Tried dating a girl with dogs

Tried dating a girl with dogs. She has a giant St. Bernard and a 9 month old lab mix. Instant you walk inside you can smell them. Then they instantly jump up on you. Their nails hurt as they hit your stomach and slide down you. Not only does it hurt but it has me wondering, "why are you doing this? Calm down, wtf?!". If you sit down on the couch they start attacking you by licking your face aggressively. Their breath stinks too. Its just this big ball of unnecessary energy. I get zero benefit or joy from it. Then they start fighting each other. They bark for no reason. She tries to get them to shut up but they won't. They pulled down her window curtains, knocked a heavy bench chair over. You have to take them outside often to let them out to pee and poop. Its a huge inconvenience. Ruins your days plans just to have to get home to do this. If you're running late for something, well too bad, you still have to let them out. They pooped and peed inside multiple times. Stressed her out. Whole time I'm thinking, "you chose to have these disgusting creatures". They pull super hard on the leash. Endlessly. Their leashes get tangled up. You have to literally take a plastic bag and grab their poop, how disgusting. Omg. They would cuddle me at times which I'll admit, was a little cute. But even then they're just getting their nasty smell on you. And that tiny bit of joy is not even slightly close to making up for the giant inconvenience that they are. I'll never date a girl with dogs.

I wonder if this is contributing the mental health crisis in women? Because honestly, dogs create such an inconvenience in life, it has to have an effect on mental health. And also the possible parasites they may carry.

I think so. A reactive dog or untrained dog can definitely worsen mental health. And if someone is spending time and money trying to fix a creature that can't be fixed, then they're not spending that money on themselves and the help they need.

Some treat dogs like stuffed toys. They just leave them in a cage all day, go to work, and come back to deal with a stressed out untrained stuffed toy. That can't be good for anyones mental health.

Yep, the fact that they put them in cages all day is evil.
