Dog owners are irresponsible

What really gets my goat up are irresponsible people who own dogs.  Other pet owners I can tolerate, but urban dog owners are the pits and in my opinion should be placed on wanted posters offering 'Dead or Alive' rewards.

Why, you may ask, this entire gripe about lovers of a man's best friend?  The reason is, dog-faeces or dog sh*t as it more popularly known! Let us look at the modus opperandi of urban dog owners closely.  Urban dog owners’ houses and apartments literally stink of dog sweat, various mucous membrane dog fluids and dog's bad breath.  Urban dog owners’ clothes also emanate a putrid doggy odour and are covered with dog hair, alive with fleas and impregnated with flakes of mangy dog skin.  But that doesn't stop them hanging their coats amongst others in the coat rack or cloakroom.

They allow their dogs to lick you!

Dogs doo urban chaos

Urban dog owners allow their dogs to lick you on meeting them in the street, or when visiting them at home after they (the dogs that is) have been licking their sexual organs and/or anus and/or sniffing other dogs rectal region, as well as sniffing other dog's excrements lying in the street.

Urban dog owners offer you a lift home in their car (which you are to polite to refuse) and which nearly makes you throw-up because of the acrid doggy stench that has permeated into the upholstery you sit on.  If you are really unlucky the dog will be sitting in the back seat panting its reeking breath over your shoulder.

Clean up after your dog

Urban dog owners take their dogs for a walk several times a day in the neighbourhood, which usually means taking them just around the corner and letting them p*ss and sh*t right on the pavement in front of someone else's house, or at the base of the tree decorating the street, or in the local park where the neighbours take their kids at weekends, or expect to be able to send them out to play safely and healthily.  They take their pets with them on day outings, as if they were civilized people, to local fairs and events where they also defile amongst the stalls, on the parking lot or just in the street as if it were normal to do so.

Urban dog owners are mostly ignorant and oblivious of the fact they really do stink of dog, and that it is unsavoury for others to see a big steaming dog turd while taking a pleasant walk in the neighbourhood or visiting some local event/fair.

Urban dog owners are also unaware that the amount of dried dog faeces (i.e. shit dust) suspended in the air of our towns and villages is one of the main causes of respitory problems, skin disorders and allergies amongst the inhabitants, especially children and the aged.  They are so accustomed to dog smells and other canine odours, that they do not notice the stench in the streets and parks that their dogs have visited, especially after the grass has been mowed by the town park keepers or on a hot summers day.  Town councils are ware of the complaints but say they are 'powerless' to do anything about it.  It is suggested that we should take photographs of those urban dog owners 'in action' when they are caught with their pets violating our civilization and desecrating our towns and villages.

Dog poo bin

The photos could be displayed on notice boards installed around the neighbourhood as a 'hall of shame' for all to take notice of.  Repeat offenders could have their dog licence revoked, their pets impounded and/or hefty fines imposed.

Alternatively, the inhabitants could undertake a court injunction to sue the offending urban dog owners for damages to health, property and the environment.  It is just a suggestion as maybe my gripe only affects and annoys me.

Another thing is... what about cats? They come into your garden uninvited, often after you have recently planted some flowers or weeded, take a sh+t and then p+ss off!

p.s. love the post about the elephants. Laughed my head off!

Firstly I thought this was some kind of joke, especially as it says "Dog owners are irresponsible". Not "some" or even "many"! Are you for real????

Well I am a very proud dog owner and am extremely responsible for my dog and it's actions. I wouldn't let my dog lick any part of you incase my poor pooch was infected with whatever you have. And as for offering you a lift in my car!!! It would only let you near my car for the purpose of running you over but would make sure my dog was comfy inside first!!!!

I have an ingenious solution to the "owners allow their dogs to lick you on meeting them in the street..." Are you ready??? It's mind boggling:

Stand up.

And for those who "offer you a lift home in their car (which you are to polite to refuse)..." Another solution worthy of the Nobel prize: Be 'rude', refuse. Chances are the driver is 'to' polite to see your pristine pathetic patootie walking in inclement weather.

Honestly, this article reads as if it was written with someone who's got way too much time on their hands. And not many friends.

I also once saw a young mum sliding in fresh poop in her flip flops (not for fun, im quite sure it was involuntary)

I hate that my eyes are always looking out onto the pavement to check for dog turd. every few yards and there is a nice fresh, steamy, rank pile of doggy doos to jump over or swerve around. and the latest thang amongst irresponsible dog owners is for them to yes, put the poop in a black bag, but THEN they throw it on the pavement! im sure that some unsuspecting person will then step on the bag and what if it exploded all over them/?????????????????? ARGH! I also once saw a bag of dog poop hanging up on some house's metal fence. I really want to walk past poop at face level, with it hanging up like some sort of trophy. how nice.

I am an urban dog owner and I dont stink like a dog even though I own the most evil breed known to man, the rottweiler! well I dont think I stink anyway as I workout twice a day and shower after each workout, none of the many beutiful young ladys who come home with me on a weekend complain and I have already at 26 had 2 2girl sessions! well they didnt get time to complain because my rottie ate them during the night.

I agree with this article about some dog owners that don't pick up their dog's mess, I have this problem in my area, I have a byway near my house and recently the neighbours have cleared it up and planted some nice plants to make it more nicer for the residents. I went down there today and low and behold more dog's mess, I wished I could catch the peole who leave it all down the byway. I have a Dog myself but I always pick up after my Dog even when he goes in the road as that can be walked into people's homes when stepped on. It isn't the Dog's fault it is the bad owners.

I"ve got two elephants. One of them is called Jumbo, but the second one doesn"t have a name because I can"t think of another name for an elephant. I could call it Dumbo, but it hasn"t got particularly big ears and anyway, it sounds too much like Jumbo and it might get confusing for the other elephant if I was shouting one of them in for its tea.
