Here Doggie

Gees, did that lady realise how lucky she was to not get killed?

And good call about what if you'd hit the dog while on a bike - it's just plain irresponsible behaviour.
They should be reported to the SPCA, or city council, or whomever looks after this type of thing.

Had a talk to the SPCA, they couldnt do anything for the fact that they didnt have any history of animal cruelty

Gross over exaggeration here me thinks. The majority of dog owners and society as a whole are bylaw abiding types and are not fuckwits, and as for most of society being untrustworthy – well done, you’ve just offended the majority of the country. Not even I can manage that kind of footinmouthness.

Looks that way.

My dog sometimes ignores me and it’s a simple case of selective deafness by him, and an attempt to state his independence. All I need to do is lower my tone of voice and he shits himself and comes back immediately.

You've just had a bad experience with what could be termed as prize winning plonkers. Now put that tar brush back in its pot and take a more balanced view on life.

I shouldn't have started reading this thread. Brings back bad memories.

Our dog got run over outside our house 6 or 7 years ago. He didn't have much traffic sense, got bored with waiting for us to let him in the house, so wandered over the road to check out the neighbourhood. That was fine, but I was tired and cranky and called him. He didn't come, so I yelled at him, and he ran straight across the road in front of a car that was speeding down the road. I ran across and picked him up, but he died in my arms. Fuck it.

I haven't forgiven myself for that, and to be honest, I feel worse about his death than my father's.

Poor little chap, he was a lovely, good-natured dog, and I treated him like shit at times because I didn't appreciate or understand him enough, or was too impatient with him.

Now I really regret the times he was barking at a strange noise, or a hedgehog, and I got shitty with him, or he was frightened or cold and I wouldn't let him in the house. He spent a lot of time trying to be with us, even if it was just to sit on the mat by the door, and because we'd made the rule that he wasn't allowed in the house, he was denied this small kindness. Seems rather petty and unkind now.

that is so sad.... but if we knew what our actions were going to cause before we did them, we'd all stay at home 50% of the time...
just bad timing....

I feel worse off now. Not only am I a killer but Im dredging up bad memories for other folks

**Biff** · 15th February 2005, 16:05

Don’t feel bad mate, a problem solved is a problem shared with someone that was thinking of sex 30 seconds earlier.

My Story:

I went away on holiday to Ibiza for a fortnight of wanton indulgence. It was a last minute thing.

In the airport on the way home I remembered that I'd promised a neighbour I'd look after her budgie for her while she visited her sister in Spain for a month. I obviously hadn't. The budgie didn't make it, and I never got a Christmas card from the neighbour ever again. Maybe she didn't believe my death by natural causes story.

I knew a family who got a dog and didn't like it (they weren't animal people at all) so when it ran away and was being advertised on the local pet line they just didn't claim it and it ended up being destroyed. Thats just irresponsible!!

One thing I've learnt througfh being a 1st time dog owner is that 99% of dog problems are actually owner problems and the dogs that I've found to be the most out of control are those bloody golden retrievers!

Hey thats a easy one to learn the hard way, My 1st dog the Weimaraner (pic that I posted earlier) I was the same way with her.... but I learnt, and at the end of the day she was no worse off for it, but I would certenly do things different now.

Fuck, that really is sad, I'm feeling pretty low right now

I haven't had anything quite that bad happen to me, but there have been times I've gotten short tempered and yelled at dogs I've had. When they pass away, you feel really guilty for being that way, when all they were trying to do was enjoy their life or be with you...

Mate, don't feel too bad, you can be sure that he/she thought the world of you. The great thing about animals is that they adore you pretty much regardless.

Does anybody know why Dangerous is so named?

Well it's because it's Dangerous to leave him on his own in any house, as he chews the furniture and takes a shit in the middle of your living room.
