okay. i have one dog who is scared of the world, and another dog who is SOMETIMES defensive when approached by dogs. i am a bad mom, i admit it....HOWEVER, people who let their dogs run free even though MINE are potentially the actual problem piss me off.
i was just out walking. i took angus first, and we walked UP TO A MAN, WITHOUT HIM BARKING, AND I STOOD TALKING TO HIM FOR A WHILE WITHOUT ANY NOISE. he tried to pet angus, and i asked him not to, but i was proud of my little guy anyway for not making noise and a scene. THEN, i take out cody. we are walking the route me and ang took backwards cuz he pooped and i needed to pick it up....WELL, this woman lets her little boxer run right out the door, and where does she head, right for cody. the first thing out of her mouth was she's nice...and the first out of mine was, that's great but sometimes he gets defensive when approached by an offleash dog. mine on leash and hers offleash can make fora nasty fight. so she stands 15 feet away, calling this dog every 1/2 second, to which the dog has no response. then she comes over to get the dog, while looking scared of cody, and scared of a fight to break up. then takes the dog by the collar, gives me this look like I HAVE NO RIGHT TO WALK A DOG THERE, AND IM THE BAD ONE BECAUSE I SAID MY DOG DOESN'T LIKE TO BE APPROACHED BY OFFLEASH DOGS ALL THE TIME, AND SLAMS HER DOOR.
so now im pissed. if MY DOG IS ONLEASH, why does she have the right to get mad at me? i am being the responsible owner, and no doubt, if the dogs fought, i would have been the one in the middle pulling them apart, and i would have been the one to get yelled at. i hate that.
anyway....afte r i brought cody in, i walked over to her unit and knocked on the door to say i'm sorry, and blah blah blah, and she didn't answer. so i wrote her a note, photo copied it lol, stuck it in her door, knocked on her door, and came home.
IM JUST SO ANNOYED WITH THAT THOUGH! WHY DOES NO ONE THINK THEIR DOGS SHOULD BE ON LEASH? IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE CONTROL OF THESE SITUATIONS. i think it would be great to let cody go and let him run around like a 'tard....BUT WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS?
jsut a little rant about stupid people.
k, thanks lol
