She is a loon 😂 That poor pup though, cute but bandy as duck with a mental owner. The breeders saw them coming though. The going rate for those puppies is far more than £500.

It’s a bloody malinois as well. Fucks sake.

If it can’t work due to a deformity it will go mental. That’s if o/p has any clue about Malinois and what to do with them.

Best for it would be to fix its legs and see if it can get a job as a land shark. They are not pets.
 
Found these gems on a thread where the OP is upset that people calls their pets their babies. Of all the genuinely innocent, completely unimportant, none-of-your-damn-business things to think, let alone start a thread about in the first place.

But just when you think some people need a hobby, SimplyThings101 and mathanxiety step in and we've hit peak MN. Because somehow, innocently calling your pets your babies is part of the deeply sinister blurring of the lines of species demarcation, oddly reminiscent of the transsexual Zeitgeist plaguing our times, as well as an element of the pernicious and corrosive anti-child element in our society that needs to be exposed. 🤣

Their assumption that treating an animal like your child means that it isn't disciplined says multitudes about their approach to childrearing.

Loosing thier beans over “KFC in A&E” … KFC is “stinky” apparently, and McDs is also “really stinky”

Where are they buying thier takeaways ?? The last McDs I had didn’t “stink”

It’s thinly veiled snobbery

They just hate takeaways … shouod have got someone to deliver organic picnic

THANK YOU! Seriously, thank you...I am not even joking.

I am not British so whenever I saw them refer to McDonald's and KFC, I used to be so confused when they spoke of the terrible smell...but because this sentiment was resoundingly echoed by many, I assumed it had to be true and thought maybe British fast food chains made their fried chicken different? Because KFC where I am from smells delicious.

I remember one thread (of over 10 pages) where they insisted that taking McDonalds to the cinema was positively anti-social behaviour because the smell would ruin it for the entire theatre and make people walk out of the movie! You'd swear McD's was selling week-old carcasses instead of some nuggets and fries.

I am glad to know it's just their snobbery and bitterness infecting their olfactory senses after all.

So many words from someone who doesn't seem to realise dogs don't speak English, dogs are not confused or dedogified by people calling themselves Daddy to a dog, cos they don't know what the word means FFS.

Mathanxiety is a gold-plated, nailed-on bleeping lunatic. I'm sure she once compared people without children to Nazis.

Could be many reasons for it. Dog could be young and being socialised, elderly, have health issues etc.
I don’t see an issue. Doesn’t affect me and if that’s what someone wants to do then crack on.

To add to this. My dog is one next week. When he was a puppy I used a sling too, he was tiny (he’s a mini dachshund) but it was easier to throw him in a sling and keep my hands free. He was too young g to be on the floor and it was a perfect way of socialising him. He went everywhere with me that was allowed, I think we spent about a month trailing pubs, shopping centres , stations etc with him.
The result is a little dog I can now take anywhere because he is so well socialised.

I have a much bigger issue with people that have dogs, don’t socialise or take them out often and then suddenly pop up in crowded places with an animal that’s doing cartwheels on the end of a lead barking and snarling at anyone and anything. At least the dog in the sling or the pram is out and getting a bit of mental stimulation.

And yes, I will end this by confessing he does have a birthday cake for next week because he iis part of the family 🤣

I used to chat with a woman in the park who used to bring her elderly westie to the park in a pram. He was a dear little lad but he just couldn't manage the walk to the park anymore, he loved to shuffle about on the grass and just watch the world go by. My boy used to love hers and would lie down on the grass with him and gently roll about with him. Even though mine was a youngster with an excess energy, he knew that he had to be careful with him. It was adorable.

It’s only bad when people treat their pets like children when they treat the pets better than their children. Otherwise why does it matter? As if the world isn’t tit enough without trying to reduce the love in it!
 
“Fur babies” does make my eyes roll a bit .. but not my problem.

my problem is that people think they should be able to take their dogs and cats (cats I know!), anywhere they want. I have an allergy to both, and the look I get if I’m sat on a train and someone sits next to me with a pet, and I ask them to move.. or if I’m sat in a pub and a dog comes up, and I don’t interact with it - people lose their nut.

I asked the train companies had they considered making one carriage “pet free” but no.

Hotels that allow pets, then don’t properly hoover … infuriating

I was in Costa the other day, a couple of people were in, with a large dog, they were sat at a low table , the dogs head was higher than the table … and it was a drooler … drooled so much the owner had to constantly keep cleaning the table with napkins .. i would have had an uncomfortable time at that table had I sat there next .. drool and dog hair.

I’m dreading the moment I’m stuck in a plane cabin with a cat .. it can only be a matter of time.

We had a dog in the 80s (pre allergy) .. we went out, he stopped at home, unless we were going on a walk. I don’t get the sudden spike in “anxious” dogs that can’t be left alone … I do think it related to “fur baby” culture.
