I don't know where these people get off thinking they can just comment like that...like you, i get so angry and end up not enjoying my walk at all and wanting to get myself and my baby back into the safety and comfort of our own home! I very often stick to routes where i know i won't see too many people..which is sad i know but i just want to walk my baby in peace and enjoy it...so i can totally sympathise with you on this one..  |
Goodness, if I was still together with my ex-bf.. He would probably hunt them down LOL.. We do not hear the name RAT here, maybe because there ARE rats running around in the neighborhood (this is a 3rd world country after all) and they know the difference.. But MONKEY I have heard.. Mocha gets the worse names.. they say she looks like a mongrel.. 1st of all, I do not like that name.. It sounds like a curse word for a dog. I do not have any problems with mongrels, I have had them before as pets. But they said it in such insulting tones
Just because they are uneducated about dogs, and ignorant about them, does it give them allowances to call Mocha names? Jeebus cripes.
What makes me so angry and upset today is because the boy said it about Lulu. It was obvious that he just wanted to be mean, because how on earth can you think Lulu is malnourished. Look at her coat.. Look at her smiling on her walks.. Look at her walking so briskly during walks.. I don't think a malnourished dogs will enjoy life quite so much.
Thank you for your sympathy girl. I do too look for routes where there are not so many people around, but it's hard because of the time of the day I bring them out to walk. At 5 PM, the sun is JUST nice for a walk. Any other time will be too hot.
