So, I'm sorta going out with this girl. I flex my muscles and they come running. I'm all like BAM look at my GLUTEZ you could bounce a SUSAN B. ANTHONY DOLLAR off of them and it would go into ORBIT. Anyway, she has a dog. A little yap yap dog who is a total spasmo. The dog jumps up on your face (and has scratchy claws) when you're laying down or sitting on the couch (even if you're sleeping), if we're in the bedroom with the door closed the dog will literally tear up the carpet outside the door and whine for an hour. The dog tries to get at your plate when you're eating something. It's a very annoying dog. Of course, this isn't the dog's fault - her owner, the girl I'm sorta going out with, doesn't discipline her at all. I don't hate the dog, but I do think it should recognize boundaries - meaning: Don't jump on my face when I'm sleeping! Don't try to sneak up on my plate when I'm eating! The dog RULES the apartment - if the apartment is messy, it's because the dog is chewing stuff up, if it's clean, it's because the girl I'm sorta going out with has cleaned up the dog's mess. She can't open the windows because the dog will charge after the cat and possibly go through the screen. She can't stay away from her house for very long because the dog will poop all over the apartment. Sometimes I would like to put the dog outside, but the dog will immediately run away, and then I would have to chase it with some tranquilizer darts and a net but a hairy-legged lesbian would wrestle me to the ground and yell in my face about being kind to animals, and then knee me in the groin because I am an androfascist phallocentric autocrat! I know she loves her dog, and I like it too - but she needs to stop letting it rule her world. A dog is a dog is a dog. They don't have self-control, they have owner control, but if the owner doesn't control them, then the dog is in control. You're not hurting the dog by disciplining it, you're simply letting it know that you're the big dog - and dogs EXPECT that. Okay, so what about y'all?
It all depends if the girl is hot. If the hot girl has an undisciplined dog, its sexy. If she is ugly and has an undisciplined dog, then she is not a good person in general.
Is it me or is there a trend of dogs being inside dogs instead of outside dogs these days? Dogs IMO used to be a man's pet. You know he stays outside and only comes inside when it's really cold, he goes with you hunting, goes to the park and roughhouses with you, fetch, etc. Now dogs are groomed and pampered, and have to be dog sat, took for walks to get exercise, and kept inside like a canine barbie doll! It's a disgrace. Obviously if this girl treats the dog this way imagine how she would be with kids! Run quickly!
This marks the first time today that I have read "androfascist phallocentric autocrat" in a sentence. I'll have to remember to use that sometime, if I can pronounce it. I like your perspective on dogs - exactly. They expect a "big dog" in their lives and will respect its boundaries. Otherwise they end up spoiled, undisciplined, running the house, and still not happy because it just makes them want more, and more, and more. (any animal is kind of like that, actually, including humans) I also think it's strange how someone will spend lots of time and effort on neat, color-coordinated hair, accessories, nails, etc. and then carry around a little accessory that barks inappropriately, sheds fur, and poops all over the place. Dogs are cute but their place should be as the family dog, not as the center of attention or something you can't be separated from for a minute. Find some nice way to talk with her about this, if you can...
I agree. My girl won't let me discipline my dog at all and now he is a spoiled pansy. You should see when I let him out in the morning now. He carefully steps in the grass so the dew doesn't get his paws too wet, he only drinks his water with a squeeze of lemon in it, and he sleeps on my damn pillow. He's gone completely pu$$y. I hate it.
Thadeus, its a really simple solution. When you are around the dog and the girlfriend walks by, pee on her. Mark your territory man. Show that mutt who's boss. Dogs dont like p*****s.
My dog is the same way even though I "discipline" the hell out of him. He won't poop if it is raining. He has to lay on something anything but bare carpet.(Unrelated) He is as lazy as can be, but he thinks ice is a magical treat and will snap out of a docile state to snatch cubes as they hit the floor and begins turning in circles I guess because the ice is too cold for one spot in his mouth.
Tell me about it. I've tried for years to tell my dogs "it's only a thunderstorm; you are in a shelter with me; you are fine" to no avail. They still have to act stupid the whole time and also piss on the carpet. Sheesh.
