Pets in the RV park
I don't usually post rants on forums or any social media for that matter but I'm trying to see if I'm just narrow minded or what.
We have been RVing for over 11 years now. We have been to many different places with our kids and with a dog. After the dog we had passed away we didn't replace it with one that I consider a traveling dog. We have a black lab that lives at the house and that's where he stays. He doesn't like riding in anything. So he doesn't travel with us. Anyway, on to my rant. If you want to take your dog with you when you go RVing so be it. If you have three dogs that are as big as cows and you want to go RVing then have at it. I personally don't want to be in an RV with three large dogs but if that's what makes you happy then more power to you. However, if you have three dogs at your RV site next to me and one of your unleashes free roaming dogs comes over to my RV site and starts growing at my wife then don't be surprised if I'm not standing there with my hatchet in hand to protect my wife. I don't know you nor do I know your dog. You may say that your dog doesn't bite but people get bit everyday by dogs that "do not bite". Also, if your dog barks constantly at every squirrel and person that walks by then you need to buy a muzzle or you need to train your dog to not bark. Don't get me wrong. I love dogs. I'm 51 years old and can never remember a time that we didn't have a dog. I guess my problem is more with the owners of the dogs than the dogs themselves. Is it to much to ask that people control and keep their dogs on a leash? Is that an unreasonably request in the world we live in today? Am I just being a narrow minded jerk? Your thought.
