This is not The Haters Club You're Looking For discussion
I hate that I can't take my dogs inside public buildings.
I hate that your dog can't crap on the library floor, too.
Just one pile of steaming poo on the floor, is one pile of steaming poo too many.
Portland businesses and recreation areas are pretty awesome about dogs.
There goes Portland being perfect, again.

Why you have to take your animals everywhere......and why you like them in the first place.
I hate people who think they should be able to go anywhere... I'm not even sorry y'all dog lovers I think they fucking disgusting little creatures.

See, I don't even understand how people can be that passionate about a dog. I like dogs in theory, but that's as far as it goes. Of course, I hate cats in theory as well as practice.
Ok here is the deal... dogs don't like me... I mean they seriusly don't like me... they go crazy around me... idk why this is but ask any of my friends how they go around me... they bark, they try to bite me, they have even vomit on me (it was my own fucking dog), they have chase me, bited me a few times (I got a scar on my leg and my butt and a fucking tetanus (?) Vaccine thanks to em) dogs don't fucking like me! So I don't like em back! The only dog that I ever liked was on a bar... tambo was there... it was all good till tambo's friend started to make out with it... that was nasty!

I love dogs and I can understand dog owners' passion and love for them, but I FUCKING HATE when they feel the need to take Fido EVERYWHERE with them and then leave them in the car in a parking lot while they go inside and shop.
Whenever I'm confronted with a barking, snarling, yipping lap dog of Satan (read: poodles) confined in its owner's vehicle, I take great delight in tormenting the shit out of it in the hope Fifi will piss all over the front seat.
I'm funny like that... Leave the damn dog at home for a quick minute fer Crissakes!

Zen, I couldn’t decide which response I liked better, so you can have all three:1. All the pretentious names were taken (ahem), so I went with a dog name.
2. Are you hitting on me?
3. Unlike a dog though, (or a dog person for that matter) I can go where I please, when I please.
Fonoso, the dog my mother-in-law used to have hated me. She was fricking terrified. She would bark and whine and even pissed herself a couple times. I know she had been abused before the in-laws adopted her, and the abuser must have looked or smelled a lot like me, because during the three or four years they had her, she never got used to me.
Also, that's disgusting when people make out with dogs like that. Do they not know how dogs clean themselves?
i like dogs and in many circumstances they should be allowed into buildings... HOWEVER being as though i work in a library and that people leave enough rubbish around as it is and wee and sh*! on and around the toilets (and floors), i can't imagine throwing animals into the mix. add to this that patrons complain about a whole host of issues, dogs would only exacerbate the situation i'm afraid... but hey i'm all for pets in hospitals and schools...
i agree :) cheers... oh and the cell phones, now there's a real problem...
Bs... sorry bunny, but you be wrong on this one... no matter what you say a dog is a dog and it don't matter how well trained they are and how good of a dog owener you be there is still a chance that it will go crazy around other people... I know the same can be said about idk people? But we can't ban people from buildings can we? Shit I feel like I'm walking a fucked up line here... still dogs should not be allowed anywhere! They disguting!
Ahhahhahah I'm sorry bunny I just heard the line "he/she don't bite" too many times on the window before some fucking chihuahua tried to bite my hand! I hate the little fuckers!
.....but hey i'm all for pets in hospitals and schools..Hospitals? You want animals in hospitals? Those places are already breeding grounds for some very nasty bacteria, making long-term patients prone to serious set-backs due to sickness, infection, etc. and you want people walking in and out of there with their effing dogs? I don’t want the well-groomed ones in there either, but you know that most aren’t. So your idea is to have filthy, parasite-ridden dogs going in and out of hospitals all day?
Wow. I had no idea this was such a divisive topic! Who knew?

And that seems a bit insane to me.
I like that you said "backsplash" instead of "backlash." But I hate The Power of One for sort of ruining that word for me.
(was it The Power of One where he compares something to the backsplash of an Indian toilet in Mango Season or do I have my books mixed up?
Everyone! Give Bunny some goddamn room, will you?

You'll get no argument from me on this part, BW, but it's the world in which some of those with a tenuous grasp of reality live where dogs get better treatment than some humans I can't come to grips with.

1a. The boy's name Rusty \r(u)-sty,rus-ty\ is pronounced RUS-tee. It is of English origin. Nickname for a person with red hair or a ruddy complexion; also a short form or nickname for names like Russell and Ruston.
Rusty has 1 variant form: Rustyn.
So, you have red hair??????
2a. I hit on everyone. How many licks does it take, dog-boy? ;)
3a. You may not go where you please. Only where you are allowed or invited. Otherwise, it's called breaking-and-entering.
Hahaahahhaaa ! This guy is funny!

i was being sarcastic...
so, essentially you're saying you'd rather be a dog?

Well, I definitely don't want to be one of the local basset hounds removed from a home for severe abuse and neglect, yesterday. Watching that story put me back off the news.
I do want one of those basset hounds, though. Oh, I do.

Hhhhhmmmmmm.....I'm going to stick wih my indignant rant. It was fun.
@Teresa: are you sure? I know Sue always says it but I thought she always says it because she loved that line in a book. If only she were home so we could ask her!!! I miss her!!@Bunny, you should just walk in with your dog like you own the place. Have you tried it? You just need to pick up some books on hold right, not browse for any length of time? So you just waltz up to the counter, get your books and you're out of there. I'll bet no one says anything because he's such a good dog. If anyone does you just say he's a service dog and you forgot his vest or whatever they wear. Who's going to argue with you? This is how we create change. This is how we turn "NO DOGS! GRR! ANGRY FACE!!" into "ill-behaved dogs are frowned upon."
@the rest of you: this is getting to be ri-god-damn-diculous!! What is the big deal allowing dogs in buildings?? Is this really such a huge deal? I don't get it. If a dog misbehaves, they should kick it out. If it behaves it should be fine. On the other hand, lets not start putting animals above humans. The only reason to take a dog into the library is because a human wants to go to the library with their pet. A dog doesn't need to go to the library because it cannot read, and therefor is NOT greater than a human. The company of a dog may be preferable to the company of some humans but that's not quite the same thing.
What, you aren't enjoying this like I am?
I don't understand why people were so bothered, either.

So it was you. Thanks a lot! I'll put a little surprise sack under your wipers!
I wasn't baiting you; I was just saying things that I knew would piss people o...................oh okay - proceed.

I am so glad that u can´t walk to the library, post office etc. with your dog. May be people have allergy , may be they are afraid of dogs, in a short way, you can do everything with your dog in your area, but you have to respect to the other people in PUBLIC places.
Oh, like a public park? Where I CAN take my dog.Public sidewalks also...
And before you use the "indoors" card, plenty of places (like Tractor Supply Co.) allow dogs in their stores.
And since public property is "maintained for or used by the people or community" it would follow that there would be many types of people from many walks of life at these places - all with their own idiosyncrasies that I have to deal with. So why not deal with mine? Provided that, like Bun posted earlier, that they are well-behaved.
Come on my friend, I didn´t mention parks, i only talked about indoor-areas.
Now that is something to hate on... I'm sick of all you allergy assholes mucking up the place. Oh no don't eat that, a peanut might have touched the counter in the last decade. If you are that weak then by all means eat the fucking peanut and die...
Come on my fucken friend, i have just talked about the people who are weak as much as u described. And i talked about ´´ RESPECT´´ but i know that u don´t know what it means. You don´t know me too, so u just talking as a fucken idiot guy

I can walk to my post office to drop off media mail. But not with my dogs.
I can walk to the public park with my dogs. But I can't pee while I'm there.
Oh. And I can apparently get a ticket from the police if I tie them off somewhere while I quickly run an errand in any of those places.
