(DA) Pet Pet-Peeves

Or, rather, Pet-Owner Pet-Peeves.

-I cannot stand when people do not pick up after their dog. There is no excuse. If you didn't bring enough bags on your walk, then that's on you. Go back home and get more, go back and pick it up. Rest stops on the highway are not "leave it there 'cause I'll never have to see it again" places. HUNDREDS of pet owners use that same rest stop every day. Be courteous and pick up after your dog. Same thing goes for 'winter time'. Just because it's snowing doesn't mean you can leave your dog's poop on the ground. *rage* It's such a little thing to do. And if you don;t want to pick up after a dog, then don't get a dog.

-Pet-Owners who leave their dogs in the car while they do errands. ESPECIALLY over the summer. UNACCEPTABLE.

-Pet-Owners who use dog breeds as excuses for their dogs' bad behaviour. "Oh, Beagles are hoovers. They love food and love to beg." "Oh, He's a Husky, Husky's are pulling dogs." "He's a little dog, he's just showing who's boss, so he barks." NO. Put in the effort, train your dog.

-Pet-Owners who have no intention to breed their dog and don't spay and neuter their pets.

-Pet-Owners who have so little respect for other Pet Owners and their Pets to bring and UN-ALTERED dog (male or female) to a Dog Park.

(apparently I'm in a 'ranting' mood today)

If you are going to take on the responsibility of owning a pet, take it ALL on. Be conscientious. Be smart. Be responsible.
