Who likes Dogs?!?

Who doesn't right?! But there are some who take it a little to far. Ok I understand we get atached to our dogs. I have two and they're great!! But when I was growing up dogs were, well, dogs and now most see them as much part of their family to most people as one of thier own children. I don't have a problem with that but let me expain where I'm coming from. There are some case where the dogs rule the house!! Some of you may even be guilty of this!! Don't lie!! You see it all the time the dogs do what they want, get fed human food prepared for them on the stove (I've warmed up food for them a few times myself.http://www.z28.com/forum/images/smilies/shhh.gif) and they get special treats. Doggie ice cream?! (cat flavored) doggie spas?!? WTF?! Ok, ok, let me tell you why I brought up this topic. Last night I went to see this lady about preparing some legal documents for me (a paralegal) and when I got to her house (she works from home alot) she greeted me at the door. Soon after the hello I heard dogs barking. She asked if I had a problem with dogs. I said as no as long as they don't have a problem with me. I walk in and she is just finishing with a customer so she tells me to have a seat on the couch and she'll be with me shortly. Ok the first thing I notice is that the couch is covered with towells, t-shirts and some rags. She explained that the dogs jump on the couch and she doesn't want them to puncture the really nice leather couch with their claws. First thing that came to mind was "well then don't let them jump on the couch!" but it's her house. As I'm walking over to the couch one of the dogs wants to play and the other wants to eat me alive. I could tell cause he was attacking me leg. Litteraly!!!! Biting, barking, jumping and trying to get at me. The lady says "he's a little mean one". The playfull dog was about 6-8 pounds and I was sitting there just messing around with her. (i found out later she was a female) The little @#$% dog weighed as much as one of my turds!! Yea! Small dog with a pitbull attitude!! While the little !@#$ kept tring to bite me the only this lady was telling the dog was "boobie be quiet" as if though she were talking to a 1 year old. Mutha..... As I was playing with the other dog I guess I made a sudden hand movement and turned just in time to snatch my hand back as the turd with fangs was lashing out!! Little bastard almost got me!! (Dog Whisper where are you when I need you?!)http://www.z28.com/images/smilies/pissed-off.gif Again I heard "boobie be quiet". The little turd jumps on the couch and lays down on, what I guess, is HIS towell. Keep it you little f*ck! It's an ugly color anyway. So the lady finally calles me into her office and sure enough here comes killer biting at my legs again. JEEZUS!! The dog follows us to her office and barked at me the entire time I was there (15-20min). This lady would not calm her dog or even attempt to take the dog out of the room so we can conduct our buisness. Only the occasional "boobie". These dogs, especially this little turd, ruled that house!! I thought it was rude and unprofessional!! On a good note she did have quite a bit of knowledge and will be about to help me with my legal issues!http://www.z28.com/forum/images/smilies/chuckles.gif

Yeah that lady should have put those dogs in the other room or something at least while you were doing your business.. that is very unprofessional, and that would probably cause some people to not go to her again.

I hate when people think that the dog is like a freakin kid. I hate tiny little dogs.. I mean whats the point in having a little 2 pound annoying yapping dog? those are not real dogs in my opinion. I have an 80 pound pit bull, he is a real dog to me. Anytime I have anyone come over I dont even let him jump on people or anything. And I have a nice expensive couch, and my dog KNOWS not to jump on it or he will get a whoopin, so he just stays off of it. That lady needs to train those dogs not to jump on her couch instead of having ugly rags and towels on it.

That was very unprofessional and shitty dog training on her part. Some people should not be allowed to own a pet IMO.

My dog gets away with getting on the couch occasionally, but she usually gets messed with while shes there lol, usually she'll get tired of me picking on her and just go lay on the floor.

Awwww She looks SO cute all cuddled up under those pillows!! ^

I'm an animal person, but hell no would they rule the house.

I have a 5 month old lab, and he would like to think he rules the house sometimes, but when it comes down to it, he knows what he can and can't do. If you can't control your dog I don't think you should have one. And +1 on not liking little dogs!
