That is SO annoying. It also annoys me that people equate dogs at a dog park should be all loving towards kids. Sorry, but it's a DOG park... if we were to take our dogs to a KID park and just let them loose and let them jump on kids, etc, I think parents would throw a fit.
I honestly don't mind kids being physically IN the dog park. I have seen some well behaved kids who simply sit on a bench and play a game or read a book while the parents watch the dogs run around.
I understand parents having to compromise- I would rather the dogs get exercise needed, then stay at home, so I get that sometimes parents are going to have to bring kids .... just like with me, when I go to the local park with my 6 year old sister, she wants to play, and Jackson wants to play- so I usually sit on a bench with my well behaved on a leash while she plays on the playground, and when it's his turn, she sits on the bench while he plays with 'his' friends.
But I cannot stand the parents who seem to think they are above everyone else and just let their kids run rampant. |
