No, this is not about dogs, this is about morons.

I will state clearly that I LOVE my dogs. BUt I also know there is a time and place for dogs and at the dinner table(or public shopping areas) is NOT the place. Some people have a very real fear of dogs and out of concern and care for someone else, I will always make sure that my dogs NEVER inflict stress or alarm on anyone. That includes in my own home.

I am not a dog dragger. I do not lug my dog everywhere I go. I get furious in summer when I see idiots with dogs locked in hot cars. LEAVE YOUR DOG AT HOME because the dog's life and comfort are worth more than your desperate need to tell yourself you're such a good owner. You're not, you're a moron!

Used to have a dog who weighed over 100 pounds, Akita X Bullmastiff and his claim to fame was world class drool. That dog had huge, snotty drippers dangling off his face at all times. When I would go to dinner at a certain relatives house and everyone else would drag their yapping, begging, snapping dogs along to mill around under the table, it used to make my skin crawl. I swore as the next Christmas turkey was being set on the table with great pomp a ceremony, I was going to uleash the drool hound, who would NOT fit under the table like the rest of the mutts, but could quite handily reach over the table and grab a drumstick. Leaving behind an oozing trail of evidence. I never did it. My sense of social conduct over-rode my desire for revenge. My point is if I want to eat in the comapny of creatures that can lick their own butts..I will, but at my OWN table with my own dogs and not inflict them on anyone else.

I am with you on this one! If you truly love a dog you should be alarmend and horrified when some dillweed makes their dog an object of scorn and anger...but it's not the dog's fault. Dog's get a bad rap because in this country any boob can own a dog, and it would appear said boobs go shopping with them too.

GREAT POST
