I am amazed that the amount of people with small children that just let them walk up to a large dog to pet it without asking if it is OK. My dad and boyfriend are out golfing right now and I have my dads rottie Xander here with me, so I thought since we have an eventful evening planned I would get my run in now. I take Recon and Xander and put them on the coupler (thing that makes 1 leash into 2) and go for my run. SInce I am used to running in the early AM and late PM the heat was affecting me so I stoped at the gas station for some water for myself and the dogs. As I hook them up and go in, there is a lady with 2 little kids. I would say they were maybe 2 and 4 years old, and she starts walking up to my dogs. Well, I hook the dogs up on the side of the gas station where not everyone can walk past them because Recon is not good with little kids. I paid for my water and walk out and head back to the dogs, just as this lady is getting close with her kids. The one kid lets out a screach and Recon just about jumps out of his skin, hes trembling. The kid starts running towards the dogs as Recon is now showing his teeth. And do you think that woman does anything?? SO I right away step between the dogs and the kid and the kid KICKS ME IN THE SHIN!!!!!!! YELLS "ME PET DOGGY NOW!!!!!"
I look at her and I am now more concerned with my dogs then her kid, then say, Do you not have any f-ing commmon sense?? and she looks at me as if i am from another planet. Then says, all she wants to do is pet the doggie.

DUH, THE DOG IS ABOUT READY TO RIP YOUR KID IN TWO LADY!!!!!!!

So I (haha) nicely tell her to take a walk. And she then calls me a B**** as she is walking away and says all she wanted to do was pet the dog.

GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
