Dogs are so gross

[Knut]

The worst thing about Dogs is that they are now showing up everywhere.

Dogs in stores, dogs in businesses etc.... Its dumb. As someone that is crazy allergic to dogs (like hives, swollen eyes and Post-nasal drip for days) it sucks.

Leave your damn dog at home for a few hours while you go to Canadian Tire.

Edit. Also, I do not need your dog coming up to my hand and licking it.

So, unless it's immortal, I will wait it out.

The dog, well I love that little guy. I'm not looking forward to the day he eventually passes, because I'm going to be shattered!

Wait, what? Who? Sliver’s garage cat?

lol, no they're not. They're awesome if people don't like you and you have no friends, though.

Because I kept getting duds, that's why. I'm unlucky when it comes to pets.

You're the dud homie

[surferguy]

Sliver next time you get a cat, may I suggest calling it “Dudley IV”. That way if it does end up being awesome it’s name will then be ironic which is kinda in these days.

If this was about IT you would be a PEBCAK error.

When I lived in Europe (Poland) recently it was infinitely worse than in Canada. At least people here somewhat adhere to the rules, even though there are a few outliers. Over there, it was a free for all. Dogs literally everywhere. Restaurants, cafes, malls, movie theatres. The damn beach. City hall. The bank. Even at my gym. And nobody cares. Not a single F is given. Seems like everyone has a dog there, even though 99% of people probably live in a small flat. One person I always saw walking around had 2 massive Huskies and I can only assume a similarly sized 45m2 flat like mine. I always felt bad for her neighbors.

Also very few (ie. none) rules about picking up your dog's ####. Was always a joke my wife and I had about how many piles of dog dump we could find on our walks. Ever since I moved back to Calgary, I can count on a couple fingers the times I've seen dog #### on the side walk. Over there, it was literally dozens of piles on my street alone. It was a common site to see dogs squatting down in the middle of the mall and take a #### on the floor. And people walk around like it's an accepted part of life.

Count your blessings we aren't like those savages over there.

Should all be on a ####ing public registry and banned from owning animals for the rest of their lives

I think I can say with a pretty high level of confidence that beating the #### out of people is a worse character trait than giving up a dog for adoption.

So Hitler's dogs just pretended to like him?

I did read somewhere that Eva Braun's dogs didn't like him

My gf works at training her dog not to jump on or lick strangers just in case there's an allergy problem or they don't want contact with her. I really appreciate that about her as a dog owner. She always apologizes to bystanders if the dog happens to get too excited and invade their space.

Owners would do well to consider this and not just assume everybody is tolerant of dogs because they're cute

Took a walk today, was enjoying how clean and bright Calgary looked with a fresh blanket of snow, then turned down a pathway and every snowbank was covered in yellow dog piss. So much for a picturesque walk

[Senator Clay Davis]

Could be dog piss, could be meth head piss, you just never know.

Dogs are loyal to a fault they have near endless capacity to forgive.

Fair, and I never actually would (nor have I), but god, do so many people genuinely deserve a solid ####ing smack

Glad to hear they're such good judges of character and can forgive a little genocide now and then.

Sorry, I don't know if you're mentally stable enough to be dolling out judgements in any capacity. Maybe stick with your day job.

[CroFlames]

Holy Christ this is the most asinine conversation.

"Are Hitler's dogs actually evil because they forgave him for starting WWII? Or are they just stupid because they couldn't judge that he was a terrible person?"
