So I am about to go to bed and maybe go over some LSAT stuff, when I get to my room and smell shit. Well, the dog shit on the floor again. And not just on the floor, but all over my LSAT books and papers. This is not the first time or second or the third or the forth, but it will be the last. Her days are numbered. The only question is the vet open on the weekends to have her put done. It not like she can’t go outside when ever she wants. Well, now she dies. There is no way I’m even going to consider a shelter for her; she is being put to sleep. I hope the vet let’s me watch her die.
Good fuckin’ riddance.

Before I spin out here and rip your asshole so wide that you will find yourself shitting on your own books and papers…care to fill in the backstory on this charming little announcement? How old is this dog, where did she come from, how long have you had her, what is her health, what steps have you taken to deal with the problem, why do you have a dog to begin with, is there any chance you are simply trying out your trolling skills, etc…
???

Sounds like you’ve got a great career as a lawyer ahead of you, asshole.

Omfg…I cannot even believe the cold-hearted callousness in your OP.
Rot in hell, you mother-fucking son of a bitch. I hope she tears your fucking throat out in the middle of the night and shits on your sad, pathetic corpse.
I wouldn’t even bother putting you down, I’d just take you out in the fucking yard and shoot your sorry ass.

Right, **friedo** , because _I’m_ obviously the asshole in this thread.
Oh, wait, no I’m not. See, _I’M_ not the one eagerly anticipating watching my dog FUCKING DIE because she shit on the floor.
Is my post somewhat irrational? Very probably, and to quote Rhett, frankly, Scarlett, I don’t give a damn. There is NOTHING that pisses me off more or gets me irrational faster than someone who abuses animals and/or treats their pets as if they’re disposable. I’d take a dog who shits on the floor over someone who treats another living thing like something to be disposed of like so much worthless garbage when it gets to be too bothersome any day of the week.
Make no mistake, **Homer J. Simpson** , in my book, an attitude like that is NO better than any other worthless piece of shit animal abuser. Asshole.

Two wrongs don’t make a right, **Cerri**. But three rights make a left. Both of you jackasses are assholes in this thread.

:rolleyes: Have it your way, then.
You’re really scoring points on the Holier-than-thou scale by calling me names too, seeing as I haven’t said one negative word about you or made any personal attacks towards you. How fortunate for me you can see down off that high horse you apparently rest upon to show me the error of my ways by calling me an asshole and a jackass. I have surely learned my lesson and go forth a better person knowing that I am an asshole and a jackass for getting irrationally upset about someone who treats their pets literally like garbage to be thrown away. After being killed, of course.

I called you an asshole because you _are_ an asshole. Specifically, you are an asshole for wishing acts of truly deplorable violence on another person who said some deplorable things.
Please note that I have not taken issue with any of the myriad other posters in this thread that have called the OP an asshole, which he is, too.

And for the record, unlike the OP who hasn’t bothered to come back to say he was pissed off, upset, irrational or whatever when HE made his post, I fully admit I posted in anger. Two wrongs do NOT make a right, but again, I’m not the one who’s planning on having my dog killed for shitting on the floor and clapping my hands together with glee at the thought of watching my pet take her last breath on my orders, for shitting on my homework.

**friedo** what part of me admitting I posted irrationally in the last three fucking posts I’ve made are you missing?

And still, I’ve managed to not call you a single name. Amazing how that can work, eh? I know you will sleep better tonight, knowing you are so much a better person than me for never having ever posted a single angry irrational response.

Don’t sweat it **Cerri**. I can’t see anything in your first post that’s too over-the-top. Guy’s an asshole. Deserves criticism.
I’m pretty sure you ain’t gonna _personally_ go and off the guy, you were employing a rhetorical device.

What a piece of shit. Poor dog ☹ Ever tried _training_ her??? If you post things like this about the poor creature, I hate, hate to imagine how you actually treat her. Please do something with her to end her misery. Take her to the humane society or have her put down.
Oh, and I’m with you, Cerri.

Wow.
Sounds to me like your dog isn’t house trained, that’s not her fault, you know. She’s not doing this because she is mad at you, dogs don’t think that way.
There is something missing (like the story), is the dog really old? Health problems? Have you taken the dog to see a vet? Can you close the door to your room when you’re not there?
People are going to jump down your throat unless there is more info, your post really makes you sound like a jerk.

**Homer J. Simpson** you are truly a miserable, unfortunate fool to have an untapped fountain of companionship and unconditional love right in front of you and want to **kill** her. The poor dog does needs to be put out of **your** misery. This OP gave me a sickened cold chill. I think we’re dealing with a sociopath or some such really twisted, fucked up shit and if I lived with you I’d probably be tempted to crap all over your stuff too. From where I sit, the dog seems pretty damned perceptive (but then they usually are).
