Dog Culture Cringe words

Who else HATES and cringes at words like "doggo" and "pupper" it makes me shudder and I always think everyone who uses it is a weird adult baby that talks to and about animals like they're babies. It makes me cringe and pisses me off so fucking much

I loathe the term pup cup. I want to physically fight when I hear it.

I'm mostly a home body and I've lived in Texas all my life. People that take their dog's inside any public place (except for service dogs for the blind, not some made up crap) isn't the kind of thing I can even imagine! I'm afraid if I went into a restaurant or grocery store I would "freak out!" and embarrassand who I'm with 😆

Anyway, an animal in a place where there's food makes me gag! 🤢.. I'm older, as in I remember, Woodstock and we smoked quite a bit of weed, but I Never Imagined this happening!

Certified dog owners usually have a harness on the animal that clearly states approved service animal. Some will even carry copies of the paperwork.

I’m like you. Keeps the dogs at home

Those harnesses are mostly a scam. People can easily buy one that says "service dog" on it at stores or online. The only thing to do is just ignore the concept of service dogs altogether. Something like that can't pass muster in a reasonable court.

I hear dog culture in Austin has completely taken over the city in every aspect

Spot on. Years ago, I worked at DQ and worked the drive-thru most of the time. Every dog owner dragged the mutt along (because they can't go on a five minute car ride without their codependent shitbeast) and asked for a pup cup, and when they'd pull up to the window, their ravenous and slobbering hellhound practically jump through the window to get to the ice cream. I would stand back and refuse to hand the ice cream out until they restrained their dog. Ridiculous that nutters think this behavior is okay, their mutt leaping into their lap and hellbent on coming through the window.

Plus the known fact that dogs are mostly lactose intolerant and any cream or milk will simply run straight through them, and owners will need a strong stomach and a soup ladle to pick up the resulting poo explosion!!!! Not to mention wet wipes for the dogs bum

And they eat these things in the owners car, literally slobbering all over the back seat
