The post that was quoted here has been removedI wouldn't have a dog in my house.
Earlier today, as I was driving along a quiet side road in a howling gale, I passed a man who I thought was standing aimlessly on the verge until I realised that he was waiting patiently, albeit a trifle sternly, for his Maltese poodle to do something; I didn't stick around long enough to learn what that something was, but my imagination was exercised by a thought I'd thought long buried: Why do I hate poodles so god damn much?

It's so douchy of you, Rusty. It's BORING and it makes you look like a total idiot. I can almost quote your next response before you make it. Take a break, man, what's your blood pressure, for crissakes.
Of course they are not!

There are hideously ugly things, animals and people whose very hideousness endears them to me -- but not the poodle. It must be something else.
The poodle has a shape, personality and hair style that is ugly as much annoying. Isn't it? And then there's the owners. Anyone who would own such a gross dog must be gross themselves, therefore increasing the grotesque nature of the dog upwards, in my opinion. I look at a poodle and it's owner and I want to squash both.
Originally posted by SunburntI wouldn't want to name names. But I think chameleons are ugly and cute; and the female praying mantis is not pretty viewed close up, but I find her admirable. Then there are dogs like the Staffordshire bull terrier: ugly but endearing, as long as it's not in my house.

I applaud and encourage your sentiments about poodles and their owners. Perhaps we can plumb the depths of this conundrum together. I'm still in the dark as to why I'd like to strangle a shaven poodle sporting a pink bow with my bare hands ...

Poodle haters might need to see a shrink...I don't know for sure, just saying.

Does calling me douchy make you feel better about yourself?
I believe Poodles are about the cutest little things.
I guess anyone who doesn't agree with your way of thinking is an idiot?
Think again, wake up and smell the roses. Did what ever chemicals you use for the skulls affect your way of thinking?

Watch one of the owners don't get you when you are out. Be sure not to be silly enough to tell the owner that. 😛
Originally posted by SunburntIt's impossible to have a civilised conversation without some mouth-breather butting in, isn't it? Like dog-owners who ignore the NO DOGS sign on the beach and let their parasites leave turds buried in the sand for children to play with.
