So I have posted before that we have a 300 acre park one block away from us. In winter they close off the roads and many, many people do not go out. You tend to see just dog people, many, many that I have experience with and are very comfortable with off leash dogs.
I have taught a new command, both arms in the air means get your butt back here right now and the bumpasses have been very good with it.
But a couple of weeks ago, we met a new guy and we were coming over the ridge and he had two Chows on leash. As Kimm hates *** I hate that he called me the C word and SCREAMED get those dogs on a leash. I rased my arms, they came back and I was afraid I would have to explain how bad the C Word was to my babies.
I have seen him two other times and the bumpasses come back when I raise my arms. Let me mention his dogs seem very sweet.In my experience Chow owners can be nervous for good reason.
So here is the crux of the story. Today I saw him, going through the park and he had his wife with him. I raised my arms and the bumpasses were back in a heartbeat. The wife was very sweet, she said we should let them meet, are your dogs friendly? I looked right in his eyes and said they are very friendly.
But Abby and Finn ran right on by. Not doing that with that A-hole.
The wife said "don't your dogs like to play with other dogs?" for one of those seconds I almost called him out, but then decided to take the high road.
But I chuckled for the rest of the walk.
