Idiot Woman!

Just coming back from our walk this morning & had turned into a fairly quiet road outside the park, There's a car parked on the right, facing me. Woman driver with the window wound down & talking to another woman who was standing in the road. On the other side of the road was a fairly elderly man walking along with a schnauzer type (the small ones), minding his own business.

Out of the driver's window flew a small JRT - literally flew out of the window, across the road & attacked the schnauzer-type! And the woman just watched it go!

I went over to help the man cause he looked a bit unsteady, but as we got there the JRT snapped at Dempsey & Dempsey being Dempsey made it clear that he wasn't too keen on the JRT! The JRT obviously thought better of it & shot off down the road towards the park.

Meanwhile, the woman in the car was slowly getting out (hatchet faced old bat) and as her dog raced away she said "Oh, thanks very much, now I've got to go and get him!" And she got back in the car & drove off.

Afterwards I thought of all the things I could have said & should have said, but it was all over in a few seconds, really. Trouble is, neither of us took the number of the car so there's no point reporting it - it was a ford focus, and there aren't really that many of those on the road are there?

Luckily the dog wasn't hurt, but the man was a bit shaken.

Irresponsible, lazy woman. If she was paying attention to her dog in the first place, it wouldn't have happened. Why do these people even bother to get dogs?

Makes you wonder.

What did the other woman do? The one standing in the road?

Walked off. Just turned around & walked off the other way!

What a good friend!

Are dogs supposed to be restrained in a car anyway or is this not law yet ?? I guess the driver could have been asking for directions Still does not excuse the dogs behaviour though.

Doesn't excuse the woman's complete lack of urgency in getting the damn thing back, either!

oh I despair and I think about things too much and then someone like this comes along to make me feel a whole lot better. As Kathy says whether it's law or not why the hell wasn't the dog restrained in the car, it's not just for the dog's safety

some people dont deserve dogs

I'd have told her where to * go the silly cow

If I hadn't been so gobsmacked I would have! It all happened so quickly - more quickly than it took to tell the story & the other guy & me just stood there with our mouths open!

nothing queer as folk

Ok I think I'm narrowing it down for you Caryll. I have slashed the tyres on 30 Ford focus cars.

Well, since Eleanor's been on the forum, it's the quietest she's ever been!
