Now you may be asking... why do you hold such strong negative feelings to what most consider, "man's best friend."
Well... let me tell you...
Today was the topping on the cake for my already grown dislike for the K9's.
I was laying on my nice clean blanket in the middle of a green grassy field with not one person in site... just me and the mountains.
The grassy - fenced off area actually has signs posted that say, "no dog allowed on the grass". GREAT - exactly what I was looking for!
As I was laying there contemplating the meaning of life... actually I was basking in the sun thinking about how much I love living in Vancouver... WHEN out of the corner of my eye I see a lady walking her 2 dogs.
well... the wet, dirty, curly haired mutt broke away from the lady and came straight for me.
The stinky animal ran circles on my clean blanket, grabbed my Adidas flip flop in his slobbery mouth and ran away with it - chewing it like a toy... then came back for my sunglasses!!!!!
The lady came strolling over half apologizing... trying to grab him - while he continued to make laps on my clean blanket.
Finally she grabbed him... and they parted... leaving me with a slobbered flip flop, wet sunglasses, a dirty blanket, and ruffled hair.
NOW - you might say, that is no reason to "hate" dogs... WELL actually I've been tormented by dogs since I was 3 yrs old... they have chase me home from school, stuck their nose in my crotch, barked (without pausing for breath) for hours while I tried to study for my finals, they smell, they slobber, they yap at you... did I mention stick their nose in my crotch.
Today was just another example.... another reason.... another confirmation!
Now Poo Poo and I are going to watch the movie, "Must Love Dogs" - for real.
