I've read a couple of stories here where something similar has happened and owners have had to stick up for their pets. Have any of you had to go through similar things?

I am behind you 100%! I have to deal with rowdy undersuspervised teens on a daily basis, and I will tell you they are BAD!!! They will do anything they think they can get away with just for a laugh and street cred with their "homies". (Not all teens, just the undersupervised ones, in my exp) The fact that blondie tried to ignore you and use her phone just shows you that she was lying. I've confronted some teens before and usually their first reaction is to apologize, whether it be sincere or not (mostly not).

I would have done the same as you. Don't feel bad. Plus points for the heads up to the cops already too. Better safe than sorry when it comes to our babies.

I don't think the parents will show up. I am sure she knows she would get in trouble if they knew the truth of what she had done. At least I hope she would have gotten in trouble, you never know these days. She probably thought she would be "funny" acting like she was going to hit your dog and then swerve at the last minute. Very NOT funny! But what if she had lost control and really hit your dog?!

Kids don't think it all the way through! They need to be called down when they cross a line and she did most definately cross the line! I might have taken it a step further and told her parents too. But she probably would not tell you who they were and it would be hard to track them down since you are on crutches. But you could ask around.

Shame on those girls and good on you for standing up to them!

I'm with you, and I'm going to ask around to find her parents. We've lived out here for 10 years and I can honestly say I don't recognize her. Either she's moved in recently or she doesn't go out much.

I will definitely keep everyone posted on any Blondie sightings near the house.

I hate hearing that this sort of thing happens all the time. Do you think talking to her even did any good? Is she going to think about the woman calling her out on her behavior and shudder with embarrassment that she was so stupid? Is she going to try to avoid my house? Does she care?

Sandysbabies · 06-14-2009, 08:30 PM

I absolutley think you did the right thing. My husband is always telling me I need to learn to stand up for my self but I also hate confortations. I would be afraid of them coming back and doing something later but there comes a time you have to take a stand and I commend you for doing that for your baby. I have 2 friends that are school teachers and they tell things that the kids do that are mind boggleing. The kids now days have no scrupples what so ever. One of my friends just had one of her kids throw a cell phone at her in class and they are not allowed to do anything to them. Ugh!!! It just makes you furious. I am so glad your baby wasn't hurt. They could have killed him so easy. Little morons.

You never know, but I think it will make a difference. Next time she tries to run over a dog, she'll probably think she doesn't want to deal with the angry owner.

I would have effed little blondie up! I have a temper though , you did a good job though in sticking up for your furbaby!

mscat · 06-14-2009, 08:38 PM

Stupid girls . I am glad you went after them. They are old enough to know better. I think handeled it great. I would of lost it on them!

happy bunny · 06-14-2009, 08:45 PM

As far as her actually listening to you.... I always think of stuff like this:
Remember the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" when Kathy Bates rams her car into that younger girls' car over and over because she stole the parking spot from Kathy and then girl smart-mouths something and then Kathy tells her "I'm older and I've got better insurance!"
Sometimes them young en's need to be put in their place!

I am 22 gonna be 23 here in a month and I SO agree. I don't know what is wrong with my generation. It's only getting worse. Like I said before, I would have effed little blondie up if I were you. There is no tolerance for that kind of ignorance.

I have three children, and granted, they are not teenagers yet, they are animal lovers! I wanted my kids to grow up with dogs, because I think dogs, or any animal, can teach kids so much, and adults. I hope my children do not become weak, like these girls, when the chance comes up to look "cool" at the expense of a helpless, inncocent animal or any other being! I'm sorry you've had to go through this.

Then you're with me... wondering how in the world did people grow to be so mean?! Hope they don't bother you again and I am sorry it happened to begin with.

Oh, ok. Yep, absolutely would have beat the blonde right out of her!

mybabe88 · 06-14-2009, 08:56 PM

U weren't wrong at all. It is actually very common that people try to run over small dogs and cats on purpose. Someone ran over and killed my boyfriend's mom's poodle on purpose with his truck. If I were you I wouldn't have even bothered talking with the children, I would have talked to the parents, and then they would know how serious you were. I hate stupid people like that.
