I was in the local DIY store - this company is an institution - and this guy was standing in the aisle with a meaty AF dog, some kind of staffy or bull terrier. I had to walk past and the damn thing growled at me. There's this new madness where people have to take their dog into the store. Why the fuck can't they leave their dogs at home when they go pick up DIY stuff? Madness. I stopped want a dog around COVID..

We used to have dogs - they slept outside and if they shit in the street you'd grab a stick and flick it in the bushes. No one around to care and not enough dogs for it to be an issue. Now people get outraged on Facebook if you do much look at your dog funny and god forbid you don't bring doggie bags. Couldn't think of anything worse that having to do that. I loved having a dog but there's enough of them around now
Don't need me adding another to the mix.

I do love dogs though. Very much. Just not the circus of dog ownership these days
