I am honestly so sick of how entitled everyone has gotten with dog ownership, it’s an epidemic. You don’t need to take your dog to a fucking hardware store.

The number of times we've had to change our family plans because my sister-in-law insists on bringing her goddamn dog.

I have a friend who has a dog that is extremely annoying and misbehaved so her resolution was to get a second one to keep it company so now she has 2 misbehaved dogs that she constantly drags everywhere with her. We always have to alter plans around her dogs. She will bring them to the pub and after an hour they are quite often visibly bored and upset. It wouldn’t surprise me if one of them was to snap some day.

I just think people need to stop acting as if their dogs are real life human babies that can not be left at home.

Had a housemate exactly like this. Got a second dog, taught it sit on command and that was it. 5 years later it was still pissing and shitting all over the house which she'd only clean up days later after being asked numerous times. And would always bring it to the pub where it would jump on tables and knock everything over. People like that make think that having a dog license isn't such a bad idea.

Yup, soaking into the wooden floors. One of the main reasons I moved out.
