Well obviously the man is just an unhappy person, why else would you go out of your way to insult a dog. He must have run out of people to insult.

Storm · 03-17-2006, 08:54 AM

What a jerk! I have a neighbor that acts that same way towards my Stormy. Whenever I see him outside, I tend to walk the other way. It's just not worth getting upset about.

I got into a huge arguement last 4th of July over my English Mastiff

It was like 2:00 a.m. I let Tank out to do his business, he usually scratches the door when he wants backs in. I heard Tank start barking, then I heard people screaming

I walked out on my deck to call Tank back into the house and there was a drunk guy that lived a few houses up the street fighting with his girlfriend...so of course Tank was barking. When I called to him he came straight to me. This guy starts yelling at me and calling me names...and tries to get in my gate. Tank went nuts! So "drunk guy: kicks my fence right where my dog is. By this time I'm doing some name-calling of my own! I finally got Tank inside the house and had to call the police because the guy was still at my fence yelling...he told the cops my dog tried to attack him and his girlfriend. The cop who was a friend of the family told him my dog was inside our yard and he should be thankful he didn't get in the gate when he tried because Tank would have "laid a hurting" on him LOL.
Months after all this happened my neighbor still would call me a b*tch while walking past my house and yell at any of my dogs that were outside. I can't understand people who don't like animals!

I really don't think being in his 60's or "elderly" is what made the man rude. He was most likely rude when he was young and hasn't mellowed with age. As a person in their 60's, I see a lot of young people who are very rude and have no manners whatsoever.
It's not the age of the person that makes them rude. It's just that manners and compassion are getting to be a thing of the past. There are so many rude people around nowadays, even children.

You just gained tons of respect from me. I wish there were more like you. You did exactly what I think is the right thing to do. Instead of being mean like that lady was you taught your children the right way to handle unkind people...thumb up to you.

No you are right, it isn't that ageat all. It just so happened, this was an older man that I had the experience with, I don't discriminate, I deal with rude people of all ages.

I agree....it is very sad that manners and compassion are fading from society.

Tashasmom · 03-17-2006, 10:37 AM

I have to say I enjoy being around the older generation alot more than I do my generation and younger. It seems people my age and younger the majority have forgotten about simple things in life as well as how to respect. But thats another thread on another day..lol.

I told him his name was Nikko and he went on to talk about his daughter's dog. Then he looks at Nikko while he is being as adorable as ever and says "hey, you might me fond of me but I am not so fond of you!" and he walked away. What the f@$# was that about?

He is lucky my mother raised me to respect my elders otherwise I would have given him a piece of my mind!!

Ohh man, I know the feeling! Kloey is the same way, when we go on walks she is like "look at me people" "look how cute I'am" "ah Hello? can't you see me" then if they walk by her she turns around to like say " HELLO!!!!!!!" "whatever, your loss cause I'm really cute"

That sounds like so much fun!! My Nikko is an only child and it breaks my heart to see how excited he gets when he sees other doggies.

shelbysmom · 03-17-2006, 11:38 AM

We have that happen with Shelby too. She has her favorite people on our walks now and she goes CRAZY when she sees them. all others, she is a little less crazy

Hey, it's their loss. Don't let it upset you.
