    a small Rant , since only PTers will understand



    In the past 2 weeks, with the flu I have still had visitors to see the foster kids.

    Now they are here to meet their new dog with high hopes, it is my job to screen them and get a "feel" for them before a home visit is made.
    No Problem.
    I have however in the past 2 weeks dealt with some comments that make me wonder how some people have survived this long, without killing themselves in a Darwin award type manner.

    One gentleman who accompanied his grown daughter and son in law, after seeing the dogs, promptly explained to his family that teaching them will be difficult , as this breed will explode their brain if they learn too much as their skulls are too small to fit a large brain.

    Another gentleman patiently explained to me that allowing my cat to sleep on my sons will result in the kids getting worms.

    A very nice lady asked me what I do with all the money I get from adoption fees.( I get none, it goes to the rescue) As my walls could use painting!

    A teenage girl who was with her mom, asked me, quite calmly if she was to open the birds cage would the cats eat them? She saw that once and it was cool.

    I had a very nice lady ask me if she is approved can she sell the dog to a friend who wants a guard dog............................


    Nothing personal, but none of these people passed. Oh and I didn't mention the one that said the dog won't fit as he was hoping it would kill the cats in his garden, so mine aren't what he was looking for.

    Ok rant done and I think I am taking a week off from people

    It amazes me that some people know NOTHING about animals, and then consider having one.

    Like the guy who hollered at me cause I didn't pick up after my dog. I informed him that SHE was having a pee, not a poop. And if he knew anything about female dogs that he'd be able to differentiate the posture. Good grief!

    O my goodness! Nope they would never pass as a buying if I was trying to find animals some good homes...that is a time when in your head you feel like rotating your finger by your head as if to say..'psycho' lol. I'm glad they said those things then though, it made it so you didn't give them to a most likely bad home. Thanks for always waiting for the perfect knowledgeable owners!

    Dr. Goodnow would you mind if we added some of our own experiences with stupid pet owners in this thread?

    Wow...some social life she has

    I mean, I've heard people ask how people can be so brainy, but I want to know how people can be so IGNORANT?! Is there a guide book on the market somewhere they're all reading?

    So sorry you have to put up with such losers.

    The fact that she was creepy didn't bug me, I have raised teens and been one myself they are all creepy LOL! what blew me away was her MOTHER'S total indifference to the comment..............No "OMG that's awful where would you see that?" Not even a "Jane(not the real name) that's an awful thing to say!" the Mom just smiled and continued talking to me

    Wow, if it wasn't for you guys telling us these stories, I wouldn't have believed people could be this stupid.
    I admit I laughed out loud at some of these, but these people are pathetic.
