I hope you actually said that, or even better, kneed him somewhere.

Isn't that nice, love the pictures. I wish we had a park around where I live. My dogs don't get to socialize with other dogs. No we don't have any friends with any, we don't know anyone around here, we have only lived here 1 year, and no family here.

Their loss . . . and they have no one to thank for it but themselves.

No! Normally I would have, and I wish I did. Instead I told him we recently lost our Rottweiler, and this was our new puppy. He asked if our Rotty was a big lap dog, I said yes, started crying, and ran away. I could tell the guy felt really bad, and a lady who over heard asked him why he would ask a question like that. Lol Take that insensitive guy!!!
Butterbean looks so cute in that coat! That lady must have no heart. I bet her kids hate her.

I get that with Douglas too...the kicker with him is he is protective and when people act off around me he bares his teeth at them and growls. He is usually great but god forbid he thinks I am in danger.

Coupled with the spiked collar he wears they usually shut up or comment on how loyal he is. He's small but very few people underestimate him anymore.

I've NEVER made a comment like that to anyone about their dog or pets.. EVEN if it was an actual rat . I'll be honest though... before I got Bailey, I hated the breed, thought they were yappy and annoying... It stemmed from my grade 9 socials teacher bringing his two to school.. they were like that. Now that I have Bailey, I could not imagine loving another breed of dog the way I love Bailey. We have such a strong bond that I never thought was possible with a dog. YES I will be getting more chis in the future

Savannah's historic downtown district, where I live, is like one big dog park, to the point that most business owners and managers put water bowls out on their sidewalks, and keep boxes of dog treats handy behind their counters; signs reminding to scoop are everywhere. It's great when dogs are on-leash, well-behaved, and scooped after, but not so great when one or more of those is not the case.

If Butterbean had been yapping and straining at the leash to provoke a confrontation with the bulldog, I wouldn't have liked the woman's comment, but would have understood her point of view on the situation. Butterbean didn't make the slightest peep, though, and shyly crossed behind me to hide on my other side. For that matter, like I said, the bulldog didn't seem particularly interested in us, either, or in need of any kind of talking-to like that.
