    I didn't say she had - did I?

    It was merely an observation.
  • A friend of my mother's had a randy dog, - it used to hump anything! :eek:

    It had a heart attack in the end, not sure if that was the reason!
  • The post made me :), I thought it was very funny and very typical of many dog owners I have encountered.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Elsien finds one lunatic Gitdog is quite enough to be going on with at any one time.

    Having said that, there are an awful lot of people who allow their off lead dogs to approach , then get silly when he lands on their heads. I just remind them whose dog is on the lead and whose isn't. :)

    Having spent over three years at an emergency out-of hours vet clinic, I can understand why the FP poster was driven to write what was shared here by Elsien. Shredded ears, toxin-ingestion and far, far worse - all encountered as a result of ineffectual dog control. Seems that the ne'er-do-well in this case is merely over-horny, but that's no excuse for his owner to let him scamper at will.

    What's even more worrying is when you realise that some of these rather pathetic people also have children.

    Good share Elsien. Love to Gitdog from Gisele (dog) x

    Person one didn't reference elsien in anything she posted above.

    As for snarky veiled personal attacks, I wouldn't call it an attack but you posted on a thread saying don't you think annandales posting style is similar to the OPs?

    When it wasn't. If you want to comment about being snarky maybe you should realise that lots of people on here spend time having digs at one another and you are as capable of that as anyone else.

    Including myself because if someone gives it out to me, they'll get it back.

    Funny isn't it- they say a dog is like its owner and we've all come across bad ones.

    That said this is another prime example of why I don't use Facebook. The creator of Facebook should have called it 'my open diary for anyone but me'.

    Yes I know I'm one of those people who fails to see the good in it, just seems to be a vehicle for bragging, passive aggressive, ranting or one-upmanship and I notice more bad than good from it.
