Either way, I just am not a dog person. My favorite animals are
horses, but I love my barn cats too, and have 14 of them. They
keep
the mice population down too, and one of them also kills rats. I
have
had dogs, and I have even tried to force myself to enjoy them, but
I
just dont care for em. The last dog I had, (puppy) drove me nuts
with it's 24/7 barking. I gave it to a guy who wanted a dog, and
the
dog saved his life by barking when a house fire started during the
night. I guess there's a reason for everything.....

I totally understand. Lots of people aren't dog people, and that's
fine.
It's the people that insist on having them and not taking proper
care
of
them that are the problem. When I was young we lived on a ranch and
we
had barn cats too, but they were truly feral. No way was anyone
getting
close enough to pet them or anything like that, and they were never
fed
"cat food."

Even the so-called "good dog owners" are often slime. Tell me what's
wrong
with this conversation, which I've had with numerous people walking
their
dogs. I've enclosed the conversation in plus signs so you know where
it
begins and ends:

I do not consider a dog owner who walks their dog past anothers
house,
allowing the dog to urinate or defecate on someone elses property, a
"good dog owner." They are slime IMO, and should be publicly caned.

99.9% of people with dogs will let those dogs stop when they want to.
It
doesn't matter that many of them clean it up.

By the way, the correct answer was "It doesn't matter why I don't want
your
dog stopping here". Civil trespass, in other words.


99.9% of RUDE dog owners do that. There is no way to clean up the dog
urine, or to stop it from leaving a nasty brown spot on the lawn of
another. These dog owners don't want it in their own yard, that's why
they walk them to other yards. I have a specified place in my back yard
for my dog to do her business, and she goes to the dog park to run
around daily, rain or shine. I know some cities don't have parks, but
luckily we do.

We have no official dog parks, but we have a park which used to be
beautiful, but is now ruined by dogs. Great place for people with
coprophilia, though.
