Drunk > Hippie
[obscure]FRUNOBULAX![/obscure]
The answer to Hippie Lady’s problem was in the ad at the bottom of this thread: the WIZZDOG indoor potty. All the dogs in the world need to use this so her dog won’t get all homicidal.
Why are some people with vicious dogs so eager to make it everyone else’s problem? “My dog hates other dogs, so YOU need to change the way you live.” Clearly they are enablers who let their dogs misbehave and then would rather bitch at other people than train their dogs.
Once, a husky who was tied up in front of a bagel shop lunged at me, biting my arm (but didn’t get through the heavy coat I was wearing) as I walked by him with my lunch. The owner came out, hugged her dog, and said, “Oh, he’s just hungry! He wanted your bagel! You walked too close to him.” Riiiight. My bad. :wally Come to think of it, she was a hippie too. :dubious:
I’d just like to point out…even to an actual poodle owner…that poodles are in fact HUNTING DOGS. That’s what they were bred for. They have that curly hair because it’s meant for them to be able to after ducks and geese and such in the water.
And it’s not their fault people keep givening them those stupid hair cuts.
They wern’t meant to be lap dogs. Ok, minature poodles. But minature dogs in general are a bad idea.
Ok sorry but I’ve always thought poodles have gotten a bad rap, as being wimps, when it’s really those bad hair cut.
Please return to the OP

You want to reduce the posting on SDMB by at least 50%???
Who suggested she be killed?
I’m not sure if this will make the OP feel better or not, but here’s a story about me and my dog, and one of those “my dog hates other dogs so YOU have to control yours” dog owners.
iIt happened sometime before this last Christmas on a weekend. I was at the “someone please kill me” stage of a miserable cold/flu thing, and had crawled down three flights of stairs (no not literally, it just felt like it) to let my dog go potty.
I sat down on the stoop, feeling completely out of it from fever and being so sick. I’m letting my dog do her thing across the sidewalk, her leash is only about 5 feet long. Along comes another tenant from my left, coming in from the parking lot. “Oh!” says she, can you move your dog, mine hates other dogs and he will hurt yours".
So I reel in my dog (who is Priincess Potty and must find THE most perfect and princessly setting to poop, so she’d not even begun to choose a spot yet). I hold her and say “sure”.
“Oh No” groans mom of Psycho mutt, struggling to hold said killer back with NO leash, just her hands on the dog’s collar. You’ll have to move away, he can’t be controlled (Oh, you mean you have a dog that YOU can’t/won’t learn how to control, I see :rolleyes:).
I said “No, I"m not moving from this spot, I’m deathly ill with this damn flu that’s going around, take him over there (at this point I weakly pointed to the sidewalk fo the building parallel to ours, not sure why she couldn’t have just used that one in the first place instead of ordering around people with well-behaved dogs)”.
Unfortunately, I was too sick to come up with any scathing verbiage as to someone who can’t control their OWN dog. But my look I’m sure said it all.
Just some fun with pronouns.
Okay, I’ll amend that to “drunk and posting do not mix”.
The antecedent for the pronoun she was, at best, ambiguous as duffer didn’t specify the sex of the woman’s dog.
Out of idle curiosity, what exactly is the Chicago ordinance concerning leashing dogs? If the ordinance permits the property owner/manager to specify portions of the property as off-leash, complain to the property owner/manager about the lunatic dog owner (feel free to have fun with the ambiguous use of the adjective lunatic).
Are ju guys all drunk? In this country, you gotta get the poodle first. Then when you get the poodle you get the pronoun. Then when you get the pronoun, then you get the power.
Marry me?
Seriously, just 15 minutes ago I was saying this same thing. Ok, I was saying the Simpson’s version (". . . and then you get the sugar"), but that’s sort of the same, right?
Anyway, marry me?
Fair enough…that would only reduce it by 25% 
Thanks!
I did peruse the posts trying to find it, but apparently missed it completely. That said. Sheesh, do people REALLY think that someone saying something like that in that context is meant literally?
Unless you too were just being smart-alecky, and in that case consider me whooshed.
