I would argue that Seattle is the most-friendly city for pets. After all, there are more dogs (about 150,000) than children in Seattle. And if the liberals (who have destroyed a once-family-friendly city) have their way, dogs will soon be in complete control of the place. See http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/pacificnw05142006/2002974751_pacificpdogs14.html and http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2006-03-13-babybust_x.htm (which claims that Seattle has 45% more dogs than children). Ah...the idiocy and insanity of liberalism is on full display in a once-great city.
I'd say that homes WITH children are usually "better homes" for most dogs.
Problem is, the libbies replace children with their dogs. Apparently, less than 20% of households in Seattle have children. Unbelievable.
I like dogs alright, but don’t wanna eat at a restaurant that allows them there.
Hm...seems like the Washington State Legislature passed a law that actually allows dogs (and not just service dog, IIRC) in pubs (???) or something of the sort. Which shows that those idiots have nothing better to do with their time or my tax money. But, yes, I do not really like dogs in restaurants either - it is common in Europe, though.
That’s OK the childless ones are the Libs so with the Connservatives continuing to be parents we just have wait the libs out and they will be no more because they restock their ill breed.
Yep. What I am going to love is how the Democrats/Liberals spin it when they realize they are killing their own through “choice” and are going to have to reprogram their stupid followers into not doing that any more. Stay tuned...
Not surprising that Seattle’s has gone to the dogs. It’s been doggie doo for a long time.
Yep - too bad they do not realize it. I left as soon as there was the possibility I would have to put my kids into the Seattle School District.
“If dogs don’t go to heaven, when I die I want to go where they go.”—Mark Twain or Will Rogers and me, too.
I lived in Seattle for 6 years. The last two I worked in property management and I was amazed at the number of young couples who had had dogs (MAYBE a cat, if they weren’t big dog fans) instead of getting pregnant and having children.
The women either were TOO into being single all while talking a big game about wanting to meet someone.
OR those who WANTED kids had to move away as the housing costs (and relatively small size of the apartments) made it difficult to justify having children in the city itself.
The other thing a Freeper told me years ago was that the area had a high number of single mothers. Maybe not Seattle proper but the Seattle area has a LOT of single mothers and when I first got there I was still in my early-20s and that is something I am NOT going to tolerate (unless she’s a widow.)
It’s not only up in Seattle. Since the ADA was amended from Seeing Eye Dogs to Service Animal and our LEgislature went even further with an extremely liberal defintion of Service Animal, there is virtually no business that keep dogs out.
Bars, Resturaunts, bowling alleys, all the places that were made safe by banning smoking must allow dogs in as long as the one carrying it states it makes them feel better, classifying the mutt as a ‘Service Animal.’
Although the law states there must be some evidence of training to set that animal apart, most get by with a sweater on their Chihuahua with “Service Animal” embroidered on the side.
Interestingly enough, out of 500 voting precincts, exactly one (!) was for Bush in 2004. To me this shows that liberals - who apparently dominate Seattle politics (Jim McDimwit is their hero...) are innately interested only in self. Which is why they always vote for those who use government to make their constituents’ lives “better.” In other words, “It is all about me” instead of “It is all about my country.” Pathetic.
So if “if makes them feel better,” I guess it does not matter that it makes me feel worse... /sarc

-
that’s only because the dogs there were able to vote. they’re not that stupid.
I can tell this dog is going to go to school and say that its owner ate its homework.
One of our dogs overheard our discussion about this today - I think now she wants to move to Seattle. Fat chance, Peaches!
Yeah, they call them “companion” animals. The thing is, at least for housing, is that owners do not have to permit companion animals, only certified service animals.
I can’t stand these idiots who walk around with their companion animals acting like they’re disabled. I remember when I first got there and had to work at Target and some woman had this big-ass rotty mix and I tried to get her out and she claimed it was a service animal.
Legally speaking, it was not, as she had no visible disability that necessitated having a dog. If you have full use of your arms and legs and sight and hearing, there is no possible way you need a dog. The dog was barking at people and finally she left. Didn’t see her again, I don’t think but even animals that aren’t service, if you can pick them up and carry them in a bag, the owners typically don’t say anything.
