I kid you not on this: I'm sitting at my desk slurping coffee and a foul smell unexpectedly arises.
A dog shat right next to my desk. No foot-prints or wheel-marks in it, but damn, I'm taking that as a pretty bad omen.
The owner of that miserable ball of cat-food-on-the-hoof cleaned up (don't even ask why the dog's here) but you can't help but knowing what was there.

Single? Yes. Cute? That is subjective, but clearly not cute enough to overlook this atrocity. In my eyes, she retains no positive attributes unless she picks up that beast and smashes it on the corner of a wall so it splits in half.

Yes, that would require considerable cuteness.

Cats are as bad: cat vomit is foul, and they tend to do it where they wake up and then run away still emitting...
That's why we have one of these: BISSELL SpotClean Portable Spot Cleaner 3698E | Bissell Direct[^] as well as a much, much, bigger model for the whole carpet. At three in the morning when the cat vomits furballs next to the bed it's a godsend.
It's worth suggesting he gets one for the office if his dog is going to be there much - it really works in cleaning the stain and getting rid of the smell.

If they can't keep quiet and settled in cafes\restaurants\cinemas, then yes. Yes we should.

Only that small little difference of actually being your offspring and therefore willing to put up life.
But why put up with that stuff with pets?
If you can compare pets to your own children, you have issues. 
If you get more out of life from your pets than your children, you also have issues.

Pets and children are very similar: they don't always do what you say, they often smell bad, they destroy things you love, they cost a fortune to raise, they can be loud and annoying, they are dependant on you for food, shelter, medical care, and help.
And pets are the same.

I don't doubt that! I have nothing against them and nothing but admiration for anyone who's a parent. Thankfully I'm blessed with two amazing nieces who are like my own daughters. ![Heart | [heart]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/love.gif)

It's property of a she. It's a hard floor: bleach and a mop will probably be applied later.
More than the mess it's having said mess deposited in my vicinity. There's a lot of other vicinity around here. Add to this that Monday, on the way into work, I ran over something which killed a tire. Looking at its current ware (big hole not withstanding) I decided it's as good a time as any to replace two of them (symmetry) - so $294 sailed away. And I'm going to need some plumbing done. Since I cannot offer the plumber my first-born, he'll probably demand money.
So - the dog's selection of me may be cosmic in nature. In a place that should be free of such droppings, they came and found me anyway. A fearful portent of some horror, known or unknown - yet to come.

Yes, I foresee that when you get home you will find that the sewer has backed up into your bathroom and the AC went out letting it get to 105F in your domicile.
Or the dog just doesn't like you.

That sentence, out of context, would make an interesting signature. Or was it a Freudian slip?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Take it as a good omen and you'll see the day will get better, if not then you still can kill the owner

Next you'll be telling me this is a metaphor for the human condition.

I worked at a "Digital Agency" for a small while and when I turned up in the morning there were dogs running around, people cycling to their desks (not to the office, to their desks). It looked like a cliché of how "young" start-ups are represented in the movies.

Hey, don't worry!
There must be at least one religion/credo that says it means good luck!
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I consider your thoughts.
The Guild of Hindu Mahouts believes that stepping in dog droppings is lucky - as it wasn't elephant droppings.
