| I didn't even get a thank you! I was playing outside with my husband, son, and Lexi when I could hear across the field behind our backyard a guy yelling for his dog that was loose (a Chihuahua). I know it's a Chihuahua because this is not the first time I have seen him looking for his dog. Anyway, it started to rain so we went in. A few minutes later I go outside our front yard to take Lexi to go potty and I see a little Chihuahua running in the street. I of course want to get him so nothing happens to the poor little thing. I grab a squeaky toy and treats, but he wants nothing to do with me getting close to him. So I try to at least get him to go towards the field. He went towards the field and I yelled to the guy that his dog is over here crossing the field and he finally got the dog to go to him. The guy just turns around and walks away, not even a thank you for trying to help him get his dog (in the rain). If someone tried to help me get Lexi if she got out I would be so thankful to them! Anyway, just annoyed me.... rant over! |

| Wow! I can hardly believe the lack of "thank you's" I don't hear these days in society in general. When did people become so crude and rude? After staying out there in the rain and caring about his dog enough to get the little thing safely out of the street and helping him ultimately get that baby back in his arms, he just turns and walks off without as much as a word, wave or nod to his dog's savior. Ungrateful, thoughtless and ill-mannered slob!!! Well, as a doglover, I'll thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without you, that little Chi could have kept running in that street until who knows what could have happened - lost forever, stolen, attacked by a big dog or run over. So, thank you very much for caring about saving a little dog on the run.

| Thanks everyone. And even though that guy was an ungrateful you-know-what, I would still do it again. |

| How about a dog running along the side of your house and into your garage during a major snow storm. I had just gotten home from work and opened the garage door - in he ran, right into the house. Jumping on furniture with slush and mud all over. I couldn't get close enough to grab his township tag. He charged around like a crazy dog, scaring my dog to pieces. I called animal control and the township police hoping some one knew him. It turned out he was a puggle and his owner lived over a mile away. This was not the first time he got out. During this storm and on a busy street he could have been road-kill. The owner was finally located and came to my front door with one of those flexi leashes. I suggested he try and regular leash - but got no response. He just took his dog and walked away. Not a word of thanks. That dog was running all over my house for three hours. Responded to nothing. I am a true believer that there are some people who should not be dog owners. |

Holy moly, I would be livid!! The nerve of some people. Well, if we're sharing stories, I've been dealing with an elderly woman and her rescue chorkie who hasn't been socialized at all. She asked me and Billi to help socialize him, and I agreed. The woman has flaked on me repeatedly, not returned phone calls and will go weeks/months without contacting me. Only to out of the blue start calling me 4+ times a day from multiple numbers for several weeks on end. She gets increasingly rude in her voicemails, demanding that I help her. That it'd only be 5 minutes of my time. I agreed and she came over to my home, 45 minutes early yesterday "that's not a problem right?" I guess not, I'm just in the middle of school work Then she argued with me and disagreed with every bit of advice she'd been begging me for. Basically, she wanted me to tell her she was right (she wasn't) but once I figured that out and went along with her, she got really smug with me and said "Ok well I have to go now!" She acts like she's paying me for this headache. I really hope she loses my number.

| Call me cynical (my kids do ) but this is why I say kids and dogs are my favorite people. |

| I actually found 2 small dogs, one Yorkie and one was a small poodle when I was on a walk one day. Poodle kept playing with my dog but the Yorkie kept scolding his friend to not do that lol. I figured they were from the same home and I saw a house nearby with the garden gate opened wide! I went to ring the door bell and no one came to the door. No one was home! BUT they left their back sliding door open for the dogs to go in and out and somehow the garden door opened and the dogs ran out! So I tried to get both dogs to go back in to their backyard and the Yorkie was easy but NOT the poodle because all he wanted to do is play with my Yorkie and he doesn't want to go back in!!! I finally pushed him in behind the gate and closed it phew (I was sweating at this point). I am short and the gate was tall and heavy. I wrote a note to the owner put it on their door, had my phone number on there but never got a response. Not like I hope for anything but a simple thank you would be nice. I know that if it was me, I would be so thankful to the person.

| How rude that he did not thank you! People forget their manners. I returned a neighbor's small dog whom I found wandering in the street in the middle of the night. I brought the dog to the door and they didn't thank me. They behaved like I bothering them.

You can also block her number if she is starting to get annoying. If she shows up at your house anyway that would just be scary.
