Aggressive Dog Breeds banned from Padres' "Dog Days of Summer"

GUS!!

Partly because of STL’s relationship with Purina…partly because LaRussa is a big tree hugging animal lover. I find it super annoying too.

Dog people don’t get that other people don’t want to have a dog jump up on them, lick them or put their wet nose near them.

I think the people that want to bring their dog to the game are the annoying Paris Hilton types..where a dog is an accessory. That, or maybe it’s some dudes who rent a cute dog for the day so they can pickup a hot surfer girl.

Either way..count me as a traditionalist….go to the game to watch the game..not for anything else.

Maybe we can find a dog show and see if they’ll let us bring equipment to play OTL during the show.

Crazy idea?!?

SACRILAGE!

Why can’t I take my chickens?

What about all those people whose goldfish are considered “members” of the family?

Iguanas have rights too!

I don’t own a dog and don’t really have any interest in ever owning a dog

…so who gives a crap if they’re socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, it still doesn’t change the fact that Jbox doesn’t own a car

Air Bud Seventh inning Fetch!

They slobber, they shed, they’re loud at the most inappropriate times, and they’re always up in your business, and quite possibly your grill. Calling it a “member of your family” is inane to the intelligent and quite worrying to the very literal. Keep them out of the baseball parks, dog parks exist for a reason.

I would never bring Rikkie to something like this. He gets all nervous around new people and barks a lot. Rachel, however, I totally would, as long as it wasn’t too hot. She’d love it. As long as people know how they’re dog would act in this kind of situation and react to it, I think it’s fine.

Which is why I would not get a beach seat for that game. Come to think of it, I wouldn’t get a beach seat ever because yeah, far away!

If I were a dog owner I’d be hesitant because of your point – my dog plus everyone else’s = mass hysteria.

however, i would never bring a dog to the game. just like i don’t own a dog because i don’t have a yard and live in a tiny apt. there are times for dogs. and times for not. FOR ME (not passing judgement here) i would never bring my dog to the game because i’d rather be playing fetch with my dog, not trying to silence them and keep them still so as not to disturb others.

dogs are meant to play and run around. not sit still and watch me play baseball. i have a hard enough time keeping dates or my nephews still at a game. much less a dog.

but this ain’t peanutbutter and chocolate!

I couldn’t imagine brining my dog to the game and having any kind of fun what so ever. It’s not a dog park, you can’t take them off leash to play fetch they won’t want to sit and watch baseball for several hours in the sun and lets face it, it’s torture to have your dog sit there and watch 40K people eating hot dogs, popcorn and Randy Jones BBQ.

or I’m f*cking SUING (though I love dogs and am allergic to cats).

It’s the only corporate office I’ve ever been to with a nice, thin coating of dog and cat hair all over the carpets. I even asked a receptionist there if they’ve ever had anyone who has allergies to pets work ther, and apparentlky they haven’t.

Which is good, because that’s a discrimination lawsuit waiting to happen…

Also, they let you walk around the field before the game. That alone makes it worth the small hassle. The dogs stay in the bleachers and park at the park where they don’t seem to bother anyone. Sucks for the people with large breed dogs. They totally need to just publish the list.
