Parents, Please teach your kids to respect last night I took Recon for our usual walk. We walk to the gas station about 2 miles from here and get him a beef stick and me a water. He eats it and I drink and then we walk home. The walk there is mostly downhill. Well last night we are almost to the bottom of the hill when 2 kids (13 or 14-ish) come flying down the hill on skateboards. They thought that they were going to pass me and Recon on the sidewalk while still on thier skate boards. Recon had other ideas. It scared the hell outta Recon and he lunged toward the first kids skate board and got it. Left some big ol teeth marks in it. The second kid was so scared he fell off his. Now I should feel bad but I dont. That was plain rude. The kids then took off and when I got to the gas station they were in there. I know the attendants at the gas station really well. I went in and walked up to the kids at the counter and said " sorry that my dog scared you but you guys cant do that to dogs. your skate boards noise scares them and if you do it to the wrong dog, one is really going to hurt you. just be careful"
Then the one younger looking one looks at me and says. "F-you, you need to shut up. I dont give a F about your dog. Next time Ill hit him"
So I got a good look at both of them and talked to the cop who pulled into the parking lot as they were leaving. On my walk home I saw that the cop had stoped then and talked to the kids.
So please, teach your kids respect. That was crap. I did nothing wrong. I walk the same sidewalk every single night and never have had a problem. |
