My friend and I were out doing a training walk with my east GSD when she was about 4 months old. We had passed a jogger at one point that made it a point to go fr, far over from the puppy. I honestly thought nothing of it nor did my friend. Upon returning back from our short walk we again pass this jogger however this woman now makes it a point to stop us (her on pause ~ jogging in place) and said "I really do hate dogs!"....wow even my dog gave a look as if to say OMG! did she really just say that? as we all stood with our jaws open, she just jogged away...
Yeah, I've encountered lots of folks who act like I should be apologetic for having "a dog like that". Like somehow it's my responsibility to cater to their irrational fears. Nothing surprises me anymore.
On another note, I think 'Wafghan' has possibilities. It's not as easy to poke fun of, but perhaps safer and more family friendly (in it's own somewhat creepy way, of course)
We got stopped the other other night by a lady who told me how horrible I am because I must be starving and over exercising my dog.
He is thin, but he is muscular and shiny and healthy. God forbid my dog not be morbidly obese.
I didn't dare tell her he had recently put on about 5 lbs.
Of course, we could go to "wankghan" but I have NOT googled it and am a bit afraid to after the recent fluffing / wanket trauma.
I'm thinking it's the root word in there "wank" add an er and your in big trouble. I think that's what through me off with the wanket, hence looking it up.
I thought I'd post this here rather than a new thread.
I was walkin Ollie last night and a guy stopped me and asked,
"Why are you always walking that dog?"
Me: "Exercise."
Guy: "Don't you have a yard?"
Me: "Yes, but he has poor recall."
Guy: "What's that?"
Me: "I can't trust him to come when I call him."
Guy: "He'll come home when he's hungry."
I live in the country, dogs everywhere running loose and chained to dog houses. I've never seen another dog being walked on leash or even with an owner. So I'm the weird one...the crazy lady with her dog. People look at me like I'm nuts. I'm dying to go next door and groom the two chained over there...I don't even know what they are! (Matted stinky little messes.)Very depressing.
