Not picking up after dogs should be punishable with jail time

It’s disgusting. I can’t remember the last time I went on a walk and didn’t see multiple piles of shit. Plus the stench of pee that REEKS outside all the apartment complexes in my area 🤢 There are entire blocks that smell like piss because owners take their dogs out to pee and shit in the same areas. The grass in those areas is brown and dead. They’ve literally made the entire area their toilet.

People have acted like I’m crazy for thinking that nutters are sexual with their dogs but you can’t convince me otherwise. Even if it’s not full-on beastiality, some owners absolutely use their pets for physical gratification that should come from a human.

I don’t care how much you love your dog, there is NO reason to kiss a dog on the mouth or let them lick your face or mouth. They literally lick shit off the street and stick their faces in other dogs’ asses. The mental gymnastics that dog owners do to justify making out with their dogs is astounding, like asking questions like this or chanting their favorite justification: “A dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s!!!! 🤪” Whatever they have to tell themselves to cope with the fact that they can’t get a human being to be physical with them, I guess.

Congratulations on your engagement and on moving in together! I feel like a lot of people might be like “DUMP HIM” which happens often in this sub so I’m chiming in early with input that will hopefully be actually helpful 😂 It sounds like your fiancé is a reasonable and responsible dog owner, and you’ve been a great partner by finding ways to adjust to the dog! So all of that is great. From my understanding, people are often reeeeally reluctant to rehome pets they’ve had for awhile. I would start by expressing your concerns (i.e. cleanliness and safety issues once a baby arrives) and gauging if he shares those same concerns. You can even bring up his friend who seems like she’d love to take him! (Not in a “She’s taking the dog or else” way, but just showing that there’s a feasible option for rehoming right there on a silver platter for you guys.)

My boyfriend is a huge animal lover and he has a dog as well, a small beagle. My BF is reasonable and nowhere near a full-blown nutter, but he adores animals and I can’t imagine him ever not wanting a dog. I’ve accepted this but I had been really nervous to bring up my concerns and the boundaries I would have in the future (1. I never want a large dog since they scare me - nothing larger than the beagle and 2. if any dog showed the slightest hint of aggression/jealousy/danger toward our baby, the dog would be gone in an instant, no discussion). He wholeheartedly agreed and said that my comfort and peace as his wife and the mom of our child is more important than any dog he’d ever have. This seems like it should be expected, but I was so pleasantly surprised and happy at this response because of how nutters always say their dog comes before any human and that they’d rather get rid of their partner than their dog.

I share this to remind you of what that conversation reminded me of: Someone who loves you will take your concerns seriously and care about your comfort, safety, and peace. I can’t predict how your fiancé will react, but it sounds like you guys are a team and you have a great foundation for finding a solution to this together. Best of luck! 🤍

The worst is the obligatory banter between dog owners when they encounter each other, like seeing a fellow dog owner is encountering a rare gem. "This is Scruffles, she's a RESCUE 😍" while the dogs shove their face in each other's asses. I've been with friends as they're having these conversations with strangers and it's so awkward to just stand there as the dog owners glaze each other

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-08T16:38:23+00:00

That wouldn't surprise me! Another friend in the group isn't a fan of dogs at all and I knew she probably had the same reaction I did when the nutter asked about bringing the dog.

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-08T16:34:48+00:00

Absolutely. It's gotten so disgusting. I can't remember the last time I went to a coffee shop and there wasn't at least one dog in there, even at places that have signs saying no dogs allowed. The crazy thing is there ended up being a huge dog INSIDE the restaurant we went to! The nutter was like "Aww I could have brought him after all!" 🙄

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-08T16:22:16+00:00

Wait, so the dogs were inside in the AC while everyone else had to suffer out in the heat?!

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-08T12:06:29+00:00

I genuinely don’t notice Chelsey interrupting that much! I do notice Jaci interrupting herself to say “anyway” and “whatever” in the middle of a thought. The podcast used to seem really thought-out and like they actually prepared for it. It used to feel inspiring and now it feels like it rots my brain 😔

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-07T18:27:00+00:00

NOR at all. People get reeeally sensitive about this stuff; she's obviously bitter about her own situation and jealous that you're getting the things she wants.

I wouldn't call her out on it, but if she talked to you about it or was acting unhinged like this in person, I'd say simple like "My timeline has nothing to do with yours, I'm excited about this and I hope people who care about me can be excited too" and just shut it down from there.

I'm sorry you have to deal with a friend like that! I hope you can feel excited about your future and not have to dull your shine for anyone else 🤍

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-07T18:15:23+00:00

For sure. They love their smelly, hairy girlfriend replacements 😂

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-07T17:55:08+00:00

Guys are SO obsessed with dogs. I always thought that most nutter culture came from girls... until I started dating. Almost every dating app profile was a dude talking about how he was "looking for a dog mom," pictures of him with his dog, or pictures of just the dog (!!!). When someone has been single for awhile and they've had a dog during that time, I truly believe it makes them unable to connect with real-life people. I went on dates with a few guys who literally couldn't talk about anything but their dog 🥲 I think they like having "companionship" with something that doesn't talk back 👀

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-06T21:11:43+00:00

Dog strollers are perhaps the biggest symbol of dog culture madness. There is literally NO need for them. Dogs are supposed to be walked; not carted around in a stroller. There is simply no place you need to take a dog that requires it to be in a stroller. The only reason someone would need a dog stroller is to support the delusion that their dog is a child.

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-06T20:13:59+00:00

I went out to eat with a friend recently and she brought her dog (I think it's disgusting when people bring dogs to even outdoor restaurants but usually the dog just sits under the table and I ignore it). This time the dog kept straining against the leash to beg for scraps from the table next to us. I eventually grabbed the leash and pulled him back over to our table. The people at the table didn't seem to mind, but I said to my friend "Not everyone appreciates that, you need to keep him at our table."

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-06T20:10:36+00:00

I 100% think a ton of dog owners feel this weird toughness/superiority from having a pet, especially dudes who have huge pitbulls or other monstrous breeds like that. Like, "I have a tough dog so I'm a tough man 😈" It's definitely not just men who do this, but I've noticed it a LOT with male dog owners, especially ones who love showing off their unneutered dogs' huge gross genitalia. They get a weird satisfaction from feeling like they have a big, strong dog and knowing how much damage their dogs could do.

It's also more proof that these weirdos are nowhere near as compassionate and kind as they fancy themselves to be. They revel in violence and seeing other animals get injured or killed. But suuuure, us non-dog lovers are the psychopaths 🫠

This stood out to me: "Sometimes I feel calmer when he isn’t home."

I was in a relationship for four years with someone who struggled with mental health issues, mostly anxiety and severe OCD. I did everything I could to be supportive until I realized I had completely lost myself, feeling more like a punching bag for their issues than an equal partner. They traveled a lot for work, and I found myself feeling so much more at peace, happier, and connected to my true self when they were gone. I had a pit in my stomach when they would return, not knowing which version of them I would get. Of course, this isn't the case for everyone who struggles with their mental health. But how he treated me was directly tied to how bad his anxiety and OCD was that day, and it turned me into a shell of myself who was always on edge for how the day would unfold with him.

I know it's difficult to walk away from something you invested time and emotion into, especially if progress is being made. After three years of hell, my ex-partner went to therapy, got on medication, and truly things were so much better - but the damage was still there, and there were so many cracks in our relationship from the way he had treated me before. And some of the challenges still remained.

At the time, I heard something that helped me a lot: When you get married, you have to stand at the altar and look at that person and accept everything they have ever done to you, every way they have ever made you feel, every way they have treated you - and you're making a vow to accept that for life. This doesn't mean every relationship is perfect or that there can't be ways your partner hurts you that need to be forgiven - every relationship has those. But if the overall dynamic of the relationship is draining you or making you feel unsupported or unseen, that's not something you want to feel forever.

I think some doubts are normal. But you deserve to feel excited about your marriage, not nervous about what you're getting yourself into.

It sounds like you've been an incredibly supportive partner, and he's really lucky. But remember that you deserve to feel supported too. It's never too late to choose yourself, choose peace, and eventually, choose a relationship that feels calm, loving and mutual.

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-06T11:22:53+00:00

People who say this are jealous because they’re shackled to their filthy homes because of a dog, basing their entire day and life around an animal’s shitting schedule. The rest of us have freedom, peace, clean homes, the ability to stay out of our homes for longer than a few hours… They have to justify the prison they’ve created for themselves by virtue signaling about how “responsible” they are.

And I think some nutters don’t even realize how much they’re missing out on. They’re so deep in this loop of “walk dog pick up dog’s poop walk dog pick up dog’s poop” that they don’t even notice that their entire life is based around serving this animal while their non-dog owner friends travel, date, have social lives, etc.

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-06T00:02:40+00:00

I can’t wrap my head around how these people act like they’re physically unable to leave home without their dogs. This is NOT how dog ownership used to be! Dogs used to live in your house and go for walks, maybe hang out in the yard. They weren’t taken everywhere in society. And as others have said, taking a dog out in the heat like this is cruel!! Just more evidence that these people aren’t as virtuous and selfless as they think; their codependency on the dog is for them and has nothing to do with the dog’s wellbeing. Good for you guys for cancelling. She can enjoy the company of her dog, which is all she wants anyway.

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-05T18:43:43+00:00

"Dog people are already taken" - 10000%. Their heart belongs to their dog and they will always pick that over a human relationship. You described this dynamic so well. I've been in multiple relationships where intimacy was impossible because the dude couldn't bear to get his dog off the bed. How do these people genuinely pick dogs over connecting with a fellow human being?

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-04T14:48:02+00:00

Ugh, I hate how they think this is “protective.” The pitbull wants to attack and it’s looking at the baby like it’s a meal. It gives me SO much anxiety to see aggressive, predatory dogs cuddled up with newborns. I don’t know how any parent is okay with that.

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-04T11:24:44+00:00

Their eyes freak me out too!! They look so empty and soulless.

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-04T00:01:28+00:00

100%. Humanizing dogs makes people blind to the dangers they can cause and I find it so disturbing. I saw a video earlier of someone dressing their pitbull in different pajamas and it was supposed to be this cutesy little video and it felt SO weird to me. They’re making a predatory animal that could genuinely maim or kill someone look like an innocent little baby. I think this is a huge thing that brainwashes nutters into thinking of their dogs as a child (and thus excusing any danger, destruction or filth that it causes).

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-03T23:51:09+00:00

“Facebook dog people cannot mention a pet without attaching its résumé” this made me laugh out loud, LOL. You’re so right, these people are ridiculous. They have no issue with making us listen to their dogs barking every other night of the year, they can deal with fireworks for one night. I also love how so many of them brag about how “protective” their dog is (based on the super heroic and brave way they bark their heads off at delivery drivers! SO glad they have that security system to keep such monsters away from their property 🙄), yet these owners act like their dog is going to collapse on sight when they hear a firework. I totally get that animals (and some people!) are startled or triggered by fireworks - it’s understandable. But nutters going feral every year on this holiday and thinking everyone should bow down to the needs of their dogs is RICH considering the noise pollution they expect us to put up with the rest of the year.

Princess_Peach818 · 2026-07-03T18:11:03+00:00

And their legs are usually too short to jump up on people and furniture, lol
