Well, then, you wouldn't be comfortable here.

At our street fairs and Formula 1 festivals, there are more dogs than people.

There may be a couple of dogs at our street fairs, but not many. They are banned most places.

There's a dog parade, dog fashion shows, free dog treats and water bowls at kiosks.

So dogs have more going on than people? Why am I not surprised that your idyllic little world is so full of rainbows and puppy breath? Of course the more you talk the less I really believe it's so idyllic...

I really don't care what you believe.

You can live in your little OCD world where flan and I live rent-free in your head.

No skin off my nose.

I would never bring my animal to your house uninvited. That's just such a big no-no. I can't believe anyone does that. And I've had it happen to me.

Tinydancer · Guru

So why do you always try to prove where you are and what you believe is better than where anyone else is or what they believe? You mistake me for what everyone else is saying and believing. I believe you seek approval so much that you try to prove your worth in every post. There is one other poster who tries almost as hard as you do to be recognized. Oh wait. She's your mentor so I guess to student has finally out done.

Huge no no.

The only person I seek approval from is me. I suspect seeking approval is something you do.
And so far, I approve of me.

We take Monster with us to those places.

I'm talking about events in which it isn't.

4th of July with fireworks. While Monster and Spot are not phased by them, I've seen other dogs react in many different ways, from fear to violent.

It's the dogs I'm thinking about. Is it fair or good for them?

Tinydancer · Guru

If I'm babbling why do you keep responding? Oh yeah. That's my fault of course. See you do learn quickly at least weltsy.

Well, they would be invited as long as they are leashed.

Fireworks...not so much.

Most dogs fear fireworks.

That being said, most of our street fairs and festivals welcome dogs.

Ok. If you say so...Do I itch when you hear about someone killing their baby because it's inconvenient? Or maybe when flan tells you what a meany I am? It seems to me I live rent free in your mosquito bites. Why do I bother you so much if what you believe is so very right?

As pet owners, we are responsible for our pets behavior at ALL times. You have a dog, make sure it does not bit anyone (family included) inside or outside of your house. You have a cat, make sure it does not wonder the neighborhood or attack visitors within your home. YOU, the pet owner, ARE responsible for your pets behavior, period.
I recently saw an episode of Judge Judy on this exact problem and the dog bit within his home. The owner was ruled responsible for her dogs behavior within the house. It is the law according to Judge Judy.

They just don't want the responsibility.

Just for the record this was sarcasm. I didn't use my little emoji though. My bad. My whole point is that if you see an abused kid story in the paper MOST people are like "Yeah, just another child abuse story. Our system is screwed up." Yet if you see someone abusing animals it makes headline news and is the leading story on the ten o'clock news. Every day in our area there are stories about kids. No one really looks twice. But we recently had a breeder busted and it was headline news for a week. They had 40 dogs in a two bedroom apartment. They interviewed the neighbors and landlord and a bunch of other people. It made the local paper. A whole big half page article. The last sentence in the whole article? "The two teenagers living in the apartment have been taken in custody by CPS." That was it about the kids.

OMG will you all just give it a rest? Geesh do I need to get you a pool of green jello to wrestle in?

That said I won't bring Pippin anywhere unless invited. I have brought him to a renfaire and the Irish festival but keep him close to me and honestly I'm practically fighting people off because he's so cute in his little costumes. 😀

Green Jello? Phssst!

I'm the one who won't give you grief if your pet scratches me. I have so many scars from years of owning cats with behavior issues that one more isn't going to hurt. My in laws have a cat from hell with a bad temper. He has a blood hatred for anyone that tries to trim his nails. He puts up such a fight that my in laws gave up on nail trims. I don't mind dealing with his sour self to trim his nails and they know it but they give in to the cat.

I love dogs. I don't mind being licked, jumped on, sniffed, etc. I've had more than one dog jump up on me and lick my face when we're out and about. The owner always apologizes but I truly don't mind.

Pets as kids - When I have pets, I do consider them my kids. They're members of the family. We don't have any pets currently, which is odd for me, but a lot of people in our complex have dogs and DS loves playing with them. He gets the owner's permission first. We've taught him that he must ask the owner first before petting any animal and that he must let the animal get acquainted with him before petting it. He gets frequent reminders but is really good about not running up to a strange animal.

TrudyML · Guru

Mary is my pet. She is hard to control and steals beer. Nothing like a drunk pet! She'll then hump her favorite bean bag. I won't post pictures! Promise!
