. A dog will always be close to anyone they are passing.

Why did you feel the need to make stuff up to bolster your argument that your dog is just existing in space? Why are you oblivious to the fact that many children are afraid of dogs? Why do you think your dog is more important than a child? Why are you such a shit human that you are taking pride in upsetting a child? So many questions.

Also, it's the law. THAT'S WHY.


A dog on leash is the law. I comply with the law. I don’t use a retractable leash. It’s not my problem that your child has an irrational fear. Seek help because dogs are everywhere and they’re not going anywhere.

My dumb neighbor thinks like you. Puts her ugly frenchie on a 20 foot retractable leash. So far she has bitten 3 neighbors, including me. It's not a question of if she will get sued, but when. But go on.


The biting is the problem, not the leash.


The dog would not be able to bite if she held her on a two foot leash when passing others. Get real.


If you have a dog that tends towards biting, that’s the problem, not the leash. They need training and a muzzle, not a shorter leash.

A lot of women start doing this when they have kids, specifically to talk about their kids. It's so obnoxious. The parenting list serve in my neighborhood is all "Aw, my little just outgrew this stacking toy. It's the cutest! I hope it finds a great home with another wee nugget!" Like omg you are 42 years old do you hear yourself?


‘Littles’ is another one that kills me. I constantly see ‘Hi, I’m a proud mama of four littles!’ Little WHAT?

Oh also, people who constantly use therapy speak…

“I’m really disregulated today”

“I’m doing some nervous system work and your comments were really triggering to me”

“I’m not okay with you gaslighting me”

When anyone reaches their 90s and then dies it is not "tragic". They are the lucky ones among us and essentially won the long life lottery.
The privilege of living that long is an achievement and while their life should be celebrated, what other outcome was expected?????


Definitely agree with this. I had a coworker who lost her 95 year old mother to covid in 2021. She saw on Facebook (due to my mother posting unauthorized photos) that I had an outdoor birthday party for my son and she lost it at me. "THIS VIRUS IS NO JOKE. I LOST MY MOTHER" Well, she was slowly fading from Alzheimers and then had a quick death. I don't think that's a bad outcome.


+1

This. My mother was devastated for 18 months after my grandfather died at the age of 88. So much so that I felt that i couldn't tell her about my repeat pregnancy losses because I couldn't add to her sadness. Her grief just sucked all of the air out of the room. I've made peace with it now, but there's still a part of me that's angry that I couldn't rely on my mom when I was going through one of the worst periods of my own life.
