I was SO annoyed today! I had my brother's dog Blue at the pet store for some cookies and socialization (to people) and it was fairly busy and Blue was behaving like a perfect gentleman. There was one lady there with a squirmy rat terrier who was very nice and she came up to pet Blue and Blue was very good. Then, this other "lady" comes in carrying her chi and she walks down the aisle towards Blue, scoops her dog up even higher and says in a nasty voice, "DON'T let your dog jump on me."
Say what? Blue was sitting and when this "lady" approached, he stood up and was wagging his tail, showing NO inclination to jump on her. I said in a fairly nasty tone back, "he doesn't jump up" and we walked off. Here's a tip, "lady": if you have a problem with dogs jumping on you, it's probably because you're carrying your rat-dog. Put a leash on that sucker and let him walk like a normal dog.
It shouldn't have bothered me as much as it did, but boy, I was fuming! Here I had just been thinking what a well-behaved boy Blue was being then I get a nasty lady like that. Not to mention she shifted her hand out of the way when she walked by to stop Blue from even touching her.
I'm a big dog fan but I like small dogs, too. I like any dog who doesn't act like an idiot...I had just told the lady with her little rat terrier or min pin how cute he was. But it does seem like some small dog people don't like big dogs? I don't know. I was just so annoyed!
