Just so everybody knows Grym was talking about dogs with that post. Just want people reading my comment to know that. It's not the dogs that bother me its their owners. I visited an old friend today and his dog was awesome. Just sat there and let me pet him when I wanted to and left me alone when I stopped. Tried to entice me to toss his squeak toy a few times but gave up when I refused (the only reason I refused is because we were indoors and I knew he was the type of dog that once you did it once he would never quit.) Some dogs are in your face all the time. My nieces dog will jump up on your lap and literally stick it ass in your face if you are not quick enough. They yell at him but they laugh about as well as if its the funniest thing in the world.I don't hate them but I can only tolerate them in small doses, kinda like people tbh
In many ways dogs are like kids. They will do whatever you let them get away with. Its like I told a customer one time after I told her kid a half a dozen times to quit running and pounding on the tanks (she was on the phone all the while) She said "you don't like kids much do you?" I looked her straight in the eye and said "I don't have any problems with kids" and I really emphasized the "kids" she got my point, put her filters down on the counter walked out in a huff and never came back. I'm sure my animals thought I was a hero that day.
Yup, Kind of like the skateboarders when I tell them I like to throw pebbles onto the skate park.
My response to that one is "I wish like heck that I hadn't"
Glad for the edit. There were posts about spiders, dogs, cats and girlfriends and I wasn't sure which one you were talking about. When you think about each one in context of your reply it does make a difference.
