this was my thought exactly! i wasnt upset more surprised at the rudeness... i was respectful of him (keeping snickers away from the property etc when he looked up i smiled and said hello) so i was really taken back... snickers wasnt barking or growling and she is a DOG so why would i expect a HUMAN to do it?? lol shows she has better manners is all

Sometimes older people have a weird sense of humor. My husband, who is a very intelligent man, makes a game of barking at Silk. Every time she hears him in the house or walk by the room where she is, she starts barking. We can't break her no matter what. Contrary to some other posts about this, this man is very smart. (course,I would say that).

Some idiots like getting dogs all spun up to give you a hard time. Then if your dog reacts they try to make it seem like you're a bad dog owner. I'm glad you and your dog just looked at him like he was stupid! Sometimes kids walking by like barking at my dogs when they are in the yard. It is just too bad that some people weren't taught how to act and that it's wrong to try to spin dogs up.

My neighbors friend was outside and my dogs were barking at him and he yelled at them real loud. This guy drinks and I think he had been drinking anyway I didnt appreciate it.

see if it was a kid i would get it...even teens
its just adults i dont get...specially when you are being respectful of them
its not so much that i was upset/offended etc i'm just always surprised when i treat someone nicely and respectfully and they dont and/or go in the completely opposite direction
snickers was quiet and staying off the lawn and on the side of the road and didnt go to the bathroom or anything...
maybe i am just being a lil silly but i wanted to vent a bit... i just dont get people its disappointing
lol next time we take a walk it will be me, snickers, and all 3 kids lets see how he reacts to that racket lol j/k.... mostly

he was just a grumpy old man. Have you ever seen that movie? Try not to let people like that ruin your day!

Tiggerwit · 04-01-2006, 11:30 AM

maybe he's lonely. You know, the scary guy in the neighborhood. Bring him some cookies.

Otherwise, just keep on walking. It's sad if you really think about it that people are that way.

Hes probably been impotent for the last 20 years and just needed to let off some steam. Offer him some viagra the next time you walk by! lol
