Rude dog owners....aarrrrggghhhh!!! Ok, so I just have to vent. The other day I was walking Nikko, and this lady with her cocker spaniel was walking by. My Nikko is very friendly and so he started pulling towards her dog. I am always very cautious and I started pulling him away. She tells me "its ok" and brings her dog right over to mine. They start doing the doggy sniff thing and all of a sudden her dog rears on his hind legs and comes down and slaps Nikko in the face with his paw. He was about 15-20 lbs and Nikko is only 9 lbs. My baby looked stunned and instantly cowered over to me. The lady then starts laughing and tells me "I knew he was going to do that." WTF???? You know your dog was going to hurt mine and you intentionally bring him over? What is wrong with people? Thankfully Nikko was ok but what if her dog would have attacked mine severely. Would she still find it funny? Am I being overly sensitive? |
Aww that sucks! I think it was more of a dominant thing that the cocker did, it does suck that the owner thought it was so funny... I dont think you are overly sensitive at all. I would have been like WTF too!! |
:mad::eek: No, you are not being overly sensitive. If I think Ellie is going to cause a problem, she gets picked up or we walk in the other direction. |

I don't understand this lady's attitude but it seems to be happening a lot lately. Just down right mean people! I really don't like other people to let their dogs run over to mine when they're on long leashes - they don't have control of them and don't realize that it doesn't take much for them to get hurt by the other dog, even if unintentionally -- unlike this situation. But no - I don't think you're overly sensitive. A couple of weeks ago we went to the indoor flea market and bought a zapper. I wanted one that would take down a 150 pd pitbull. The guy who sold it to us was waiting for me to say a 150 pd man... and was a little surprised when I said, no... I can do that with a baseball bat - I need this for when I walk my dogs. :D |
Wow. I'm sorry that happned to you. I dont think people are aware just how fragile yorkies can be. But that was realy rude that she laughed.. I wouldnt let little Nikko around that lady anymore. Is she your neighbor? cuz that would suckk |

I'm sorry your little guy got hit! I hope the lady didn't intentionally bring her dog over knowing it would intentionally hurt yours! However, I am a teacher and I see some horrible parenting decisions with kids so who is to say that doesn't spill to their pets too:confused: Maybe that is just the way her spaniel says 'hi' and greets all new friends. Still a littlw warning would have been nice. If your little guy isn't used to rough play, I bet it did shock him... I bet Nikko was like WTF too! |
If it had happened to me I would have slapped the lady. |

Idiot....now how would she had felt if the tables were turned and it was a dog twice to three times the size of hers. "The more I'm around people, the more I love my animals." |
