So Frustrated!

[Maxi]

Today is a great sunny day so me and my boyfriend took Maxi for a walk. We have nice open area by the church near our development and its all grass. We were enjoying our laps when all of a sudden I see this lady walking with four dogs with no leash! two cocker spaniels and two others couldnt make what kind of breed it was. I see one spaniel running towards us and she of course couldnt call the dog back so I picked up my baby. My boyfriend went over to her and said you have to put a leash on your dogs. She tried to ignore him! So he raised his voice on her and repeated himself and she said I know I know and put a leash only on one dog! He asked her if she lives here and she said yes. I really doubt that thou because I have never seen her around. Then one spaniel started running another way and she hit the dog with the leash! At this point even if I said to her dont hit your dog she would just ignore me because she seems like a complete retard! I wanted to hit her with a leash! I was so mad! Our walk was ruined and I rushed home to call our security of our community to complain about hitting the dog and no leash. I left him detailed message so I hope he is over there now. What an ignorance! There are kids playing there too!

How frustrating!!! I'm sorry your walk was ruined. It seems like evereybody is having experiences with dogs being off their leash and the owners don't even care!

That's terrible. Sad she has 4 and can't control them without hitting. Sorry your day was runied.

I have a HUGE pet pev about people letting their dogs run free so I have to pick my babies up even though they are leashed just so mine are safe!

Most people brush this off like...Oh no worries my dog is friendly! Mean while I am struggling with two wiggle worms trying to get down!!!! Down even get me started on the whole deal with Sadie being a puppy and every few steps she hits the deck (Duckes and refuses to walk) And when I finally get her going for a stretch we need to deal with the huge unleashed dog so my babies both get picked up! GRRRRR!

Oh I know guys, I am still so pissed and it was a few hours ago when we went for a walk. It just seemed like it was all the things that can aggravate you all at once. No leash, hitting the dog I still feel like crying, and ignorance! I think I jinxed myself because not that long ago I was saying its not that bad where I live. Oh yeah I love it when people say oh my dog is friendly but meanwhile you see that their dog is not happy to see yours. When I see big dogs I pick my baby up right away. When I see little doggies I usually look at them if they are really happy and friendly then I let my baby go and say hello.

I hope our security already went there but I will find the animal control phone number just in case. For that lady's sake I hope she wont come back there again with dogs without their leashes. Our development has strick rules , if you dont pick up after your dog and your dog is off the leash you pay $200 fine per incident.

Sorry you had to go through this. A perfect example of why we have a leash law. Things can happen so fast and preventing it is the right way. Everyone says that "he/she doesn't bite" and I just laugh and say "well, if he/she has teeth they do"!

That's a good one! I will be saying that next time someone tells me their dog is friendly when you can see that he/she is not.

I'm sorry that a nice time out was ruined by someone so rude. I too, have a HUGE pet peeve about people letting their dogs run free and hitting them!!!! That's no way to correct your dog... She was totally in the wrong.
