Also, last week at Petsmart I was holding her in my arms and some lady just came and took her out of my arms...I'm not kidding.
Now it's not always that bad and I used to like all the attention of having a cute dog but now it's annoying and I don't want people to touch her OR pick her up, I just don't.
I'm sure many of you have had this same experience, as we all have such adorable babies, so I want to know...how do you tell people to quit touching your dog?!?
I need a polite way of saying "Don't touch my #$@@*^@ dog!!!!" |
WOW I cant tell you how long I have been fighting this fight. I don't mind when people ask "can I pet your dog, I generally say yes unless I notice there hands being unusally dirty (bums-yes that has happened to us before). But when someone tries to pick her up or pet her or reach for her when I am holding her....I am a little rude...and I will tell you why....My dogs are like my children...you wouldn't reach for a newborn child and you certainly shouldn't do it to someones dog. I am also rude because if you don't have the common sense to ask then you are rude and I am going to treat you how you are acting....or you can just tell them she has rabies..that usually works too...hehe...
