I bet dog ownership rates are about the same as the rest of the population.

ha! maybe similar ownership rates. maybe lots of people are anti-dog, as has been illustrated through several responses to this post.

Two sides of the same coin. ANti-dog means, here, choose not to have a dog as pet.

I love when co-workers tell stories about their pets. Few things are more fascinating than a cat story.

Do dog people realize how annoying your barking dogs are? Especially when you're trying to get a baby to go to sleep?

I suspect they don't. They're too busy shopping for their dogs next Christmas sweater for the upcoming family picture.

I have a co-worker who has 3 times now referenced the fact that she knows what it is like to get up in the night with a screaming baby (I have a 2 month old) because she has two dogs that sometimes require her to get up early and let them out.

I grew up in a relatively rural area. Everybody had dogs but many were hunting dogs or quasi-working dogs and almost all (if not all) of them were outside dogs. I consider myself a dog person. I love dogs and enjoy being around them. Even so, I now live a suburban life and, not wanting some sort of yappy lap creature (which I do nto consider a dog) and feeling like it is unfair in our lifestyle to have a dog (unfair to the dog, that is) we do not have one.

Several of my co-workers fall int he category of "my dog is my child" type and, quite honestly, I find that very annoying. DOgs are dogs, they are not people and they are not your children adn while I love dogs they do not have equivalence with my or any child.

Dogs are useful chattel. That's how some people feel.

I had a neighbor that had a Brittany Spaniel. I loved that dog. Great dog, great personality.

After some time of not seeing her, I asked him where she was. She had hurt her leg, and since he couldn't afford the $400 or whatever to get it fixed, he paid the $100 to put her down. I was shocked. This guy had a lot of toys. I think he could have afforded it.

"She wouldn't want to have lived with a hurt leg," he said.

I have a friend where he and his wife have decided not to have kids. I don't have a problem with that. The problem I have is that they have 6 cats and I get told stories about them like they were people.

That's a special pet peeve of mine.
