    Nope. I just think I’d be pretty pissed off if I was at a water park and someone bought a bloody dog in.

    I’d get down and have some rough and tumble.

    Only on Singletrack. 🙄

    It’s not a “water park” with slides and swimming pools by the way. It’s just some squirty fountain things at a normal park:

    I suspect you didn’t read the page that that linked too, as that dog isn’t going to be shitting anywhere you moron.

    Sign of a sick mind, as dogs kick off the same chemicals in the our brains that stops us doing bad things to children……

    Pretty sad story, but nice that they gave him a ‘send off’.

    I don’t have an issue about the dog going on the water park thing. Fair play; break the rules and go for it. If it’s outside anyway, you probably get birds preening in it, foxes drinking from it and all sorts.
    If it’s not chlorinated or whatever to protect kid’s faces from dog dribble, then someone needs to sue the council or something….

    My issue (and I will probably regret posting this) is why do people now feel almost obliged to publicise this kind of thing on the internet?
    Sure, it’s your dog. You want him to have a nice send off and do some fun things with him. I understand that. But the cynic in me wonders how many of these people set these kind of things up, just so they can pop home and stick it on a blog/facebook to share with the world.
    No one seems content with doing things and keeping it just for themselves and their friends/family.
    Bah, think I’m just getting too old for ‘social media’….

    Contrary to popular belief it’s my initials, so it’s NJEE, not en-gee, could be some acronym for “happy bringer of joy”, which I am, I don’t need a shitty slobbering animal to bring me joy, dying or not!

    The photographer posted it on her blog, which seems like a pretty reasonable thing to do. Especially as someone with an interest in dogs too.

    Social media did the rest.

    Amputating your dog’s leg and then taking loads of photos of him frolicking before having him put down seems a rather drastic way to seek attention.

    Nope. That dog can walk albeit with 3 legs but a good life.

    My father rescued a dog that was ran over by a car and was left to dead, it survived but was left to die in the monsoon rain drainage. My father rescued it then nursed it back to health and looked after it for the next 8 years, cleaning dog poo and urine everyday, because the dog could not walk and was paralyzed waist down.

    We lost this big fella last Friday to liver disease, his last day didn’t include waterparks but he did have his favourite snack, apples 🙂

    Not liking dogs is very weird indeed.

    No it’s not, it’s a side-effect of growing up in a farming village and being bitten too many times by vicious barstewarding farm dogs, usually to the tune of an idiotic owner saying something inane like “Oh, don’t mind him/ he’s just a puppy/ he’s just playing/ he’d not harm a soul”

    I do not wish harm on animals, but I genuinely don’t understand the sentimentality pet owners have for a walking, crapping, noisy, smelly waste of money.

    Not liking dogs is very weird indeed.

    Why? Surely it’s no different to not liking any other thing, living or otherwise. Something that stinks, shits everywhere and periodically kills people, seems quite obvious why some folk may not like them?

    No, not liking dogs is a case of ancestral memory back to the days when we built fires in cave entrances to stop the wolves stealing our children.

    Dogs that are dead don’t generally shit everywhere due to the fact they are dead…….. surely that’s not hard to grasp?

    You do realise that your fantasy world of dogs doesn’t relate to actual historical evidence dont’t you?

    The title of the thread included the following warning : Warning: happy sad dog story.

    Why would anyone who hates dogs want to open a thread which contains that warning ?

    And why, having opened a thread which covers a subject that they are not interested in, do they then feel that they must make the effort to inform everyone that they don’t like dogs ?

    Clearly some people need a damn good grumble and the ability to dispense large amounts of negativity to make their lives more complete.

    This is a little beauty :

    Why? Surely it’s no different to not liking any other thing, living or otherwise. Something that stinks, shits everywhere and periodically kills people, seems quite obvious why some folk may not like them?

    And I can guarantee that despite not liking dogs njee20 will repeatedly come back to this thread.

    They say that it takes all sorts to make a world but it never fails amaze me just how different from each other humans can be.
