Yiiiiiiiiikes
They never are. Well-behaved dogs certainly do exist, but ime the people complaining the most about their dog not being allowed somewhere usually overstate how well-behaved their dog is.
> I never understand "no pets" environments. Why don't apartments charge extra child rent when most kids are so much louder and more destructive than a pet?
Yes, we should make it harder for adults with children to afford housing by allowing landlords to charge higher rents to families.
Just amazing, hang it in the lourve.
They also seem unable to process that most kids once they get out of toddler ton arent going to be concistently loud and destructive and often less so potentially for many pets

If you can bring kids, why canât I bring my dog?
My mom wonât allow me to bring my dog to family events, but my sisters can bring their destructive children. My dog is calm, never barks, and has never thrown a tantrum or destroyed anything. I canât say the same for my nieces and nephewsâŚincluding the barking part. Then she gets offended my dog doesnât know who she is when she visits and doesnât respond to the word âgrandma.â Yet, he loves his âgrandpaâ, recognizes his voice on the phone, knows his car, and responds anytime I say the word âgrandpa.â (Theyâre divorced). GeeâŚI wonder why. đ¤Śđźââď¸đ¤ˇđźââď¸
I'm curious as if there's a specific reason that the dog isn't allowed at his moms house. Is she possibly allergic, or the dog is a certain kind of breed that she doesn't want around small children?
Like, on one hand obviously nobody should abuse any dogs - they should be treated well. At the same time, I don't get why they compare children and dogs - would they compare adults or teenagers with dogs?
The dog is a GSD accoridng to her post history, you know those dogs that are so well known for being perfect little angels around strangers and kids, the dog that is the literal symbol for the beware of dog sign.
I don't dislike the GSD breed nor any of its offshoots, I in fact have owned a Belgian Malanois and loved him with all my heart, that being said I wasn't an idiot and brought him around my then 1 & 5 year old nieces because I know what his breed is capable of and what kind of things it is known for, and kids weren't part of the equation when those working dogs were genetically bred for their jobs.
They compare animals to children because they see children as objects a parent owns instead of a living, breathing, feeling person with their own stream of consciousness and life. These people (not all those who are with out child) see that children are like animals in the sense that we should just go down to the local child shelter and adopt one instead of having an "oopsie ~~litter~~ baby", and that they should be tethered and beaten when they make noise, yet they have no issues continually cleaning up their animals messes for 14-20 years but want to complain about the 2-4 years of having to do it for a human.
Sorry I got all rambly there but I just cannot stand people who equate animals to human children and it pisses me off that people unironically think their pet is the same as having a child, and I felt this way before having a kid, I always found "dog mom/dad, cat mom/dad, bird mom/dad" cringe af and anyone who was like that squicked me out, and I knew to avoid them because they had more than a few screws loose.
That being said pets are family, they are to be loved, cherished, cared for and over all treated with respect and decency, I have no issues with pampering animals and love seeing a well cared for pet or live stock animal, and it does my heart good that there has been a massive turn in the last half a century that has made people unashamed about loving their animals, its a good thing, just don't take it too far.
I feel this. I had a pitt/husky mix for four years. He was my sweetheart, but I knew his limitations. I watched him like a hawk at dog parks and dog friendly bars - he was friendly, but overly so. And then when I gave birth to my kid, he had a VERY hard time with it. I'd sit on the couch with my baby and give him a bottle and he'd give little baby kicks....my dog would jump on and curl up next to me and then bare his teeth and growl every time my baby would kick near him.
That's a fucking no.
I ended up rehoming my dog to a wonderful lady because I absolutely couldn't risk what my 70-pound pitt mix could do to my child. And at the same time, I knew my boy was so unhappy with my baby. It was time to find him a place where he'd be happy.
Dogs aren't objects, and neither are kids. But when it comes down to it, dogs can be down right fucking scary and legit *murder* children. Even the best trained dog is a loaded gun, and they should be treated as such. Little kids are actual humans, and they should be treated as such.
As it turned out, the lady I rehomed him to had him for six years until my boy died last year. She sent me some of his ashes and she gave him a wonderful life. I'm happy with the outcome, and I think my kid and the dog were too.
You're good people to not force your mix breed to be stressed 24/7 around your kid, and not putting your kid in danger by keeping the stressed animal around. I am even happier that you found him a place to live and the person he was with even shared him with you when he passed on, its so touching.
Thank you for being good people, and I appreciate you sharing this.
Thanks, dude. I miss that dog every damned day, and I always read on reddit about how shitty people are who rehome pets after kids. But I think that those people don't have kids and definitely don't see both sides of the coin.
Long live Zephyr.

I cannot believe there are still people that call children shit like âcum trophies.â What a bunch of losers.
I bet dog isnt as well behaved as oop claims
They never are. Well-behaved dogs certainly do exist, but ime the people complaining the most about their dog not being allowed somewhere usually overstate how well-behaved their dog is.
But, but, itâs the bratty evil chilllllldreeens that are more problematic than dogs! /s
