Stop barking and leash your dogs please!

U should c this lady staying at the block next to mine. She has 2 dogs which she always walk unleashed in the garden. They poo whereever they want n she has never bothered to pick them up. Her dogs r not friendly, bark n chase after other dogs they do not like and she has been doing this I supposed since she moved in.

I saw this shameless old hag pull down his pants & urinate a pillar around Blk 163A nite time, after chit chatting with his other same aged comrades.  Is he somebody's pet as well?  Whom should I report to?

You folks are obviously not dog lovers. Not that we can force all people to love dogs la.

Dogs are like children. They bark to express themselves as do babies cry.  They bark when they are happy as well as when they feel threatened. Just as you cannot control your babies to cry, sometimes it is not possible to restrain dogs from barking (even though I know some owners are v good in this area of training).

Our dogs are our children.  We pay for them, feed them, bathe them, groom them, educate them and bring them to vets whenever necessary.  Only thing is we don't give birth to them, but does that makes them any less our children? No. Thus it is v disheartening to hear some of you speak of them like demons, much worse when you will feel so happy that the dogs are put to sleep. Think abt it: if your baby keep crying and is causing a nuisance to your neighbours, could they ask/would they be happy if your baby be put to sleep?? No.

For those who mentioned about dogs urinating at pillars, I've also seen kids urinating in the public. Do the parents clean up after that? No.  If dogs were to poo, we were educated to pick them up to keep the environment clean. (Can't say for all la, some of the older folks still think that dogs poo are fertilizers!)

When children misbehave, are we gonna have a forum to say why parents dunno how to teach their kids? No. Why do we expect dog owners to apologise when their dogs bark but parents never apologise when their kids are making a lot of noise? Parents can relate that as child-like but not dog-like.

Since we can tolerate children, why can't we tolerate men's best friends?

I feel that since we are all living in the same neighbourhood, we should learn to adopt a higher tolerance level to the surrounding and the people in it.

Treat others the way you want to be treated. Similiarly, if you don't want to be treated in a certain way, please refrain from treating others in that same way.

Btw, the lady with the 6 dogs could be a dog-walker. I remember seeing some leaflets of that sort. It is a common practice overseas, that dog owners hire a dog-walker to walk their dog as they may not have time to do it themselves. If so, I don't think anyone can charge her cuz I don't recall any rule abt max number of dogs a person can be walking..

Hi asdf

I understand your feelings as a dog-lover,  what we are saying here is that big dogs bite and babies don't.  No matter how loud a baby/child cries, it is never as loud as how a dog barks.  Anyway a baby does not pose as a danger to anybody compared to the many reports on dogs biting humans!!!!! I hope you understand what we are driving at here. We are just saying that big dogs should not be rared in a HDB flat, just as the rules on no cats in HDB flats too! But cats can be sterilize and therefore prevent them from meowing during their mating season. Just as big dogs can be leash and put on a muffle to prevent them from barking and running around.
