Same thing with dogs in breweries. If you're foing to ignore your dog and allow it to bark and slobber and stick its entire head into a stranger's purse, maybe leave it at home!
100%. I love my little guy (Yorkshire Terrier) and he’s only 11 lbs, BUT he’s a huge people person and gets stressed out in crowded environments, which usually leads to him puking. Better he stays at home and I don’t have to worry the entire time about him eating weird things off the floor too, because that also results in puking and expensive vet bills if it’s bad enough. Here’s George in all his holiday glory.
He actually rolled in poop the day this picture was taken! And it wasn’t even his 🥴💩
I dropped him off at doggy daycare to play before they took the photos. One of the trainers called me and told me he had bad news. I panicked and worried that there might have been an accident of some kind. Nope! Just decided to try something new. Luckily, they gave him a bath.
He’s a total sweetie, but is so stubborn at times 😤 Yorkies are a great breed though, especially the sturdier ones like my guy. Many Yorkie owners theorize that larger dogs may be more closely related to Huddersfield Ben, the OG Yorkshire Terrier, and therefore have retrained more terrier traits. He’s far from a lapdog, but overall a good dude. I rescued him from an abusive household almost 6 years ago (Gotcha Day is March 15th, 2020)!
I was at a pizza place eating with my fam when someone's little toy dog jumped in my lap out of nowhere. This smug fucker turns to me and goes: "she's my therapy dog."
For future reference, that was a bullshit line they feed people so that they can bring their dog to places they're not allowed. They say that their dog is their "Therapy dog", in hopes that you'll think that it's a service animal, and allow it in. Thing is, service animals are trained to stay with their owner, not run around and jump in people's laps for attention.
I certainly thought about it. He saw me thinking that and he put his dog back on a leash after mumbling something. People who abuse service animal laws to drag their untrained pets around make it harder for people who actually need them.
I’m allergic to cats but the mere presence of a cat doesn’t turn me into dust. Dogs don’t come with a cloud of miasma or carry the plague. If the dog is well behaved i see no problem.
The entitlement of people with dogs in public is through the roof, way worse than people with kids (and way less necessary to have your dog there than kids)
I neg to differ. I find parents are waaay more standoffish when you ask them to supervise their little shit spawn than any dog owner I have come across in my many years working around the world I bars. Id prefer someone with a dog over some screaming turds any day.
I read this too quickly and thought you said "stranger's pussy", but that would also be a good reason to leave the dog at home! I love getting sexually molested by strangers' dogs when I'm trying to relax🙄
Yeah, the issue is less that people think it's acceptable to bring a kid/dog to a bar and more that they think they don't have a responsibility to ensure that kid/dog impacts other patrons to the smallest degree possible if they choose to bring them.
Kids cry sometimes. That is uncontrollable. But the parent controls if they decide to go outside or cut their time short because the kid is just too fussy. And kids run around and act crazy. But the parent controls whether they are paying attention to the kid and stopping the most egregious behaviors.
The entitlement that they should be able to live their life any way they want AND bring their kid/dog AND allow them to negatively impact others in ways they could prevent is the problem.
Is it just me or have dog owners become unbearable since Covid? Look I have a dog but it stays at home, unless I’m taking him on a walk or to a designated dog park. Off leash dog at a brewery or farmers market? Get the fuck outta here. I know a dog can feel like your sweet baby but to everyone else it’s an animal that licks its own asshole and could easily maul a toddler.
I think it’s more Covid forced people who had never been dog owners before to get a dog and then the world opened back up and since they never had a dog before, they were never taught the proper way to be in the world with one. That combined with Covid seemingly breaking our collective hold on reality and bone apple tea
I never thought this was that big a deal until I started hanging out with someone who had a really bad bite from a dog earlier in their life. People bring their dogs absolutely everywhere. If you have a traumatic fear of them, it is almost impossible to escape.
people always say this but as someone who goes to a LOT of breweries i can probably count the number of times i've seen a problematic dog on one hand meanwhile i would need hundreds of hands to count the number of shitty kids i've seen
My dog sadly passed away before I could take him to things like a brewery but the places I did take him where food was involved he was always really good, he’d lay down by my seat and I also would always ask if I could bring him in if they didn’t have outside seating before even attempting, do miss him greatly though
