Dogs in the BC?

That quote about dogs dirtying up the snow kinda makes me mad. Go make your own thread if all you want to do is complain about something and have no input on the subject.

You could have summed up your saying with, if you take a dog up in the bc, make sure to bring bags to pack out their crap. Would have been a bit more classy, just my 2 cents.

All of us dog lovers who take their dogs places always bristle at comments like the above.

I am fortunate to have a dog that is 100% voice command and do not put a leash on her unless I have to. I live in a planned community with lots of dogs and routinely take her for walks unleashed.

She will NOT approach anyone or dog for that matter unless I give her the command. If the person I am approaching acts like they want to visit my dog I will allow her to approach them, otherwise will not. Same is true with other dogs with their owners, if they want to visit I will otherwise we walk by.

I understand that not all people like dogs, and some are afraid. So I personally try and avoid mean looks from these people.

I also understand the poop thing. Us dog owners have to do our best to help out in the consideration of those who do not.

Is it not amazing how just about every subject has a detractor??

Perhaps the one subject that is not up for debate is good skiing. That is something we all can agree on.

I disagree.... I think good skiing is predictable and boring and I 'd for one like to see more bad skiing. Bad skiing is where is it is at nowadays. You people who like good skiing really make me mad. >

But seriously, as much as I disagree with  Willy and his dog dislike in the BC, I respect his right to his opinion and this thread seems an appropriate place to state it.
Just because the majority of the posters feel differently...why should he take his opinion elsewhere.
The tyranny of the minority by the majority has always been a TAY problem( IMHO).
Shame on you saxybrian for your censure!

my thread my rules!

I agree there is a place for it all, but when someone is asking about how your dog does in the BC, i'd like to keep it on that topic, not that dogs in the BC suck because they crap a lot.

Just doesn't fit the bill if you ask me!

Anyways, I fly out tonight from Austin to Issaquah so Friday is my first real night in WA as a resident!

Exciting times!

Rainy here takes big dumps and skis big dumps.

This one didn't like the jacket much but loves the snow.
