THERE IT IS

I met Mrs. A long after I stopped working at that dog daycare with lax standards of health and hygiene. Unless the dog swallowed a pound or two of rocks; or shat, ate his own waste, and vomited it back up; or backed his ass up to our bedroom door and fired shit into our living space; it barely registers on my tragic-events-o-meter.

Yes, all three of those things have happened to me, with the location changed from work to home in the case of the shit-firing.

Thanks for reminding me why I prefer my pets cold blooded

Judging dogs based on the ones that go to dog daycares is like judging a... a group based on the worst possible individuals of that group.

I just woke up.

I have no idea how people can live with their pets sometimes.

Like, I always thought William and I were kind of meh at dog training but apparently the fact that we own two dogs and three cats and you can't even tell they live in our house on a daily basis (it doesn't smell like animals in our house and their aren't dog toys and stuff scattered all over the house) is some kind of amazing stretch in human/dog interaction, or at least you'd think that when you take into consideration how pretty much every person I know ever owns pets.

Last time I went to one specific friend's house I took her out to dinner, not because I wanted to go to dinner with her, but because I had to find an excuse to get out of her dirty fucking, dog smelling house. And even the friends whose houses don't smell like dog, the carpets and floors are just terribly messy with dog toys and chewed up things. About the only other friend I have who I can stand being in their living space, in regards to their pets, is my friend LeRoy but he does put in work to train his dogs so that's to be expected.

Yeah, that is the worst thing, i've known so many people who'll just let their dogs crap and pee all over their house all day. :(

The apartment management here put out a notice that if they caught people leaving dog crap without picking it up, even if it's on their patio, then they'd be fined.

I know someone whose dogs have done significant damage to the house by dashing into walls, eating the carpet, pissing and crapping everywhere, etc. It has actually lowered the value of his home.

So it looks like my computer is boned (again)! It turns on fine, but nothing happens afterward. No beeps, no clicks, nothing. And lucky me, I don't even have the money to get replacement parts.

The Mexican restaurant many of you might recall from vists to me is gone. Eduardo has departed for who-knows where.

Fifty fucking greek restaurants on that strip (that number is not actually an exaggeration - I live a few blocks from ground zero of Toronto's greektown) and it's the one and only Mexican restaurant - run by the most courteous restauranteur I've ever been served by, no less - that has to go under.

Oooookay, apparently my computer just went into a coma or something yesterday, because it's working again. I suspect something went wrong with the power supply, since we had a power outage while I was napping... does that make any sense?

I don't know what to say. That was a great place and he was a fantastic restaurateur. I would have liked to visit that place one more time...

We have three people in the closest 8 apartments with dogs. All of them bring their dogs out into the same area in front of our apartment, and all of them leave their dog shit out. I am tired of stepping in dog shit. Apartment management won't do anything. I am getting to the point where I am going to start going out at night, picking up all the shit and throwing at at people's windows.

If any of you do this, fuck you.

Joxam · « **Reply #2712 on:** April 17, 2012, 10:08:48 AM »

Yeah, throwing shit at people's windows when you could just throw it away is worth a hearty fuck you.

:D

Anyways, I get your point, for some reason some of our neighbors let their dogs shit in our front yard and it pisses me off. I never let my dogs shit anywhere but our back yard, which we clean weekly, and these douche bags just let their dogs shit anywhere! Its only like once or twice a month but its still enough to piss me off when I walk outside and there is a giant turd in the grass on my way to my car that I have to dodge and then clean up.

Put it on their doorsteps/lawns.

If it's in the backyard, I totally understand not making a thing of picking it up. But these people live in my apartment complex and there is dog shit EVERYWHERE. I know the woman who lives directly across from me just opens her door and lets her dog out whenever it has to use the bathroom, and there's a woman across and upstairs that has a german shepard she takes on walks and just lets it shit wherever it pleases, without bothering to pick it up. Apt management set up bags and waste stations for this and people are just ignoring them.

There was a point where somebody had stepped in the dog shit and scraped their shoe clean on the sidewalk right outside my door. It was there for three weeks.

In a friend's old apartment complex (nice part of town, nice building), there were signs in the elevators asking tenants to please not let their dogs piss and shit in the elevators.

Malikial · « **Reply #2716 on:** April 17, 2012, 11:26:59 AM »

WE only allow our dogs to shit in the back, other people let their dogs shit in our front lawn, or on our drive way, or on our porch path.

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #2717 on:** April 17, 2012, 03:32:33 PM »

My dog won't go to the bathroom at all unless I take her for a walk. I make sure not to leave shit in other people's yards, though, and I would expect no less of someone else walking their dog through my yard.

Niku · « **Reply #2718 on:** April 17, 2012, 03:43:28 PM »

i specifically try to find apartments that belong to people who let their dogs run around without leashes and then have my dogs SHIT ON THEIR FACES*

*maybe different than reality

Malikial · « **Reply #2719 on:** April 17, 2012, 03:49:31 PM »

Also I feel I must note that my back yard is fenced in with a 6foot high wooden security fence. No neighbor should ever step where my dogs poo. Even if I don't clean it out but once a week it's still not accessible unless, and we've had a couple of idiots do it, you jump our fence.

I have big dogs, my male dog is almost 100 lbs and while he is a perfect sweetie sometimes my neighbors do things like hit/throw a ball into my yard and then think it's a good idea to try to climb my already dangerously high fence and get it from my dogs. I've had to ask people to not do that a few times. That's probably my biggest pet peeve regarding animals. My dogs are large and because of that I had a lot of flak when I got home owner's insurance. They basically told me that if my dog ever bit anyone, even if it was in defense of itself or me, I would lose my insurance unless he was put down and we've had neighbors do stuff like throw garbage at him, throw sticks at him. One time, a few weeks after my girly dog had puppies my idiot neighbor tried to go over the fence and pick one up to show his daughter. I noticed and asked him not to then I picked one up and showed her, Duke didn't give a shit, but about a week later when the neighbor was over with her, he let me handle them, let the little 7 year old girl handle them, but the moment the guy tried to go near them he went all pissed off. So, I was like, "Just think what would have happened if I hadn't been here and you had jumped the fence last week. Getting over it is hard when you're trying to climb over unhindered, but with Duke trying to tear off your ass I think you'd have had a hard time." He was like, "Oh jeez, I didn't even THINK OF THAT."
