Doggie Owner's Egoistic Antics



Why do dogs seem compelled to urinate on other people's property, but never their owner's?

Why do some dog owners conveniently become blind to their dogs defecating when they are not directly observed?

Why are some dog owners seemingly unconcerned when their dogs urinate on other people's property?

Why do some dog owners fail to carry water to dilute their dog's urine, showing consideration for public spaces?

Why do some dog owners believe they are exempt from picking up their dog's waste if it's deposited on road verges or around trees on side-walks?

Why do some dog owners feel justified in discarding used dog waste bags on the ground if a proper bin isn't immediately nearby?

Why do some dog owners assume that their love for their pet is universally shared?

Why do some dog owners believe that a casual assurance like "he's friendly" or "she won't bite" is sufficient justification to let their dog roam unleashed in public spaces?

What makes some dog owners feel entitled to unleash their dogs in public parks, disregarding leash laws and the comfort of others?

Why do some dog owners feel entitled to ignore rules that require dogs to be kept in carriers in certain public areas?

Why do some dog owners assume that their personal treatment of their dog as "family" overrides community rules and the consideration of others?

Why do some dog owners fail to recognize that others may be allergic to or simply dislike dogs?

Why are some dog owners oblivious to the reality that their belief in their dog's perfect behaviour is often unfounded?

 

There are responsible dog owners, and these concerns may not apply to them. However, we all have ears, eyes, and noses, and the issues caused by inconsiderate owners are hard to ignore.

This work is dedicated to Philip M., whose property has suffered due to some of the actions mentioned here. Many of these points reflect his reality. As I was developing this article, several others shared their grievances as well.

Most of the screen shots and references relate to LogSeq, but you can adjust them to your needs. The solution described here is one in which the synchonization with the repository will be manual. In this scenario, one would synchronise with the repo before opening the tool (LogSeq in my case) and update the repo again when you're done. The Steps ( skip if you want to jump directly to the actions ) This tutorial describes how to install  Termux  on an Android device.  Termux  is an open-source Android terminal emulator and Linux environment application.
