It has been a lovely warm and sunny day here in the UK today so hubby and I decided to take our little Pixie for a walk.
A guy (probably in his 50's) that I have met before with his Spaniel and large overweight Retriever type dog was walking towards us, so I scooped Pixie up, as I knew from previous meetings with it that the Retriever appears to be a bit aggressive and as soon as it spots Pixie it usually comes charging towards us at full speed...and again, it did just that!
when I picked Pixie up the guy called out; "he's ok!" and said it in a way that it was obvious that me Picking Pixie up like that had annoyed him! the Retriever then proceeds to jump up at me to get to Pixie so I carry on walking while trying to keep Pixie out of its reach..I then explained that the reason I scooped her up so fast was because she's very tiny and I didn't want her flattened! and his response to that was. "oh! he's not THAT bad"!
what does he want me to do? leave Pixie all 3lbs of her on the floor while he's big lump of a dog jumps all over her??..or worse attacks her?? so inconsiderate! and very frustrating! whenever I meet this guy he acts offended when I scoop Pixie up..and to be honest, I dont care if it DOES offend him..i'm just not going to take the risk of my precious girl getting injured!..and another thing that has frustrated me recently was a woman walking her dog looked at Pixie then said; "my husband says that they look like Rats when they are wet" Is that supposed to be funny??? as if I haven't heard it all before anyway..I have owned yorkies for over 15 years..ggggrrrrr!
I didn't make a rude comment about her dog! I am getting so sick of this rudeness! whatever happened to old fashioned good manners? Everywhere I go with Pixie I seem to meet such alot of negativity?
It can get so tiresome at times
well, thats my whinge of the day over with! lol...
