Entitled dog owners

[Shuvi McTupya]

Personally i love other peoples dogs coming up for a stroke.

I am not impressed if they are muddy and want to jump up at me, but its not the end of the world either as i am generally not meeting dogs when i am smartly dressed and i wash my clothes anyway..

I have to agree with the OP. Dog owners seem to think everyone else likes dogs.
Especially the bit where us non-dog-lovers start to push the nasty creatures away from us (or our children). It's usually a "He won't hurt you". What's that got to do with it? I simply don't want it sniffing round me when it's just been sniffing another dog's backside.

So I have purchased an ultrasonic device (I'm sure you know what I mean) and I have great fun with it. It annoys the owners as much as the dogs, and that's just great.
An angry old lady once asked me "is that a stun gun?" and I just refused to answer her. She told me I needed a licence, and I said no I didn't. I said I'd use it as much as I liked if she didn't keep her dog away from me.
Seemed to work though, she went off in a huff.

Yep cats almost as bad as dogs. But the owners are generally worse.

There's two down my road both curl a couple out in my flower beds every day.

Then sit on my beautifully polished bonnet scratching the lacquer in the process.

Like many dog owners, cat owners overall dont a st about their pets behaviour.

Presumably they might show some concern when Felix accidentally gets clipped by my car exiting my drive.

You don't own cats, they own you

Cool story bro.

Sounds like one approach to take

You obviously haven't read prizams post about his mate Dave in the 3some thread

If their owners are happy to be controlled by something as selfish and totally independent as a flea ridden moggy then that perfectly describes the owners tragic and empty lives so more fool them.

I've got two cats and a dog

Agreed, however this will soon be full of dog owners saying you're wrong.

ETA. Don't get me started on dogs in pubs.

Would rather share a pub with dogs than kids any day of the week.

The pub I generally drink in doesn't allow children but does dogs.
Don't come staring at me because I've got a bag of crisps/nuts, don't jump up at me, thanks very much.

Pet owners are all fking mental.

Criticise their pet which in some part of the world is dinner and you get looked at like Gary Glitter outside a primary school.

Weird people.

All crisps belong to dogs, if you are lucky they will let you have some.

Can't help but notice that the people posting here who don't have dogs seem awfully angry. A little furry chum would probably help with that.

Don't talk piffle, cat's claws can't scratch car paint, they are made of keratin, same as your own nails.

That's it. They cannot comprehend that many people cannot stand dogs and cats.
Show the slightest sign of annoyance at some stinking dog and the owner is hopping mad.

What I find intriguing is that every single one of my 5 ex girlfriends has gone and bought a Cockapoo type thingy doggy pooch when our relationship finished.

Dodged a bullet or 5 there I reckon.

A clear sign they have all given up on men. You must be some piece of work ;-)

Non-sense.

Im a dog owner and I find it irritating. Mine are never off a lead and are trained to sit at my side if a person walks past us.

But the amount of people who just let their dogs run riot all over the place does my head in, especially when they run over to mine barking and growling, only to be met by the usual owners response "they aren't usually like this"

It's common courtesy when using a shared space.

If you tell a caravanist you don't like caravaning he'll be fine, the same with a motorcyclist, hell even the most steadfast photographer will not question your ability to be a parent if you don't like cameras but by god if you criticise a dog to a dog lover he will question everything about you, like you are saying something about his wife. Now I appreciate there are some real dog lovers (peanut butter on the testicles and stuff) but they really do take it too far.
