We cant expect others to have the same moral values |
Well, this is true. IF I take one of mine with me somewhere, I always say that she is not feeling well or something. With Maddie (the one I usually take with me everywhere) it's easy, because she doesn't like strangers. The other day I had her with me and this lady stopped to pet her...and when she bent down and reached out, Maddie backed away quickly and hid behind me. Then the lady tried again (idiot) and Maddie growled. I think she finally got the picture...lol There ARE some people she accepts right away and loves...but that's how I always tell who the bad people are...my Maddie protects me...=)
