Well she obviously is the one that doesnt have control of her dog, and oblivious to her dog behavior.. so uh well uh who is the better owner Bre???? lol![]()
I'm sorry you had to go through this,I was in Pet Smarts close to a month ago,I dont know if there the same everywhere,They have bins as soon as you walk in for like $2 and up to $10.
Anyways i was routing through them too see if there was anything good,I had Lacy in the cart(She loves it),With daddy's help offcourse.
Anyways she was sitting there like a little lady,This Big Ol English SheepDog,jumped on our cart.The cart slammed into my ribs.
Poor lacy started screaming she is terrified,And the lady started laughing.
I was so upset it took my lacy alot of courage to even go in the store,She was crying the rest of the time in there,I'm sorry but people should control there dogs.
This is why I like animals more than people.
I could not agree more! Good for you for standing up to her.Originally Posted by Freedom

You did good telling her off but still being kind about it. It astounds me how ignorant people are these days, she should have been apologizing profusely after her dog jumped on yours. But so many people aren't willing to take responsibility for their own or their pets actions these days. It's very sad.

What a jerk.She was in wrong.She had no right to tell you your too young to own a dog.She was probably embarrassed and jealous that your dog was more beautiful and better behaved then her's.She needed to be put in her place.

Flatcoat, I know that rant made you feel better. I think you handled the situation quite nicely. Unfortunately, not all dog owners are capable of evaluating their own dogs' behaviors and will always make excuses. Try to not let it bother you, you obviously know more about dogs than she does, just be proud of that fact.
If we lived in a whole seperate city together we wouldn't be effective in getting rid of ignorant people. The only way we can do that is to educate them.Originally Posted by Flatcoatluver
To educate the ignorant we have to be able to meet them and talk to them in everyday real life situations! No matter how frustrating it gets; its the responsibility the majority of us have accepted due to our love for animals.
We each do what we can in our own small way. We may never know in our lifetimes just how much of a difference we've made for pets in general, but at least we'll have the satisfaction of knowing we've tried our doggondest!![]()
To train a dog you have to think like a dog!
Sometimes I'm astounded how idiotic people can be. I mean, surely these people were educated in some way in their life? Evidently not, it seems.![]()
Good job that she came across a mature person like you, Bre, who can give her a rollicking! And I hope that Zoey was OK after the ordeal.
Like when I get asked If they ever come in the house or use a stable.. I would like to hit them.. lol..
