A dogs world

Subject: A dogs world.


The problem with having a dog around is that they have 'you' in their proverbial pocket. It's especially true if they are a powerful breed since not only is your world theirs  but everyone else's world is theirs as well since the whole environment, the cats and dogs the small and large, the cars and pedestrians, the sheep and cows, the environmental footpath which has to remain poo free is an evaluated nightmare.The list is long and exhaustive, it contains many fraught situations where a quiet walk turns into a battlefield of life and death decisions which have to be made instantly. The panting mutt is transformed into a frightening weapon of mass destruction in the blink of an eye at the sight of a cat or perhaps another dog wishing to proclaim his or her territory. The dog owners eyes are continually scanning the neighbourhood for signs. The fear threshold is never far away
All kinds of elemental foes are paraded through the portals of the dog owners brain as the world around becomes a potential crisis. 
To the dog of course this is all lost. The implications of a fight in this PC, everyone has rights world, even cats is plainly ridiculous to the dog. Cats are fair game as they preen their way into the human psychology which dogs wish to be their preserve. It shouldn't be possible to love a cat like dog but some people do and dogs have to be aware. Cats are not pursued for their poo, cats are not constrained by leads or the time they can be out with their mates, cats are independent and aloof and it's this 'off the radar' aloofness which is the most irritating. 
So "a cat a day" is most dogs motto, it should be ingrained on their owners forehead and the dog owner should stop being so god damned squeamish.
