Miserable,bad-Tempered Dog Owners.

[pastafreak]

I was in the park earlier with Sally and a few friends and their dog. The dogs were doing what dogs do...mooching about,sniffing,trotting up to new dogs. Sally saw a new dog,and sauntered over to it. I'd seen this woman a bit earlier...taking pictures,and her dog was off lead all the time. Next thing I knew,the owner was pushing Sally away. I laughingly called over...'she just wants to say hello'...to which I got 'that's your opinion'. (what??) I thought maybe the dog was in heat...and called out,asking if they had a problem. The woman made a talking motion with her hands while mouthing 'blah,blah,blah'...then shouted at me to go back to the US.......:O
Apparently she then got aggressive with some other walkers and their Newfies...who chased her and her dog out of the park. I feel sorry for any dog not allowed to socialise with others...and saddled with such a miserable owner.

Poor dog, imagine having to live with a bitch like that,

Report her for being racist.

I think that some people spend way too much time and energy being angry. In her case the dog will pick up on her mood and might become just as bad natured itself.

How are your other babies?

Know where you're coming from pasta, our Dogs don't go to other people at all unless we ALL know each other, but we still get moaned by strangers whose dogs totally ignore them and come to see us to "Get your damn dogs away from ours!"
I can only assume it's 'cause they're big and black, our dogs I mean, not the yelling owners.

The womans dog looked fine and normal...wonder how long he will stay that way. Another human who should not have pets...

My babies are doing fine. I've sacrificed my favourite chair to Amber...or we share it.....and sometimes Caspar joins-sitting on the arm of the chair. Big progress that! ;-) They still have hissy fits... Caspar will eat next to her...then chase her up the stairs-shouting.

I wondered if she thought that Sally...a speedy lurcher...was going to chase her little darling...god forbid! Most doggies love it.

Noodles, is it a long climb down from your Soapbox?

[pastafreak]

'chased out ' was a bit OTT...but how someone else described it. I would imagine it was not aggressive...maybe just boistous Newfies...who were on lead.

[pastafreak]

As for her dogs being defleaed,etc....I did ask if there was a problem...nicely...as at that point I thought there may be something I was not aware of. But...her dog WAS offlead...

[pastafreak]

Errr...I never said my friends chased this person.

Just remember Pasta, "You Don't Wanna Do It Like That!"

This reminds me of the time my dog (not the one I have now) ran playfully up to another dog who was also off lead. They sniffed noses and wagged tails as they do and then the owner suddenly chased my dog away, took out a tissue and proceeded to wipe his dog's face where my dog had been sniffing. I didn't say anything because I was a bit gobsmacked to be honest, but I often think of that poor dog who wasn't allowed to play with his own kind. There are some funny folk out there pasta !

Don't know what brought it to mind, but I keep thinking of this for some reason!
