I don't know why this is so amusing to me, but in Munich dogs are allowed on public transit as long as you buy a child's ticket for them.


Even better: the additional ticket is only if you bring more than 1. That's gotta be by design to limit abuse.

I went to the dog park for my birthday and there were FOUR other dogs there!!





I didn't get a picture of the fourth dog alas (they were all moving around a ton) but Apollo had a great time and just, gosh, I love it I love it

I AM READY FOR MY INTERVIEW I HAVE BEEN PUPPARING FOR WEEKS!

You were hired the moment you strutted through the door, Monty. Welcome to your corner office; your masseuse will be by with your treat dispenser in short order.

I have to vent about something. Earlier tonight, I was walking Lando on his big romp for the night, which involves walking along Rock Creek in DC for a few miles along a path in the woods. We were on the last 1/3 of the trail when this unleashed, maybe 25 lbs white dog that was one of those Bichon Frise/Shitzu/whatever mixes rounds the corner and comes straight into us. Lando tenses up, and the other dog immediately starts barking, snarling and charges at him, which prompts Lando to unleash a torrent of barks of his own. I had to stick my leg out and threaten to kick the other dog as it repeatedly charged at Lando before I was able to create enough physical space where I could run away with Lando and establish a bit more of a physical standoff distance. After about ten seconds of this, a shirtless guy in his mid-30s with a few lovely small, lame tribal tattoos on his shaved chest, wearing a boonie hat and clutching a leash while running barefoot in the mud, comes around the corner. I immediately lit into him about keeping his loving dog on a leash, and he says, "What's your problem? Sounds like your dog is vicious." as he ran off. All I could do was call him a pussy and a prick (I recognize the contradiction in terms) and yell that it was his unleashed dog who attacked mine, but obviously, the encounter was over. In the meantime, I also had to console poor Lando, who thought that I had been yelling at him and was acting kind of skittish afterwards.

I spent the rest of the walk thinking about how action movie me would have pepper sprayed the guy and pushed him into a nearby thicket of poison ivy while screaming in his face about how it was lovely people like him who get dogs all over the country killed through their carelessness and negligence, but I could do without the aggravated assault charge now or forever, frankly. The important thing is my boy is safe and that this didn't end with actual physical bites on either dog. I just have a serious, pathological hatred for dog owners who think, "Oh, why my precious Goebbels could *never* start a fight with another dog, that's why I never leash them in the public! The problem is with other owners, surely not me!" People like that have no business being caretakers for dogs. I keep Lando on a leash at all times because I know my dog, and know that his recall skills aren't good enough for me to get him back in a moment's notice, and that he's also fast enough where it could take me a few critical seconds to catch up with him if he did get into trouble. This other douchebag I dealt with tonight clearly didn't recognize his own dog for who he was, and I sincerely hope that the other owner stepped on some broken glass and cut the gently caress out of his foot in some deep, stanky mud at the most inconvenient point in his run. Karma dictates this.

Anyhow, my good boy is safe and that's all that matters. I gave him a bully stick after dinner, and he'll get to sleep on the human bed with me tonight.

I had a similar experience a few years back hiking with my brother's dog, except it was two dogs and when I told the owners to get their dogs on leashes they said it was a no leash park and that I should stop being a little bitch. It was absolutely not a no leash park, and there were signs all over the place to that effect. And yeah, I felt exactly the same way after. It loving sucks.

What a week it's been.
So much to talk about.
And so many things we can't talk about.

when Newt was about 10 weeks old, I took him to a food cart pod near my place in Portland, OR. He was on leash, as was a pit bull nearby. The two were palling around, it was adorable, and suddenly a German Shepherd ran up barking like a motherfucker and attacked Newt, which in turn set off the pit bull (which, thankfully, the owners had on leash and calmed down quickly)

My immediate response was to grab that prick dog by the scruff and shove him to the ground the way dominant dogs do. Some hippie idiot (goddrat do I hate white girls with dreads) ran up to me and started screaming about how I was abusive and she'd call the cops.

When I responded with "if don't you leash your dog you've got two options- I call the cops since your negligence is illegal as hell, or I pop you in the fuckin' mouth. Choose quick."

I was pleasantly surprised when the people around me agreed wholeheartedly with my statement because honestly, who doesn't want a puppy to be safe? (also because PDX is a hugbox and violence is kinda looked down upon)

Glad she retreated quickly because I definitely didn't want to break a nail. They're natural, dangit!

It's a giant bummer that Newt is skittish around other dogs now because of her dumb rear end, and I feel bad for having to wrestle her dog to the ground, but fuckin' hell if I don't hate people who say that their dog is "sweet" when they're aggro as hell. The fact that rear end in a top hat people can mentally destroy a dog within seconds is such absolute bullshit.

That’s the way my dog sleeps, despite fitting completely on his bed. He’s not comfy unless his dome is hanging off the edge and resting on the floor.

And that’s why I don’t unleash my dog! She is one of the best dogs around humans I’ve ever met, but she was a rescue (at 2 years old) and she has just rarely been friendly with any dogs that require the alpha position. Gets along with my parents big dumb boy Moose, but otherwise feels the need to be in charge. She has never *attacked* another dog, but she tries to put them on their back just like you described. Lots of sound and fury for anyone watching.

I’m thinking our next dog needs to be a pig, and when our cats pass they will make way for the raccoon that will ride said pig.

On the off-leash topic: stories like this are why I keep Apollo on a leash at all times, and in the dog park I get a hold on his harness when new dogs come in so he doesn't bumrush them before they're off-leash and out the gate and ready to be played with.

I had the opposite happen last night with Pit Pat. Was walking him, and he saw a woman approaching from two house-lengths away - apparently, 100 feet is much too close for comfort. So he was glaring and as she got closer he started barking like hell. Her first question: "Is he nice? Can I pet him?" This was a grown woman looking at a chihuahua mix who wanted to bite her hand off, no madam, you may not.

On the other hand, we've been pleasantly surprised that he's been making friends with some other puppers encountered on walks, maybe he's slightly opening up :love:
