OP: Lose him. What a persnickety freak.
You and your lovely companion are worth waaaaaaaaay more than him.

Posted: 7/31/2007 7:27:51 PM | How did you (the OP ) come to the conclusion that a lot of men on this site have a problem with dogs from your one e-mail from someone that hates dogs?
Please explain that as I really hate when people group others based on someone elses choices... | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 7:33:38 PM | | Miss Claudia - to your credit, I actually just looked up "flake" . . . after throwing it out there. Turns out, it means, "an eccentric person." So, fine by me. I do love my dog more than most people. Most people are incapable of unconditional love. Not that I'm a fan of death, but, no doubt - he would kill for my survival, and without a second thought. A man who does not appreciate my dog, is a man I won't be loving. | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 7:38:07 PM | | Hey.....my feelings are if you don't like em....MOVE ON! I am a professional trainer, my dogs are beloved family members that also have jobs. Pet therapy, search and rescue, show dogs, etc. I am a single mother at home with a teenage daughter. If anyone thinks they are going to take advantage of me or hurt her.....did I mention that they are trained in personal protection!!! Dogs are GREAT judges of character, take it from someone who has owned them her whole life. My house is VERY clean.....a little dog slobber.....better than being puked/p-issed on or s-hit on by some nasty child. Let's talk about where a kid has had their hands and mouth. Did you know that a dog's mouth has way less germs than a human's?? Think about that when you are french kissing!!! Some people like dogs, others don't. Wait on a man who likes them, you will be far happier in the long run. GOOD RIDDANCE!!! | |

The more I know people the better I like my dog.
He speaks the truth, my friends.
Put me in the flake camp as well....lol. looks like pretty good company for me and my doggie to hang out in flake camp with. I can live with it. My dogs my bud. We spend hours every day in the bush or at the beach. Everyone at my office loves her when I bring her around. She's not baggage, she's my bud. We both just got back from a wonderful swim in this heat wave.
No excuses with her. She's ready to go anywhere anytime and she scouted out a bear for me a week ago when I was picking blueberries. Without a blink of an eye she went out and warned the bear down. Unparallelled love especially when Dr. Sly has to perform routine medical stuff on her. And she gives me most of the bed as well and doesn't hog the blankets.
OP: Better off down the road without that load i always say when it comes to meeting folks with hangups. You're better to find out he's a bit of a creampuff when it comes to dogs. Some folks are just like that. I have a real good chum that my dog just doesn't undertand, but, she keeps trying to get him to like her, but to no avail. if I had feelings, they'd be hurt. | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 8:29:40 PM | Not everyone is a dog lover, which is why I say that we are part of a secret cult. Not all people that have dogs are actually dog lovers, even.
My dog sleeps in my bed with me, and I will not board him. He could fit my head in his mouth and he has a great big cold nose that can be a moment spoiler.
I guess if you are a dog person, you had better find another dog person, beause otherwise it will never work.
If you cannot put up with my dog and me, ie, Us, then I will choose my dog over you. | |

Every day hundreds and thousands (who don't report ) are wasting away from a horrible malady because of a dog lick.
It's an epidemic happening through out the world about a dog licking a person and death following .
A word to those who need to be enlightened regarding dogs. DOG BITES ARE SAFER THAN HUMAN BITES therefore guys who are dog haters etc better to have your manhood licked by a dog then sucked on by a woman. hmmmmmmmmmmmm | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 2:19:27 PM | I love my dog with four legs, and he has been a truer companion over any "dog" I ever was with that had two legs!
I will never again date a man that hates animals, because to me this says something about their humanity or lack thereof.
There are dog events and there are social events, much the same as "bring the children versus leave the children at home."
Truthfully, I think men are jealous of dogs because they can lick their own balls and some have very long tongues.  | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 6:38:49 PM | I would ask why so many girls like dogs... from what I can tell:
Reasons girls like dogs:
1. Child replacement
2. Protection/Burglar alarm
3. Walking dog provides yet another opportunity for your milkshake to bring all the boys to the yard.
Any other reasons I don't know about? To answer your question...
Reasons I (guy) don't like dogs:
1. Now that she's got a boyfriend, she doesn't need to bring boys to the yard. Paraphrasing, but it usually goes something like ... "Go walk my dog or sleep on the couch."
2. Walking dog includes walking around with a bag of feces. Mmmm, feces.
3. Barks all night at the slightest bump, whistle, chirp. How do you sleep with that mutt in the house?
4. Fur all over everything! I have to go to work in these cloths.
5. Crap/puke/pee cleanup. If it were a baby, at least it would end at potty training (see reason 2)
6. He chewed up my $400 pair of shoes, but nobody's going to punish "her" dog because he's just a "puppy" (all 70 lbs of him)
7. Stop humping my leg!
8. Well, they smell like dogs. Wash a dog, and the first thing it's going to do is roll around in something godawful to get the smell of clean off himself. Dogs don't like the scent of citrus. Dogs do like the scent of another dogs ass. I'd rather live with an indoor smoker than an indoor dog.
And most importantly, for the hopeful fathers to be...
9. I know you love that mutt like your child, but when I do have a child, I'm not, under any circumstances, allowing a gigantic dumb animal that could kill my offspring anywhere near said offspring. Your giant 'lovable puppy' could kill the neighbor's teenagers, not to mention a helpless infant. If that dog put so much as a scratch on my child, even if it were my child's fault (tail pulling, whatnot) I would not hesitate to beat that dog within an inch of its life. My human child's need supersedes the needs of your canine child in *every* instance. PETA, the SPCA, and any dog owner for that matter can shove it when it comes to the well being and safety of my own offspring. If I sense danger to my children, your dog is dead.
If I can drop a steak in front of your dog, and a single "Stay" command from you keeps that dog motionless, then maybe we could talk. Otherwise, all I see is a disobedient or starving mutt. Given that knowledge, do you really want a guy who doesn't like dogs in your life now? | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 9:46:21 PM | I went to a lady's house a few days ago to watch a movie. She had dogs and cats (dogs no problem, but I think most cat owners are immune to the smell of cat piss.)
I show up at her house and the stench is overwhelming, I wanted to vomit and my eyes watered.
I have dogs, nothing in my house smells like urine (I got second opinions from people who had been to my place because I was paranoid that maybe it did and I was "immune" to it or something.) I would consider avoiding a woman who has pets until I can ascertain what type of pet owner she is.
If she only had 1 dog, I would probably not jump to conclusions. But, if she has cats and dogs and other animals.....there's no way one person could care for that many animals.
I don't get jealous about animals unless she's into beastiality. For me it is a cleanliness thing.
JMHO,
Indra | |

...or wolfdogs, or wolves, or coyotes. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message 40, like anything in life, there's good and bad with regards to who or what you are around. I still get a good night's sleep with both my dogs in the house, but if you're so worried about being woken up at night, or being asked to take care of the dog, walking around with plastic bags to pick up dog sh!t, etc., I recommend you don't ever have kids because you will certainly be woken up by a baby crying in the night, have to push the stroller from time to time, change the sh!tty diapers, wipe the kids butt, and hopefully not get peed on while doing it, etc., etc.

Posted: 8/1/2007 10:49:36 PM | | I can completely understand a dude that is turned off by girls that carry around their dogs in their purses or doggy strollers. That is a tad bit creepy. However, if a guy can't enjoy going on a walk at the lake with my lab, then he isn't the guy for me. | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 11:04:03 PM | Re Message 40:
#1 I am not a girl I am a WOMAN.
#2 A dog is the most effective burglar alarm system you can get, if you have the time and the patience. A Burglar Alarm System merely alerts you that you have been invaded, but a dog will actally thwart an intrusion.
#3 my dog is cleaner and smells better than many of the humans that wind up in jail. Oh, yes, but I wash him, brush him and brush his teeth, too.
Regarding your #9, and I go rounds with one of my best friends on this issue, SUPERVISE YOUR CHILDREN! I supervise my dog!
" even if it were my child's fault " the dog owner is the one that is wrong?
When your child under parental supervision approcahes my barking dog on my enclosed and elevated porch, while you are supervising, and the child reaches up and gets bit, this is my fault? Shouldn't the parent have had the sense and the parenting skills to correct their child for trespassing on another's property? I guess we are giving people too much credit, and it is much easier to blame an animal than a senseless human.
For the record, I keep my dog very well socialized. Can you say the same about your children? | |

Posted: 8/2/2007 12:56:57 AM | The easiest way to see another persons insecurities is look at how they treat and talk to there dog(cat) and even more eye opening is how the dog treats them and other people. I'm a dog person and I get totally turn off toward some people. I have some real pet peeves when it comes to animal owners that I'll keep to myself.
Most dogs bodies are built to run or trot not walk by the way FYI.
I have dogs. Look at my profile because yes I have pictures of some of them. Real working dogs doing what they love doing not sitting on the couch. Not thats there's anything wrong with being on the couch by the way. I don't mean it that way.
Do I talk to them like people, yea I do sometimes. Depending if anyone can here me anyway,hhahaha. After as many years as I've been around them I don't care who here's me anymore and I get better conversation then with most people from some of them.
Now you want to see women run the other way quicker then a man from a women with dogs and kids. Want to talk about comitment ie; LTR in my profile,hahaha. But just like dogs I don't like them all and then there's others that will be in my life untill they die. | |

Posted: 8/2/2007 12:57:05 AM | Some great posts here!
I have had wonderful relationships with my dogs (in the past) and dog (in the present).
Were they (is it a) romantic relationship(s)? No.
Most dog owners can discern the difference between a romantic relationship and a loving relationship with their dog. 
.... it isn't as simple as whether your potential partner likes dogs or not .... it is more complicated than that ..............
I see a few things to consider here regarding dogs.
1. Jealousy: Some men are jealous of the relationship between a dog and a woman. Some women are jealous of the relationship between a dog and a man. It can occur on either side. This certainly shows insecurity on the side of the one being jealous.
2. Like/Dislike of dogs: IMHO a romantic long term relationship will not last if both parties don't either like dogs, or dislike dogs.
3. View and treatment of dogs: IMHO both parties in a romantic relationship must view and treat dogs in a similar manner, otherwise many disagreements will result.
4. Cleanliness/Hygene: Similar to #3, there are various levels of cleanliness and hygene that dog ownser practice. For example, I too cannot stand the smell of cat urine in a home. It certainly is a sign of not cleaning up the litter enough, or more than one cat marking, etc. This can be addressed so there is no odour when you walk into the house, depending on the cleanliness standards of the pet owner.
I too, do not allow my dogs to lick my face. I have taught all my dogs to do "noses". They don't lick me. We just get nose to nose.  Of course it takes a little longer to teach puppies who are great at french kissing and have a fast tongue like my Rocky did!  He too, learned to resist that tongue! 
When you walk into my home, y0u do not smell "dog". Even though I am a dog owner, I do not like the smell of "dog" when you walk into a home. This is possible with regular washing of sheets that the dog lays on, etc. Only Barney ever slept on the bed with me, but I had a sheet on the bed which I called a dog sheet, which I washed regularly. He was not in the covers with me. The others never have slept on the bed with me. But, they did during the day when I was not in bed. Being northern dogs, it was too warm for them anyway. | |

Posted: 8/2/2007 1:05:21 AM | They're not "man's best friend" for no reason
Yes they are "Man's Best Friend" because like most animals Man domesticated, we used to eat them. Dogs didn't seem to mind that fact so much so long as they got scraps from the table till they became those very scraps themselves. In some parts of the world they still keep dogs for that very reason.
As to the topic at hand, I never would think to blame the Dog, nor use the Dog as a reason to not date a woman. That being said though, I have met some women who I surely would not consider dating based on how they treat the dog (or any pet for that matter). It is one thing to enjoy the company of an animal and care for it, it is quite another to elevate it to a status equal to or above your fellow human beings. That is going a bit too far to the left for my tastes, and I am quite the animal lover.
Have fun ;)! | |
