Sometimes you have to take your dogs to places where you know some people will not like it. I’ve never had someone kick my dogs or yell at me for brining them so far. But I have had some close encounters. Some people take it personally, it’s either their place or it’s for pets. Fearful people, just like fearful pets, are the hardest to deal with. I wouldn’t bring my woofies to the squares when there are a lot of people, first of all because I wouldn’t want anyone to accidentally step on their delicate paws.

We are all a bunch of strongly opinionated people who like to argue.
We have cats. They told us they don't want to go to the squares. They even said, "Absolutely NOT". We all three enjoy dogs and cats and truly enjoy seeing dogs at the squares. I think furries are very good for people as we get better.

Now that’s true. My woofies were never impressed with strangers petting them. But it does depend on the breed. The Golden Retriever cared for attention much more than the Welsh Terrier.

Here it goes again. The dog thread. Now mention poop and this thread will go crazy.

If you’re not a dog owner, it’s hard to understand, it’s a bit like talking about members of your family. When does it become uninteresting?

When we had a dog, we'd take her for walks around a pretty busy park near us. She'd get petted by dozens of people as she was a real cutie. I don't think the squares during the day are any more crowded than that. At night when the music is playing? That's another story. Too crowded and the music is too loud for dogs. But that's just my thinking. I probably do a lot of things other folks find just as stupid. |

When I first moved to TV I noticed people walking with strollers. I was wondering why there were so many babies in a retirement village.
I couldn't believe it when I found out they were dogs. I thought the purpose of taking your dogs our was to give them exercise. Oh well. I am glad I only have grand dogs now. I remember walking my dogs on those cold, snowy, winter nights or those rainy summer nights. Don't miss them at all. I still love dogs. Woof! Woof! PS: Did anyone see that guy with those two monster (beasts) dogs on chain leashes. I think there were Italian Mastifs. I saw him in LSL and Brownwood. He does not live in TV. Very Scary. He could barely control them Last edited by bilcon; 10-22-2019 at 11:50 AM. Reason: additional material |

We do it rarely, and never in the summer. When we do, people line up to pat our goldendoodle.

The dogs I’ve seen with Villagers so far, have all been well treated. Some dogs I can say, are extraordinarily well treated. From exclusive medical treatments, to grooming etc etc. There is the odd idiot, too young to be a Villager, who goes dancing with their dog on leash at the square but I’ve seen that only once and I think they should have been reported for that behavior. We get dog trainers to train dogs but I think we also need trainers to train some owners.
