Again, so many people out there are completely tackless when it comes to talking about dogs and realizing (like you said) that they are like children to many of us. You should have turned to him and said, omg I forgot to ask, which RugRat out on the field it yours? Ha! That's just the smartass in me kickin in. (believe me, I mean no snide comment towards children, I love all children, I was a 3rd & 4th grade teacher for 10 years) so please don't take that comment the wrong way. |
I agree with your point, he may ignorant to the breed of dog it was but "MUTT!!"...Now I understand had he said "what type of DOG?" but I think we ALL know what mutt means!!. It's a demeaning phrase !!
