I didn't write this, I just googled "I hate dogs" and quite a few websites popped up, that being one. Which just goes to show there are more than just me in the world who do not like dogs

Yes there are those people but they did not feel the need to share with people in a thread clearly of animal lovers. You would not win an argument here, nobody really cares how you feel about dogs, and personally I find it silly that you want to express your opinion about dogs to dog lovers, they like their dogs more than they would probably ever like you.

Perfect, Less presents to buy for at christmas! In all seriosness, does it matter if they like me? NO... Does it matter if I like dogs? NO.... Sweet jesus, when someone posts a title such as "Why are dogs needy?" is it completely out of the realm of possibility that someone could interpret that as a conversation open for debate?! Had it been titled "I LOVE DOGS, THEY ARE THE REASON I BREATHE" I would have steered clear of that bad boy indefinitely.... Geesh! But now, I find the personal attacks towards me all to prove you're a better person (than me) all because I said I hate dogs to be rather facinating... Very "GroupThink" mentatilty going on.

But when you opened the thread and saw that people were posting cute .gif's that had dogs in them, were talking about how much they like dogs and posting pictures of their own that right there should have told you that this is a thread where animal lovers were going to be.

And I doubt you would have steered clear of a thread that stated it was for dog lovers. Based on what you've said here and the fact that this was CLEARLY a thread about how awesome dogs are you would have charged in and said the exact same things.

when I pressed reply there was like 2 posts, short, sweet nothing really geared towards loving dogs. By the time I typed I hated them and pressed post, there was a ton of Pictures of dogs up.... Then people started slinging insults, which is very interesting to me

Dogs have been hanging out with people for at least 20,000 years.

...

So have crabs though, so...

Nevermind.

Aw, the "my dog the paradox" thing is so true. My dog in a nutshell.

Speaking of needy dogs...anyone else ever have a Bernese Mountain Dog? It's impossible to hug a family member in my house without Tug jumping up to get in on the love.

Yes! I have two. They are a wonderful breed and great companions.

And this:

Because they have feels

Didn't clue you in that it was a happy thread about dogs and the people who like them? Those were the "first few posts" that were there.

Ok, so not to be a total debbie downer... but.

That dog, and the lone hopper earlier both have a sort of neurological degeneration that causes that. Aside from the mobility funkiness though, they live on just fine. The mad dancer you quoted lives in a dog rescue, who took that video.

So sadly amusing, but folks with good hearts are making sure it's good to go for that particular animal.

ETA - according to an interview with the folks that care for the mad dancer, that's a really happy dog.

This one is on a diet


ETA: My boy actually hates lettuce or cabbage, he makes a huge deal of spitting it out.

linzchapates

Wow. I hope you don't raise your kids to be half as dumb as you are. Kthxbai.

I hope I can raise my kids to be more than half as respectful as you are... Actually, any amount over zero is an improvement. Having to resort insulting someone to win an argument speaks volumes. Thumbs up!

If she happens to get a bit of lettuce with dressing or something on it, she'll lick it all off and leave the lettuce.
