Taking the dog everywhere.

[cardsfansince82]

My dad takes his dog everywhere he goes. It doesn't matter. Nice restaurant, grocery store, 3 hour baseball game, the dog is going. And this dog has a super loud annoying bark and he barks at EVERYTHING. Traffic cones, other cars, people, it doesn't matter. So anytime my dad is in town and wants to go somewhere I'm in the front seat and this dog is directly behind me shattering my eardrum. It's to the point where if we are going somewhere I try to find a reason to drive seperately. My dad just took the dog to get an oil change. These poor guys at the shop are going to have to try to change the oil while this angry, intimidating dog is barking at them for 20 minutes straight. I get that you like your dog. I like dogs as much as anyone. But have some respect for other people's comfort.

Does this mean he leaves the dog in the car for three hours during the game?

I'm gonna grab Doc's comment and run with it. Start sending your father pictures of Paris Hilton w/ dog in the mail. Do this for several months. Then make a giant Coach-style purse, big enough to fit your dad's dog in, and give it to him on his birthday. I think he'll stop.

Yes. He leaves all of the windows rolled down a foot or more each. I secretly hope his vehicle gets stolen to teach him a lesson.

I should also mention that he feeds the dog nothing but high quality meat. A typical day involves several hamburgers from the grill or a pound or more of fresh roast beef. I cooked NY Strips the other night and my dad made sure there were two for the dog. He claims the dog won't eat dog food, maybe because he never tried. When they took the dog to my sisters house he had no trouble eating her dog's dog food and treats. This is the same dad that took his kids on a grand total of one vacation growing up. We went to Florida. Did we stay in a hotel? No, we slept in a tent in a KOA. And we ate nothing but Spam, Carl Buddig "lunch meat" and a giant bag of Jolly Ranchers. You think I'm exaggerating, I'm not.

this sounds like a funny excerpt from a book.

LOL

You know, cardsfansince82, I bet that dog would love some antifreeze if you gave it some.

This almost seems cruel (leaving the dog in the car for 3 hours).

I don't care for people bringing dogs to work.
