What's the Weirdest Question Strangers Have Asked About Your Dog?

Laughed out loud at that one Glacier. Too funny.

The one that gets me is when people say "Dogs have personalities?" Really, that is the dumbest question - of course all five of mine have personalities and they are all different. Geez.

When we were at the dog park once, this teenage girl and her Mom followed us around INSISTING that Fozzie was a baby wolf!

"That's a baby wolf isn't it!!!!"

"No... he's 3 years old. He's a Husky, Corgi mix."

"Uh-uh, I know a baby wolf when I see one, look Mom!"
"Oh yeah that's a wolf for sure. Those ain't allowed at the dog park ma'am!"

*sigh*

Another time at the dog park, me and my friends were leaving because a giant Aussie mix was repeatedly attacking Fozzie, who just cowered under benches in fear of him. The owner of the assy dog told some other lady "Corgis are stupid!" right after we walked by them. Wow... that lady got an earful for her rude comment!!! "You think so?! Personally, I think dogs who attack other dogs for no reason are stupid! Stupidest of all is their owner who doesn't leave with her aggressive dog..." Corgis are magical. Who could hate them?

I get asked if Lily is a long-haired chihuahua all the time. I've even had people tell me there's no way she's a Pomeranian, that she MUST be a mix.

People are just really rude about Brennan because he's a Pit Bull. I get stupid stuff like "Is he a mix?" or "Is he a boxer?" Or "Does he bite?" Oh, and because he wears a gentle leader, it gets mistaken for a muzzle all the time. Yeah, I'm gonna bring my nearly 60 lb dog out in a muzzle around people and children. And he's sitting there wagging his tail looking like a dork for people to pet him, so he sure looks vicious alright

"What kind of dogs are they - are they brother and sister"??? Sure - just because the Fuzzbuttz happened to be relatively the same size, I guess they must be!!!

There's a lot of funny replies to this! I had people in the petstores ask me if Layla is a wolf or part wolf.
