How many times ...Oohhh--oohhh--big dog pet peeves! How many times have you walked into someone's house and their big dog JUMPS UP ON YOU??!? I've been assigned to VT a lady whose dog rules her home. She good-naturedly does NOTHING when the dog puts his big front paws, muddy or wet or grassy, up on my chest. My remedy, because I VT her: suck it up with a teeth-gritting smile, and change into my rattiest, thrasher clothes when I go to her house.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233047987919581350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578424551314366111.post-81357160099587606002011-05-14T17:18:18.012-07:002011-05-14T17:18:18.012-07:00I have strong feelings about dogs being on leashes...I have strong feelings about dogs being on leashes as well. We have a leash law in our town (not just the parks) and last summer my husband was riding his bike when an unleashed dog ran right out in front of him. His choice was to continue and hit the dog or go down an embankment. He hit the dog, and ended up separating his shoulder and with a mean case of roadrash. The owner was not at all concerned that my husband was going into shock, he was just concerned about his dog. <br />And I also know too many people who have bitten by dogs who "have never done anything like this before" Way to go, Toothsomes! :)Amy E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00939787096288055832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578424551314366111.post-52862226665447797202011-05-14T13:46:43.699-07:002011-05-14T13:46:43.699-07:00We are dog owners and train a service dog, but we ...We are dog owners and train a service dog, but we respect the leash laws here in Sandy. In fact, I informed a mom at a neighborhood park to keep her little dog on a leash because animal control is so vigilant. She good-naturedly fussed about how strict Sandy is compared to Sugarhouse, but I believe that is what makes our city so family friendly.<br /><br />On another note, HOW do these dog owners get away with letting their dogs off-leash on a daily basis; yet the instant we release our service dog to work out a search problem, animal control shows up.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572446551334822839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578424551314366111.post-19477277516530213922011-05-13T12:57:34.602-07:002011-05-13T12:57:34.602-07:00I totally agree with you.

(Picture: baby and Rottweiler. Ugh.) I happen to love dogs but not when they are out of control and their owners don't recognize that not everyone loves them.Queen Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938493057572478797noreply@blogger.com
