You don't have the responsibility and patience for a dog.

it's believable. walking puts others into contact with other dog owners or people in general. had to put my mask on because someone was on the opposite side of the street.

cant trust if the other person has gone into contact with other people etc.

Actually just got back from that. So far the information sucks. Not to say your wrong. More so that they aren't telling me why. In the back of mind mind it always made sense tho. They literally put their face on everything as they walk.

But seeing as no reason is givin, Im gonna continue to use my best judgement. I live in Michigan, so walks aren't a regular thing in the weather coming up anyway. I also walk him in the middle of the night 75% of the time, which could of been what saved my ass all summer. No one is around anyway.

I bet the number is driven up in places like NY and California. As to where I'm in Michigan where I'm never passing or walking by where big groups are or were. I'm always conscious of social distancing.

This actually just makes me feel ahead of the game for already taking all the precautions while walking my dog >_>.

My dog, who went for two walks a day, died six years ago at the age of twelve. That's 84 in dog years.

The only dog in my life now is my sister's dog and he's a big wimp when it comes to walks. (Or anything else.)

He did go to my sisters and play with the kids. But now, I don't know. The shitty thing is when I try to play with him here, he plays for like 5 minutes and then just comes and lays against me like he's over it. So it's not even a matter of me just getting off my ass. Not like I have a huge house. Just a longish living room to run from one end to the one and play tug o war.v

I bring my mac 10 on every walk. But yeah, I'm not wearing a mask when I'm outside and can easily stay 12+ feet away from everyone at all times. I get what you mean for crowded cities tho.

Please don't blame my dog. That's me that doesn't bathe.

They don't want to speculate on that yet, it seems. Not in my brief research at least. I hope it's the former. Way easier to work around.

If you're walking around without a mask on, putting it on and taking it off repeatedly kinda reduces the entire protective barrier and your hands then expose the mask to germs as well as get exposed to whatever ended up on it.

Most cats don't like to go for walks tho

I'm also worried about scratching

Fur everywhere

Cats smell too

Cats climb everywhere

Cats are still in the running tho

Do you think its because of the mere fact that people are, in pure numbers, outdoors longer and thus more likely to encounter someone with covid, or is it because dogs will likely touch all kinds of surfaces that might contain covid and then spread the virus to their owners eventually


I would guess the former but no clue

Before you get a small dog, you should play a sound of a dog barking on your phone for 3 hours and see if it's something you can get use to.

Protesting is fine tho.

As for cats, so long as you aren't a lazy fuck and clean the litter box regularly it's not an issue.
