Default incident :(

I was out on my balcony this afternoon with my Yorkie Suzi and Shih Tzu Miely, they always come out with me always supervised , I live on the second floor , 3 middle school to H.S. girls were walking on the sidewalk down the stairs from us, and Suzi started to Yak at them, not even a full bark, one of the girls said clearly and loudly to Suzi to "shut the F*** up!" I abnsolutely heard the girl and asked which one of you said that? One said "not me" anther stood there and said nothing, so I said it was the "little one" cause it was aparent how nervous she was, I told them "DO not tell my dog to .. .. .. ! Do not ever do that again. They walked off accross the street. Next thing I knew it A adult woman across the street starts yelling at me , telling me not to talk to her kid that way, and how did I know it was her kid, I got into a yeling match with her and told her she was a bad mom for not teaching her kid how to be respectful , once i called her a bad parent she starts walking faster, she was still accross the street though, then my son notices a police car going up to the woman, then anther one and anther.. I am thinking Geez, all this for telling a kid not to talk to my dog to ..... I just go about my buisness , and after around 10 min, or so a lady officer knocks at my door, says to my why do you think I ma here, I let her know three girls had walked by and said ..... .... and I told them to never do that again. I explained to the officer these are not regular pets they are service dogs. the officer was really cool about it, and of course that was not the sory she heard from the mother, and said the mother was not there , it was me and the kids, and I explained to the officer i am normally not that assertive , and would never "tell kids off" or threatend a child. I use to be a teacher. And would not do something like that. It was not like my dogs ran after the girls , or I ran after them , nothing ever occured but me teeling them not to cuss at my dog , Suzi. I went ona little about how kids are so disrespectful these days, and the cop agreed . She gave simple advice to me like just go tell the manager, but the kids do not live in the same apts.
I did yell at the kids and did repeat what they said, by telling them NOT tell my dog to shut the F- up
The whole incident was pretty ridiculous in my opinion. the parent acting like i threatened her kid, which I did not, and calling the poice? Nobnody has ever talked to my dog like that , and it was my instant reaction to say something to them. I live in a rural town and sometimes it seems like the police have nothing better to do, 3 cop cars? Well I felt the lady officer understood and was very nice about it , It was totally unessesary for this parent to over react the way she did , but at least the officer agreeed that my dogs ere like my children. Their is alot of kids in this area that are so rude and have little common sense.

I don't think you did anything wrong and wow the women over reacted but the kids probably lied to her more then likely.

I agree people are disrespectful and rude these days not only kids. The officers may be bored, but I would have to wonder what she told them. She probably said you threatened to do bodily harm, that way all officers would respond. Her behavior explains her childs. I am sorry you had to go through this.

So, the Mom called the police on you, instead of marching her daughter over to your place to apologize properly???

That makes me feel sorry for the girl. She's already got a strike against her in the game of life based on the luck of the draw of who she was born too.

this reminds me of why education is in trouble, so many (of course not all) parents don't seem to want to accept that their darling child might be doing something wrong, they allow no one to try to tell their child what is the right thing to do and heaven forbid discipline them even a little. When I was in school in the 60's and 70's the teachers words were not questioned by the parents, now a days teachers are on pins and needles in fear that they will say or do something that will get them in trouble. Why would that woman not walk across the street to find out what was going on is beyond me but she probably uses the same words as her daughter

Yes some people are so rude. That mother should have gotten at those girls for their bad language. Unfortunatley the girl probably picked up the foul language from home. I feel so sorry for teachers today. They can't discipline students and some young people are outrageous and they have outrageous parents. It's best to be careful and ignore some things. Those girls or the mother could have had a weapon.

This is a real big reason of why I don't think I want kids... not because *my* kids would be like that, but because there are so many out there. Parents can only teach so much before they start learning from their peers.

you guys are the greatest , thank you so much for your advice and support. This is the first time ever someone said something like this to my baby Suzi, I was totally taken back, and I know I used my "angry voice" towards them, i was right outside my door up the stairs, no where near them, for them to feel like i would harm them. It shocked me, and made me upset that a a teen would say somehting like that, the cop was so cool though and did say that my dogs were my kids , that felt good, at least she understood that people who own dogs love them very very much. It was blown out of porportion though, and the kids probably told mom I threatend them , even though i never did or would of. I am not like that, i use to teach kids, and have lots of neices and nephews, and a autistic son . They acted like I chased them down or something, or my dogs went after them, never happened , never would happen unless they hurt my dogs I would of . Suzi did not even use her "mad" bark , just a little Arf arf. It scared my son though he kept looking at the window, and I was not sure what they were telling the officers, and it was completly different from what really occured, but the lady cop just said the mom was not there, so she really was not credible. i love my babies so much (dogs) and this was the first time I had to stand up for them when they can't talk. The cop was realy kind and I told her they are my service dogs, not only my pets but my best friends.

If that were my mother, she'd be running across the street to tan my hide! LOL. If I said the 'f' word and was a teenager I'd be in BIG trouble! Heck, I accidently say the word 'sh*t' around my Mom now and I'm 28 and still get a talkin' to! LOL! I think that mother overreacted. You in no way threatened her child. She sounds like a drama Momma! And those kids need to learn some respect!!!! I'm glad the cop was cool too. I would of done the same thing you did too. Katie Scarlett is like my child, she is more than a pet. If anyone says anything bad to her or about her to me, I lay into them. I am very defensive when it comes to her. They won't be disrespecting my baby (or myself) and me not saying anything.

Having 2 teenage children myself, I would NEVER yell at you or call the police for you correcting my children...I would simply whip their rears and ground them! Of course, I would like to think I have also taught my children more respect and manners than to say anything rude and disrepectful to anyone (pet or human)...It all goes back to the parenting!! You did nothing wrong!!

OMGosh! The nerve of some people's children and their potty-mouthed offspring! What a shame that little potty-mouthed girl was not intelligent enough to know that when dogs speak, the words do not always come out sounding exactly like English.

I wonder if Suzi spoke up because she recognized that girl for what she was? She may have been pointing it out to you.

My last Shep/Lab would always bark with a certain driver for UPS was anywhere near the house...even driving by, and Ziggy only actually saw him once. He didn't bark hardly at all, and only at that one driver...all the other UPS, FedEx, Airborne, and DHL drivers were fine, but Ziggy had an immediate and definite distaste for the one guy.

They know...!

Not always, I have a pre-teen young man, that I have made my number one priority, his only goal is to make mom happy. You get what you put into them. I have always been his number one fan, always have time to talk about whatever he wants to discuss no matter how trivial it may seem. He comes to me first with girl questions, bad information from friends, he needs any answer he knows he will can get it from me. He trusts and believes me and I try to always lead by example, especially in my demeanor.

That being said, it is a full-time job, and I only have one! They require your undivided attention, otherwise, yes they seek out their peers and any frivolous activity. It is my responsibility to mold this person, it would be the equivalent of not interacting with your dog until the end of the day, and after it had been around all sorts of other dogs and people (bad examples), you would be left with something more like them instead of something more like yourself.

I hate to compare children with pets, but it really just comes down to quality time invested.
