Yelling about dogs on the internet

Sadly, I have let myself get a few pounds heavier than I prefer in the last couple of months, and am therefore decreasing fatty food and increasing ride time. Although I do get birthday cake this weekend, dammit. Still, here I am, pedaling hard and trying to keep a sustained, raised heartrate and cadence, which hurts, so I think I'll vent a bit of people-are-stupid-about-dogs rage to take my mind off of it. I've been meaning to bitch about all three of these things for awhile, so here you have them, all at once. Feel free to ignore long, vitriolic ranting under the cut.
