At local fair today and there's a dog show so lots of dogs around. Freya is a bit nervous of crowds because being here it's hard socialising in crowds because there aren't any, so she was a bit barky. This guy accuses me of having a dangerous dog. I said why is she dangerous. He says because she's barking. I said what on earth are you on about, all the dogs here are Barling at different times, she's never bitten anyone, she's on a very short lead under tight control. Then proceeded to bang on about our dangerous dog. I said she's 15 months old if I can't take her to something like dogs shows how is she to learn how to behave? Said up here on holiday by any chance? Said yes we are, so said well I'm ****ing not, this is my village don't come here for a week and act like you own the ****ing place. Now piss off before I lose my patience and never mind the dog I'll rip your head off.... Apart from anything else thinking about it afterwards if you genuinely thought I had a dangerous dog would you honestly approach and start annoying the owner? I certainly wouldn't thus guy was obviously too thick to think of that. We usually make it to the start of the summer holiday before a tourist manages to seriously upset me and look and behold with 3 days to go still managed it. So angry......
I think that the guy may have had a point, nothing worse than an aggressive out of control dog in a public place.
She was on a short lead at a dog show don't know how you can class that as "out of control" mate All well and good saying calm down but you weren't the ones being verbally abused. Was talking to the Rev afterwards about what had happened and she was horrified, said she'd wish she'd witnessed it so she could have told the man off. I said unfortunately this is the reason we don't support this even more. We ran a stall for the church year before last and a neighbour dumped her kids on us to babysit whilst she spent £50 trying to win a bottle of sangria lol. Every time I think of offering more help to places you get reminded of how nasty some people can be. The wife does a lot with the church for messy church, that's a lot of hard work with the clash of personalities lol. Think it's a bit sad people feel the need to be mean, my mum used to say if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing lol
Rich, you can't go through life worrying about things that you have no control over, mate. Maybe your pit-bull was being a bit boisterous, but I seriously wouldn't give a second thought to what some random nobody thought about it. Life's to short for that kind of **** mate, there's far more important things to worry about, let it go.
Lol we don't have a pitbull I don't care what a random thinks of me what pissed me off was he was trying to bully me and when I spoke up he was hinting at assaulting me that's why I was pissed off don't care about him but I'm not being bullied by anyone had enough of that at school. Also dragged myself down there to support the church when I just wanted to stay in bed because of the pain and made the effort to go and that happened. He was actually starting on the wife and I wasn't letting that slide. See for all he knew she was a rescue dog who had been mercilessly beaten for months at a time. I wouldn't have said anything if it were me because she was under control at all times aside from barking (which plenty of other dogs were doing too) Anyway was just getting the rant off my chest on here feel better now lol
Tbh rich i am surprised you kept so calm, i would have probably wanted the smack the twat. Well done.
This is my rant, we walk our dog over the fields and will let her off the lead for a run but always put her on if we see anybody, not that she would bit but she is excitable. Anyway the is some twat who won't put his dog n leadand when we see him his dog will come over and start having a go at ours, he then wanders over(no ****ing rushing either) and precides to say "oh its because he doesn't like dogs on leads" I mean what the **** does he want us to do, give our dog a ****ing piggy back, or put her in a pram or something. Eedless to say after the 5th time i said well perhaps you should think about keeping it on a lead.
Yup the irresponsible ones **** it up for everyone else. If you don't like dogs or dogs barking (plenty were) don't go to a ****ing dog show, honestly. Thought I'd get it off my chest on here, forgot there's so many twats in the woodwork here. Time to sign out and leave. See ya!
Dog owners who allow their dogs to roam off the leash when we're playing organised football on a Saturday and Sunday, that's what really pisses me off! Having to get the players to scoop up the dog turd before we can start the game! Any dog owners reading this... Make sure you clear up the dog turd and have some consideration for other people!
I have this arguement with my missus all the while, one rule that i insist on is that our dog doesn't even set on a football pitch and we have to walk around. Too many times of playing at dumbarton road and bramford land in ipswich.
