Dog park users: Okay, we all go to dog parks for a similar reason—to let our dogs run around and be dogs, yes? But that doesn’t mean checking your brain at the gate. Might I offer some suggestions? (1) Your kids. While delightful, your kids tend to incite a riot when screeching and running in circles. Some dogs herd, others inadvertently knock the wee ones over, others chase. (2) Pick up your dog’s poo. It’s not difficult. (3) Don’t bring your un-neutered, hyper, aggressive dog to the park. This turns the park into some sort of crazy humping, neck-biting hell, and we flee. Your aggro dog’s pinning my dog in the dirt while he cowers for his life and tries to avoid penetration is NOT playing. The line has been crossed, my dog’s flipping out, and you’re too busy chatting/sipping your latte/sitting in your lawnchair to care. And when I pull your dog off (Out? Eew.) of my dog, don’t act like I’m crazy because they’re “just playing.” Animal nature, whatever—just watch your dog. Or next time I’m penetrating you with a dildo while you lean against the fence and sip your latte, I’ll use that line.—Anonymous

  1. Seriously, the only thing more obnoxious than latte swilling yuppies is latte swilling yuppies with ill behaved animals (children included). Perhaps putting that four dollars spent each day on coffee towards obedience school would be benaficial for everyone.

  2. Yes, and when not at the dog park, it’d be nice if doggie owners would remember to keep their friggin doggies on a leash. A leashless doggie bit me last week as I stood stock still waiting for the owner to corral him, all the while exclaiming “He never bites anyone! He never bites anyone!” and then got all righteous when I, in a neutral tone of voice with no body language at all, suggested the dog be restrained with a leash or a fence. These people are giving the good doggie owners a bad name.

  3. Once at Couch park, i saw a woman got really mad at her dog for almost killing a squirrel. It was intense. And I drew it on my sketchbook. She was really upset and felt really bad for the stunted squirrel.
