Dog Park Rationalization Lady Who Can Go Get Bent

[wart57]

People can go through a lot with pets. Some are obviously more attached to them then others. No need to put down people who love their pets too much, they are way better than the ones who don't love them enough.

Where do you keep the urn wart?

I know whenever that day comes for my dog, he will be cremated. I don't really care if you think that means I need my head examined.

The only thing that I did that may have annoyed people occasionally was this - we had an electric fence and DIzzy was trained very well. When people walked by the front, she really wanted to go out and greet them, but knew she couldn't. Her response was this loud, almost alarm style bark. It was a frustration bark, but if you didn't know her you wouldn't know that. It was loud. Everyone in the neighborhood knew her, so it wasn't a problem for them, but other people were intimidated. I never went to go get her, if I was out I would just wave and say "She can't get out, and she is friendly" but some didn't trust that. Once in a great while I would get a dirty look, but I just felt like [expletive] you, she is contained even if you can't see the fence, and I'm not going to go grab my dog that is in my yard who wouldn't hurt you just so you feel comfortable walking on the sidewalk in front of my house. Although having said that, I did understand and sympathize a little.

You can't save people from imaginary threats.

Lots of people love their pets very dearly. That's totally normal. Some people just go too far in discussing that love with other people.

I didn't ask for them, didn't see the need for them, it wasn't them any more.

Dreams, fantasy sports teams, gambling stories, march madness bracket and pets. Things I don't want to talk to you about.

I had a dream that I bet my dog could pick a better march madness bracket than you, and you said that was cool, but she would never have a better fantasy football team than yours....true story.

If we were to do a heat map of GRB favorite topics, the top two would have to be [expletive]/wiping after a [expletive] and euphemisms for penises and vaginas.

I got to give my speech this evening. Was at the dog park for about 20 minutes. The little girl is running, playing, having fun with the other dogs. Here she comes, Cubs cap, blonde ponytail tucked neatly through the hole in the back, big sunglasses, running pants even though she's not running, spotless running shoes--basically the upscale B's Sunday uniform in Chicago.

Her dog goes right after Frances, pins her to the ground. I put the leash on Frances and say "let's go, this dog is too aggressive with you." The lady goes "Um, ex-CUSE me?" and I give the speech that I've been rehearsing since last week. "Um, I've worked with RESCUES for FIFTEEN years." "Great, rationalize all you want so you can feel like your dog isn't aggressive. Your dog is aggressive. She's again pinning her down and not letting her up and going after her throat. If you're the expert or have been to even 10 minutes of obedience school with your dog you know that's a problem. She's been playing with the other dogs in a friendly way every day. Your dog doesn't play friendly with her. Your dog is aggressive." The I told her she could "go F your (see you next Tuesday) self" in front of children, which I should feel bad about but oddly don't.
