Not troling at all. simply observing how much dogs influence people. Much of the influence is good. Many dogs bring out the best in people.

Dude! yer dog stole your truck!
Seriously WTF do i do about blue coming to eat Emerson the cat this weekend? Blue hates climbing. I want to climb. Blue does not want me to climb. can't leave him in the car, you get arrested for that these days. leave him home he will eat Emerson. take him climbing and he will bark and growl at everyone, his mommy will tell everyone that he just wants to play and scold him in baby talk and he will bite someone or get in a dogfight............

Don't let it happen. You are the human - take responsibility for the situation instead of acting as if the dog "owns" you by proxy.
I have partners who do not want to climb with dogs. Either Teddy stays home, or I choose not to climb with the person. I certainly would not take Teddy to the home of a partner who does not want to have a dog along and who also has a cat, and leave him there. Why would your partner think that is acceptable? Have you discussed it with them?
Am I correct in assuming the climbing partner is a woman you either have a romantic interest in? If so, and you can't find your way out of this dilemma, it sounds like you are slave to something other than Blue the Dog....

Have to agree on the homeowner thing - too much STUFF, including a home, will enslave one far more than a dog. Call it the "Golden Handcuffs".
I loved having a dog. Yes, there were sacrifices, but I thought the positives outweighed the negatives. And some of the "negatives" were actually positives (I was in much better shape because dog required a morning run, for example!).

hey there say, all....
reading all the shares here...
i (but then i had kids too) like to think of it as "responsibility"
without any responsibility in our life, people-folks can be
very self-centered... (you can see this fast-off in little kids, and little kids become adults that are self-centered, and even SELFISH i you do not 'introduce' responsibility and what it adds to our life, or their, life)...
it is easy to be unresponsible and do whatever one pleases...
it is a step up, to embrace repsonsiblity and all the blessing that go with it (which others may see as enslaving)...
ex: when folks feed a dog, a kid, etc, because 'they have to... they see life in action... not self doing an escape to whatever else (which is life, as well, but far less responsible, and leaves out the joy of seeing the feelings that are manesfested by those that ARE FEED--meaning the dog, or the little kids...
love blooms so very special when responsibility is in work...
it is more than just 'doing' and getting the various 'reactions' back...
with being responsible, you don't mind if others don't care, or share, back, as:
your agenda is knowing that you are here on this earth to do what life should be--taking part in the interaction of adventures with others--whether critters or humans... it is watching LIFE and the tides that ensue, as you 'do' whatever you have taken on as the 'responsiblity...
kids, dogs, cats, a home, a car (cars take a lot of free time and money, too, if one wants one to work-well)... the list goes on...
being self-centered--no saying anyone is here--is a very easy trail, but in the end, the loss is less riches in the realm of 'having the treasure' of experiencesing what responsibilty does:
it brings out ones HIDDEN talents, and it refines and shines the inner man
to be a treasure to others....
even a treasure to a dog...
:)
well:
just sharing what i learned by having kids to baby-sit as a youth...
which steered me to love 'responsibilty' and all it 'grows' in our lifes...
:)

Its f*#king rude and inconsiderate and I am about to just go out the f*#king door and kick the sh#t out the next dog owner who lets them use my yard as their toilet.
There, I fixed it for you. Its not the dogs fault is it? Why don't you grow a set and deal with the owner instead of talking about kicking the sh#t out of a dog. I hope the next animal you beat rips your nuts off.
