A Portland Oregon website for dog haters

http://www.leashyourdog.com/


Hmmm. Just glanced, but I'm not sure "dog haters" is correct.

Look. If those dogs are in areas where they are supposed to be on leash
and
they're not, then that's a problem. Leash laws DO exist, and in areas
where
they are in effect, dogs should be ON LEASH. It's part of being a
responsible dog owner.

And dog poop should be picked up on public property. It's people who
don't observe these laws/rules/courtesies that contribute to a "dog
hating" mentality.


Agreed. I can't stand to see dog people not pick up after their
dogs, or allow them off-leash where leashes are required.
While the poisonings are awful and extreme measures, people
who think they are above the law need to buy a clue as well.
Maybe I'm spoiled because I don't have to take my dogs somewhere
to exercise them, but dammit, when I DO, we are dog-ambassadors.
Maybe I'm more consciencious of it because I have *big* dogs,
and don't feel like perpetuating any sort of "big bad black dog"
stigma. (That is certainly NOT to say everyone I see allowing
their dog offleash, or neglecting to pick up after it has any one
particular type/size/breed of dog moreso than any other type)

Shelly (Who, while headed into a park this a.m. for a wedding
reception, politely pointed out to a man that his little offleash,
he was looking for it, giving a small whistle, while talking on a cell
phone dog was on the other side of his car, done pooping.
There were children, barefooted, running from the fountain, to the
small creek, back & forth. I think he must've got my point, although he
seemed miffed, he did go pick it up & collect his fluffy.)

Not to mention PRIVATE property that isn't owned by the same person that
owns the dog. G I love dogs, and as you know own three of 'em, but *I*
get seriously pissed off when somebody walks their dog around the block,
lets it take a dump on my front lawn, and then walks away and leaves it.
Or,
for that matter, lets it pee on my bushes or- even worse- on on the
lovely
flower gardens that two of my neighbors have.



Another agreed here from me as well. I live in the boonies, no
neighbors, and pick up! My in-laws constantly have dog poop
in their yard (and cat as well) from neighbors. They don't
have dogs, and have 2 indoor cats. They're much more polite
about it than I would be!
