First time as a seasonal camper

I saw something last week when we were camping in the mountains: a very large man driving a golf cart with a very large Saint Bernard tied to the back, trotting along. I will make no comment on the man's obesity, as I don't know him or his medical history. But the dog was having a blast running after his golf cart several times a day. :B

I gotta say, this is a hilarious read. Sarcasm isn't always detected in writing is it? I'm amused because we r coming from Australia to full time around your country for 6 months & now I can't get this vision out of my head of what your camp grounds must look like, half of you walking around with dogs, getting there exercise & the other half in golf buggies, all of which may or may not have cloths on. We r bringing 3 girls 5, 8 & 10. We will keep them on a leash. And we will be using them to meet people, if that's allowed?

You will certainly enjoy America. It's a land where people have the freedom to do as they choose....and to tell others what they should do as well. Ever since political correctness reared it's ugly head, wrong is now right and right is wrong.

I never did quite understand why people bring their dogs to Home Depot? I saw a little kid get snapped at by a yorkie as he went to pet it. The owner yelled at thekid 'hey, be careful, he bites'...? Why on God's green earth would you bring your pet that bites to a place like that...?? If I were the father of that kid, there would have been one less yorkie in the world.

BTW...restaurant managers can ask for proof of service for any animal declared so. Many just don't for being afraid of offending someone, and risking an 800 call. There are many reputable service training companies out there looking for people to help train dogs for service.

As usual a post designed to turn into your typical dog plundering threads. Can the original poster really get that jacked up over people walking their dogs? Is it really that perplexing of a thought? Yet all the dog haters use this as a avenue to carry on like they know every dog out there.

As to this previous post, you resort to killing a dog over something your kid should have been taught not to do. Maybe better supervision of your child could have prevented such a drastic measure on your part?

Our four cats find all those dog walkers free entertainment as they lounge in their safe outdoor "cat porch." ;-)

Lets see for starters;
1. The ones that walk the dogs off the leash and the dogs come running up at you. Their comment "oh he's friendly he won't bite. I don't give **** it if doesn't have a tooth in its head ! Keep the dam thing on the leash and under control. I hate it when you walk on a path and here they come from the other way with their dog on one of those retractable leashes out to the max, and we will kindly ask that they pull the dog in and they give us the f U snighed smirk look and half ass do it.

2. The ones that let their dogs do their business and just walk away .
3. The ones that leave their dogs locked in the camper and are gone for hours at a time , meanwhile the dog is non-stop barking. You let the CG office know and they just say ok we'll talk to the owner.
4. The ones that think that every business / restaurant is a Petsmart store.
Annoy the hell out of the rest of us

5: The ones where they are walking on one side of the street, their pooch is on the other, separated by a retractable leash, and you hear the paniced grinding of the ratchet as they try to yank the dog back as a car comes by. This is especially annoying if you are on a bike, since it is a good way to get clotheslined.

So are half crazed kids hyped on candy & pop running around everyones campsite and screaming at the top of there lungs more desirable? I'm sure you will experience this as well.

Just sit back and enjoy the show!

So if walking your dog is strange and some can't understand why people ride around in golf carts all day, then what are we suppsoe to think about the folks that drive their dog around in the golf cart all day?

If they carry their dog the dog wouldn't get much exercise.
