Unbelievable. It's not a "pampered" dog issue, it is a safety issue.
Sheldon is my first little dog, but I had the opposite problem with my Bullmastiff foster. He was a pup, but a BIG pup when I first took him to the dog park. He was doing just fine when I had some guy feel the need to tell me he was "too small" for the big dog side of the park (they are separated here). It pissed me off so I looked at him and told him, "This dog will be around 100lbs at maturity (he was already 26lbs at this point), and he is way too big to be in the small dog section. Mind your own business". He then proceeded to tell me that I should keep my puppy at home until his size was more appropriate. Lol...meanwhile, his two dogs were terrorizing the other dogs and he didn't get off his bench seat once. I couldn't help but roll my eyes and laugh at him. |
