Dog Free Parks
Hi Mom2Soren: Interesting, you want to call us uptight, when, it appears, as you note, that you can only have so much fun with life, without a dog around.
I have tons o fun without a dog or a cat, and there is much to appreciate about the world that is spoiled by your imposing your dogs on people who would choose not to have them as part of their park experience… just as the city of Seattle chooses to not let off road vehicles in parks, such as motorcycles, cars, etc. They destroy what parks were set aside for. Hey, they are surely a part of societal life, right?
Get a grip. If you can’t enjoy life’s levity and joy without a dog in it or putting your dog in someone else’s face, you gotta quit accusing others of being uptight… I mean, really.
Dog co-dependent? Would that work for you?
As for dogs being part of societal life, since when did watching dogs take craps and pee all over the place become part of “societal” life, anymore than watching humans defecate and urinate in parks… which, of course, people generally don’t do. I have yet to see that happen, for instance, at Lowman Beach Park or Lincoln Park.
Yah, I just love going to a park for a picnic, getting into my sandwich, and then having a dog defecate right in front of me… makes my sandwich experience so much better…
