the cheek of some people

ok so..ive encounted the people who give me a wide birth,the people who think its cute when there tiny dog snaps at my dog,but my dog snaps back and my dogs a danger..well my friends today really topped the tops.im on my usual walk,and I hear a woman shouting excuse me..so I turn round and say yes,hope your ready guys..she had the cheek to ask me to put my dog on a lead while hers was toddling up on no lead,because she does not walk hers on a lead and I have two staffies,im a little bit in a mood this morning and there was no way I was having that,told her my dogs are friendly and I wont be putting them on the lead,this is me shouting down the hill at 7am :/ im sure the neighbours was amused!! she had the cheek to say I cant be sure there friendly,told her neither could she, shes irresponable and the dogs are friendly but im not p##s off..turned and walked away..im still laughing at what I said hee!!..am I just a cow or should I have put them on the lead..discuss,because im quite stubborn that if theres is not on a lead then im not putting mine on.when all they like to do is play not pull dogs jugulars for fun on our walks.or am a just been a...mooooo

No thats not on, you can't just tell someone to put their dogs on the lead because of what breed they are!

oooo dont get me start lmao i have the same problems lol

I was not sure if I was just been OTT but think that's what got me going,the fact she said they was staffies,really got my anger flowing.

there 2 small dogs my sam cant stand they always try to bite him, becasue hes 3 time bigger then them it's his fault

no i dont think you were ott,she could of walked the other way if she was that concerned,silly women!

I think you were well within your rights Hun, not ott at all

Let me guess - "my dog got attacked by a Staff and he's scared of them".

I get this quite often, even though my Kuchar is on a lead (a long lead because he has wanderlust, but I reel it in when we encounter dogs we don't know). I'm a soft sack I know, but I bend over backwards - "don't worry, this is the friendliest dog on earth" - "can they just say hello to each other?" - etc. Doesn't always work, but I always try!

Its just so unreal.you know what it is i personally think is peoples problems with staffies.not all the t.v media of whats happend.they think "lock jaw" i really do believe they think if a staffie bites a dog it wont let go and will tear it into a million bits.,well they can bugger off,hopefully i will have a better day tmoz
