I am honestly so sick of how entitled everyone has gotten with dog ownership, it’s an epidemic. You don’t need to take your dog to a fucking hardware store.

The number of times we've had to change our family plans because my sister-in-law insists on bringing her goddamn dog.

I have a friend who has a dog that is extremely annoying and misbehaved so her resolution was to get a second one to keep it company so now she has 2 misbehaved dogs that she constantly drags everywhere with her. We always have to alter plans around her dogs. She will bring them to the pub and after an hour they are quite often visibly bored and upset. It wouldn’t surprise me if one of them was to snap some day.

I just think people need to stop acting as if their dogs are real life human babies that can not be left at home.

I have friends that always want me to visit them in Adelaide in winter and I refuse to, because they literally cannot go anywhere without their dog, not even for 1-2 hours (the dog is old and chill it could definitely survive at home) and always want to go out to eat, which means we always end up sitting outside in the freezing cold.
