I like that, I think I'll have to make a sign just for that and hang it up proudly. :)Quote:

Notice to people who visit our home
~ Our dogs live here. You do not. ~
~ If you don’t want dog hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. ~
~ Yes, they have some disgusting habits. Humans do also. ~
~ OF COURSE they smell like dogs! ~
~ It’s their nature to sniff your crotch. Please feel free to sniff theirs in return. ~
~ We like them a lot better than we like most people. ~
~ To you they are dogs. To us they are adopted kids who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly. We have no problem with any of these things. ~
~ Dogs don't judge people by what they have and don't have. They like you or they don't. If our dogs don't like you then you probably shouldn't be in our home anyway. ~
Just thought I'd let everyone know I got a message from her today on my voice mail.
She said she was sorry for being so rude, once my friend explained to her how I was about my pets, she now understands how I must have taken her wrong.
I guess I should just be thankful she called to say sorry even though I still don't see how anyone could have taken her any other way then rude.
I'm glad you said that to them, i mean they were been stupid! Mooch has beautiful eyes, i mean would they go up to a blind person and say that....love u mooch!!
awwwww--Moochie baby--how on earth could anyone say such things about you????
You definitely did the right thing--she had no right to be there, but Mooch does.
A couple of years ago, when we had only Kito, we lived in an apartment, and rented out the spare room to a friend. This friend wasn't particuarly an animal lover, but he enjoyed the company. Well, his girlfriend came over one night, and freaked out. Kito (all 20 pounds of him) was looking at her. She was literally shreiking and backing away like he was a monster. He then started barking playfully--he was still a pup, and just wanted to make friends. I asked her to bend over and just let him sniff her hand, or pet him, and her response: "I don't touch pets. Pets are dirty." I wanted to take him in the bedroom and shut the door, but my mouth took over. I told her she had NO RIGHT in my apartment--the dog pays rent, she doesn't (we had a pet fee, lol), and to leave and never come back.
You know what? She didn't:)
I think Mooch is beautiful, and his eyes are too.
You were right!!! You go girl!!!!!
TOO late to apologise ...........
I have a friend who won't visit me unless I lock away my dogs, because she is convinced they will attack her .......... so, I visit her!
Lets not mention the 1000's of other people who ONLY visit me FOR MY DOGS!!!! :D
"She said she was sorry for being so rude, once my friend explained to her how I was about my pets, she now understands how I must have taken her wrong."
Too bad she couldn't have said something like, "I understand now how I might have been immature and rude" rather than implying that you took your pets more seriously than other people, but still we can hope she learned something from it.
That was so rude of that lady! I guess it was good of her to call and apolagize, but it sure doesn't make up for what she said!
I can't see the picture of Mooch now, but I'm sure he (or she? sorry, bad w/ gender) is a beautiful dog.

See that's how I felt about it. Even when saying sorry, she still made it seem as if I was wrong in some way. Why people just can't just say sorry without havng to put a excuse behind it. Everyone wants to say sorry But........................................ What's wrong with just saying I'm sorry. :confused:
Good for you!
It really hacks me off the way people think they can just say whatever they think with no thought as to whether they are offending or hurting someone.
My little bichon, Buddy is in the early stages of losing his sight. His eyes are starting to cloud. I believe I would show them the door just as you did. He is part of our family. This is his home and if someone can't look at him...well, no one is holding them hostage...beat it!
Mooch looks like a little angel to me- that person is the one that is truly blind.
I would have snapped. Grrrrr, I agree with a lot of you people here: Love me, love my pets! Some jerk came over once and said my rats were "slimy" and I should be kicked out of my apartment for having them! I just about lost it! Good thing John was there to stop me from skewering the guy...
Mooch is a cutie, not scary at all! Sheesh, not all animals are "perfect" little desplay pecies and thats ok! Just because they are different doesn't mean they don't need love. Look at Magoo over on the cat side, he is easily one of the favorite kitties here on PT! And a lady like that would have said he was "creepy"
Some people :rolleyes:
