It's better than lying about your tics . . . .  

Before you check ( I know you will) I have pathetic tics in my profile, because I'm not a good climber.

i was walking out of the house yesterday and saw a sign with a person in a wheelchair that said:

“hi. when you don’t pick up after your dog, it goes on my wheels straight to my hands. please pick up after your dog”. 

So the guy is blind as well??  

Yes, Pick up after your dog and don’t shake hands with this guy.  

Seriously though, that’s not how wheelchairs work.    The hand wheel is not the one that touches the ground.

Dang. If someone bothered to put up a sign right outside your house, your dog’s shit must be a real problem.

I only know this from messing around on wheelchairs getting late night hours in the ED- it's nearly impossible to not inadvertently touch the ground wheel with your wrist and sleeves while grabbing the hand wheel.  Homie isn't blind, just tired of getting gross shit on themselves while trying to go about daily life.  It's like you having to rub the sole of your shoe on your sleeve every time you take a step in public.

Tics are for posers

I was in a wheelchair for just over a year.  There is a reason why I wore 'driving gloves' when when using the chair.  ::yuck::

People without tics or an 'active' climbing profile should immediately have their opinion discarded. We have no context for what they are saying.

Nah, I respect your climbing game man. We are all on our own climbing journey. I suck at climbing too : )

maybe you should bring your dog over to explain it to him.

I’d just explain how to notice and then wheel around poop piles, rather than thru them.

“Teach a man to fish…..” and all that.  And then maybe gift him a sweet pair of driving gloves  

But don’t lump me into wrong categories here.  I favor goldfish.  I was just trying to fill in what I saw as “gaps” in the story ;)

Have you ever stepped in dog poop? Anyone you know ever stepped in dog poop?

I get your initial reaction as mine was the same but then I thought about it, for a second...

If you’re reading and posting to this dog thread (or any dog thread) and taking anything anyone says here even remotely seriously to any degree,  I’d submit that if you actually thought about it for a second, you’ve wasted your time…

Don't worry Mark no one would seriously mistake you for someone capable of taking care of a dog.

Ah mhmm, I agree but luckily I have time to waste.  

Remember folks if you have to say “Im not worried about my dog, unless kids run around or go in its face….” That means you're worried about your dog and it should not be at a crag, and more so, should not be off leash. (Dog went in kids space not visa versa)

If your dog is going to walk into children’s faces while off leash (thats like a horse size animal to a small kid) and the dog can’t handle being pushed away by said child, and if that is going to make you nervous about the dog, then your dog shouldn’t be at the crag.

Event: arrived at crag, two dogs cannonballed us, up in our shit, one bit my shoe when shoo’d away, not a bug deal, but something to note when you have a kid, other dog walked into 5yos space, face right into his face, 5yo swung arms around like a 5yo might do. Above comments ensued.  

“Im not worried unless” means you are worried.  Why argue so much about it?

Hmmm...sounds fishy.

Let me translate that.

Arrived at crag, two dogs come up to us normally wagging their tails to say high, I had a meltdown and kicked wildly at one dog and my shoe contacted it's face, other dog was figured 5yo might be friendlier but was mistaken, 5yo started swinging arms like a windmill because had no experience with dogs, owner was like, WTF, these humans are going to hurt my dogs, comments ensued.  

About right?

Picture of my daughter the day she got Luna.  You gotta start exposing kids early.  Then they don't develop unecessary fear reactions.  

Genuinely not the case. It was as explained. I didnt even care but then got told they were worried about their own dog with the kids.

Truly.

At that point I said leash your dog id uoir worried.

Classic Bruno GAS LIGHTING people into thinking shit dog behavior is everyone else's fault but the dog owner. 

Is it a coincidence your initials are B.S.?

Hi Grug, 

Nice to see you dropping in. 

You get a dog biscuit for using the words GAS LIGHTING in all caps.  Good boy!

I do think my initials are rather appropriate. They stand for Benign Sapien

Hey David, 

You get points for responding in good faith.  There's a chance that you're new to the many dog threads we've enjoyed on MP....if so it might be worth familiarizing yourself with the history.  These issues have been discussed waaaaaayyyyyy too many times. 

What triggered me in you post (which resurrected this moribund thread) was you use of the words and phrases like, cannonballed, up in our shit, face to face, and so on.  That sounds like the language of somebody who just doesn\t like dogs, and, as such, it's hard to trust your story.  

Anyway, if there are/were leash laws at that crag, the dogs belonged on leashes.  If there were no leash laws, it gets complicated.

Awesome that you are out there climbing with your kid.  My daughter is 15 now and still sometimes tolerates climbing with her dad.

B.S.
