First rant!

One little comment really ticked me off today!!

I was taking toby for a walk during my lunch and all was fine. Toby got to sniff at a few dogs and said hello to a few people after they asked for my permission, all was good! But on my way home there was one person... (there always is) who thought that because Toby was pulling towards them, it gave them permission to fuss him. As i wasn't prepared for this person to do that Toby jumped up and got a bit excited and mouthed at the persons hands.

I pulled him off and started talking to the person saying "as he is a puppy still you should avoid encouraging him to jump up". They were acceptant of this, but instead of finishing off with an apology, they decided to throw in the comment "you should probably buy a muzzle for him to stop him from biting at people.".

I was late for returning to work so instead of giving him a huge rant (that would be undoubtedly falling on deaf ears), i just said "No, that would be completely unnecessary." and walked off.

Why am I such a wimp and conflict adverse!!?

I think you did the right thing, stupid people like that aren't worth wasting oxygen on!

This has been my pet peeve the whole time owning Taz - people thinking they have the right to reach out their hand and/or pet her - even when I've specifically asked them not to - it's times like these where you wish you took the gaffa tape out with you to place over their big fat useless, uneducated & stupid gobs!

What I hate is that if I was to have a dog that bites, the dog would get the blame for being vicious and the person sticking their hand in his face would be the "victim"...

what a moron .. some people !!

look at that precious little bundle of fur..hardly a biter !!

UH OH.... better get him a muzzle before he licks someone to death!!

That's the thing, if you insist on shoving you hands into a pup's face knowing they use their mouth like hands don't be surprised if you feel little needle teeth, IT'S A PUPPY! :DToby's a fantastic name btw.
