(what part of the brain is missing to condone this behavior?)

When I was in the fox hole , I never thought oh lord if I get thru this nightmare and they remove the shrapnel I'd love to pick up dog excrement in a clear plastic bag off my neighbors lawn (even tho we have a ton of dog parks for this event or better yet the dog lovers own lawn) then carry it though the neighbor hood like a bag of truffles on award night.

Speaking of truffles in bags. Happy Halloween (or fall festival) if you're opposed to Halloween for some reason)

John , we could be friends... I love Dogs but unfortunately I have developed a medical allergy to them in my older years. I do wonder what go thru a dog owners mind when they bend over to pick up the excrement with those arthritic vertebrae and feel that squish. Praying and hoping that the thin plastic bag that separates them from a horrible aftermath, with no backup plan other than wiping their hand on the beautiful blades of Gods green earth..dogs must be something very special

I would take your quote, “what part of the brain is missing to condone this behavior”, and flip it back at you. What part of the brain is missing for those who dislike dogs? Their loyalty and unwavering commitment to their owners is second to nothing. There is only one thing about being a dog owner that is less than ideal, it can be very complicated and difficult to travel. Otherwise they are absolutely great.

They talk baby talk, play dress up, etc.
Before being labeled "dog hater", I have sheltered, shared my home with, loved and cared for 8 dogs in my lifetime. Never once did I suffer the delusion they were human. When see people so emotionally addicted to their dogs, I can't help but feel a bit sorry for that poor person.
While dogs posses many remarkable abilities, they are still dogs. Please stop demeaning your pet by calling it "FUR baby". Please remember that their hearing is way better then yours ever was and avoid places where they will be subjected to large crowds and loud noises, like the squares, fireworks and thunderstorms. Frightening and confusing for animals. And remember that not everyone likes, loves, trusts or wants your dog to approach them.

P.S. beware of Halloween treats others may try to give your pet. It might not be something they should have.

Nothing like good dog poop post. News flash! No matter where you move you have to deal with the same circumstances. Unless you move out in the sticks. But, then there the wild animals you have to deal with.

But, you could of moved into place that don’t allow animals, then you wouldn’t have these problems.

Shows what you know about dogs. The profile picture is a Border Collie, not a pug. Two very distinctly different breeds of dogs.
