Well, then feel free to set up your own bus company that lets dogs ride. Just don't talk about having 'no rules' and wanting that freedom to only apply to you and not others.

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I give up

I'm going to watch a movie :blink:

You don't seem big on thinking your ideas through so maybe that's for the best.

Having a dog that looks like it would chew off a babies head without a second thought is probably quite the conversation piece.

And as for the rest of your rant, I really think you have a screw loose, I don't have personal exclusive rights to a trail, I use a 20ft long leash for my dog - not a retractable one, I heal him so he is close and away from someone that may fear him or from someone elses dog that may attack him, and yes that has happened. It's called protecting my dog from other peoples stupid behaviours and respecting other peoples views. As for dogs on buses, I have seen people allow their dog to pee up the fixtures in petsmart and petland, I wouldn't want to sit on a dog pee'd on seat on a bus.

You come across as a very single minded person who feels that her views are the only ones that should be listened to, I just hope you don't move down my street with your dogs running riot all over the place:eek:

Piff Poff: as one of the people who abhors large dogs jumping up against me (strange dogs! I don't know if they're friendly or not, how could I? I don't know them -I imagine its worse for kids as more dogs are large to them) Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Not to imply I abhor large dogs, I love 'em - I'm currently getting to walk a german shepherd cross who is lovely, but untrained large dogs are a lot of muscle and potential agression there.

No, I wouldn't ever hurt a dog. But they will get a tap on the nose (very light) to make them take their muddy paws off my best coat, and the owner will get told that 'him being friendly does not exclude me being a doggy axe murderer'.

Thank you for respecting other people and your dog! (I wish every dog owner took that attitude.)

Some people moan about absolutely everything. I don't always like giving into those people that want more and more rules.

Just tell me, who decides what is silly and incorrect. Can rules be absolute! The answer is absolutely not. :eek:

But my ball python is harmless! I love him! he's hypoallergenic almost, he sheds his skin in one piece. Oh and he won't hurt you .

And for the record, I've been keeping them for 12 years. They are just like part of my family, they're so gentle! Everyone should just love them to pieces, I mean, there has to be something seriously wrong with someone not to love a beautiful ball pyton. He has such a cute smile! And don't tell me anyone's really afraid, they're just putting on like people who sneeze when they come near dogs and say they're allergic! its not serious!

More seriously now: As a snake keeper of 12 years, I keep my baby safe. His safety is my first priority. you may or may not like them and may or may not strike out at him. As it was my responsibility to keep him safe, it becomes my responsibility to keep him out of the way of dangerous people such as yourself who might strike out if you were jammed in a busy bus next to him.

The same goes for dogs. And I've been bitten by more dogs than I have snakes, and the dog wasn't even mine, while the snakes have been lifelong companions.

If you want your dog to travel with you whereve ryou go, I suggest you get a car. As people don't all feel the same and you are responsible for your pets' well being. And that includes not being careless where you take them and when.
