Apparently Kirk Herbstreit and his dog Peter got to Cincinnati last night and Kirk decided to play fetch in the hotel hallway. For the most part, people online are reacting like this guy:

What do you all think? I love dogs, but if I were trying to sleep and someone was playing fetch in the hallway of my hotel I'd be pissed.

Sometimes social media does help us identify how truly shitty some folks are. 

O$U gonna O$U though.

Tread lightly when you condemn any activity involving a Golden. That said, I responded to Herbstreit on X last year, as he was denigrating IU, that he wasn’t worthy of having Goldens in his life. He blocked me. He’s a putz.


Can anyone here play this game?

Oh, to be sure, it ain’t the dogs fault

I voted No based on your posing of the question and before I saw the context.

"Is playing fetch in a hotel lobby douchey and selfish?"

If men were any more stupid, we would have breed for the extinction of women. Proof yet again that WE are the best thing they have going for them.

Might as well post this here.  We will be visiting these dogs Monday with the intention of adopting one.  Most of them are 6 or more years old and have had almost no human contact.  Many problems. We got the time and at least my stoker has the patience.

Or, you know, take him outside where he can play fetch and both 1) get his exercise in and 2) not disturb other people.

It's not like he couldn't do the exact same thing in a patch of grass out front.

 

 

Also, this was posted on a friends facebook feed a few weeks ago and thought it deserved to be spread.

@squeakyclean Yeah I was thinking of my dog who would immediately take off. But Peter is better trained.

Almost all Love's Truck Stops have dog parks now. It has made us Love's loyalists. Even if we don't have our dogs with us, we stop at Love's. It really makes travelling with dogs so much better.

We named him Barkley.  

Barkley came to the rescue shelter in June with 160 other dogs in the video.  He’s believed to be 4 years old.  Lived in a crate, in horrible conditions, with close to no human contact.  The little human contact he did have was without any affection or attachment.  When he was rescued and came to the shelter, he snarled and snapped at any human effort to even touch him.  He wasn’t even groomed or bathed for several days.

In August he was neutered and had to have 7 teeth removed. He remained very distrustful of humans, but got along with other dogs. A few weeks ago he became ready for adoption into his forever home.  Along came my stoker and I.  When we first met Barkley, he showed a curiosity toward us that broke down all the barriers.  He still doesn’t like to be handled, but is getting better.  He startles very easily at loud noise and sudden movement.  He will take treats from our hands. 

After  being through the grinder of 50 years of law practice, the various ups and downs of two kids becoming productive adults, and the adventures of 60 years of marriage, welcoming a rescue dog is a new and unique experience.  Not just any rescue dog, but one that spent the first third of his life in horrible conditions.  This new meaning for my life is not world changing, but it is remarkably gratifying watching Barkley starting to enjoy his life.  Barkley, and us, have a way to go, but we made fast start out of the starting gate.
