I have not seen any anti-dog posts. I think people have been referring to the lack of responsibility that they feel is demonstrated by some owners. I have a dog and a cat. I have always had at least one dog during most of my adult lifetime. I have always made sure to pick up after my furry pal with little blue bags so everyone can see I have honorable intentions. I also don't let him do his business on anyone else's lawn. He is on a leash when not in our yard or the doggie park.
I must admit I sometimes cringe when I see other owners let their dogs roam into someone else's yard. I feel that's not "their turf" and is disrespectful of others. The owners are usually with them, but, so busy talking or staring in the opposite direction that they don't notice (?) what Fido is up to. I also hate to see other dog owners not clean up after their little or big charges after they have pooped in a public place ,and, yes it does happen.
He or she "who doth protest too much" may be amoung the guilty.... I don't know....just a guess.

I guess that means you can't answer my question. There are NO anti dog posts here. Thank you so much

Perception is everything. Think about that for a moment. Now think about how folks perceive i.e. how they interpret posts (even the ones written well). Now mix-in a little emotion. Now, are we still wondering why people perceive an anti-dog sentiment in this forum? Even though the text is specific to suggest otherwise, the perception is much different. And yeah.....'nuff said about this topic.

There will be enough said when the responses stop

How stupid of me not to qualify my last post. I should have said, "nuff said on this topic ....by me". A missive of this type, won't happen again. I promise. Geez.
