I love to read the posts on here from posters who I think always post fairly and with kindness. Swrinfla, Bogie Shooter, Barefoot, billethekid, skyguy, ajbrown, Notgolfer and many others ...all of them tell it how it is.
Just as Billethekid says, the problem comes from a minority of dog owners and I say they are the ones who probably didn't discipline their kids or didn't have any. We all love our own pets and children and think they are adorable and flawless...others haven't bonded with them. It is our job to take care of them in such a way as to not annoy other people.
We haven't enjoyed having a dog of our own for a long time and now love TWO kitties, Mikey, Harry and Hershey. But we love dogs. I sit on my front porch in the mornings and evenings and see my dog friends taking their owners out and about. Mozart sits in the back of the four seater as his mom or dad takes him out for a hamburger. Lucy walks slowly by and Prince trots with his French poodle cockiness. We see Gracie the ****zuh, and we know each other but she knows she is cuter, and we see a little iddy biddy dog who weighs less than five pounds and I forgot her name.(It isn't Bruiser..something like Amy or Taylor) We have a new Schnauzer whose owners just moved in,but we haven't been introduced yet and Gus who lives next door and is a thousand years old in dog years.. They all walk by with their owners and never stop to tinkle or poop in my yard. Their owners walk them in the street.
I love dogs. I love to see them and pet them and I am glad they are part of my experience in Lower Paradise.
