What is wrong with people? I will also point out that 99% of the time, it is men making these comments. Or rather overgrown boys because clearly their brains aren't fully developed.
- Cat killer. That's slander!
- Pit bulls. Those people clearly need their eyes examined. Aside from being the same species, they look nothing alike. In fact, I'm pretty sure Onyxx looks much more like a cat than a pit bull.
- Get those wild beasts away from me! Mr. N can walk on two legs, say grace, and will wait to be given permission to eat. I'd hardly qualify him as a wild animal.
- Ankle biter. I kind of wanted to march up to the guy and say, "Don't worry. I'll make sure he doesn't bite your ankles. I wouldn't want him to catch something."
- People who bark at the dogs. Once you're past the age of five or so, you really shouldn't be playing the game of what does the animal say. We all know what the dog says.
- This guy walks up to us and says, "you and your little dog too" and then walks off again. We do not live in Kansas. Or Oz. I should throw some water on him and see if he melts.
- People who joke about eating the dogs. This old guy kept making comments about barbequing Mr. N. First of all, he would make a terrible meal. He's all skin and bones. Very little fat. Second, you would have to catch him first and he can outrun you. Third, what is wrong with you? You're not funny. You're just twisted.
Ooo thanks for sharing Mr N. Don't take it to heart, those sapiens are just prejudging us dogs!
ReplyDeleteOh I don't think he cares but I do!
DeleteWow, I don't recall ever getting such judgy comments about my dogs - I"d be offended too!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a small (or giant) dog thing. Or we just have a lot of judgy people around where we live! We usually get at least one such comment per week. The dogs aren't always perfectly behaved (although I try) but these comments are almost always when they ARE behaving!
DeleteOh...when people bark at my dogs that drives me crazy, especially when they are driving by in a car and roll the window down and bark really loud. How stupid!
ReplyDeleteI know. I don't know what they're thinking. Or if they're thinking.
DeleteMy favorite is when people see Roxy and say she could kill a big dog by getting stuck in it's throat. Really??!! People, or men, can be so very stupid sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWe get the "my dog could eat your dog"comment a lot too.
DeleteHow bizarre that people say such odd and hurtful things! I've been known to stick my own foot in my mouth, though. :(

I mean people have said weird things to me about Mr. N like how he is too pretty to be a boy. Which is weird but I found it funny. The majority of those things I wrote about though were just mean spirited.
DeleteCooking Mr. N??!! Woof! That guy better hopes he never meets my dogs!
ReplyDeleteI hope they try to eat him!
DeleteRoooo that's awful Mr N - perhaps you need a big doggie buddy like me to protect you on your walks. I only get silly questions like if I'm a Rottweiler, or a Beagle. What the woof is all of that about? I sometimes get people woofing at me too, and I always bark back just to show how it should be done *Waggy tail*

We would love a big dog buddy to walk with but I think walking two is the maximum I can handle. Yes, Mr. N always barks back too.
DeleteO my gosh! I've never had anyone say any of those kinds of mean things. But I have to say, it really hurts my feelings when people I know call me fat. :o( ~Cooper the Red Heeler from 2catsandacattledog
ReplyDeletePoor Cooper. That hasn't happened to us yet although one guy reached down to pet Mr. N and told me he was too skinny.
DeletePeople are dreadful I hear more anti cat talk though to be honest so many people seem to hate cats for no reason
ReplyDeleteUrban hounds
We don't have cats so I don't hear much of it. I do agree though that a lot of people irrationally hate cats.
DeleteOh boy. You have run into some odd people. Really odd. I don't understand the barking thing either. :)
ReplyDeleteIt confounds me.
DeleteI'm sorry you had to meet all those people D: Now I'm kind of glad all I meet are those go - that dog bites or just whistle or make kissy noises at the dog - nothing as bad as what you're getting! Have a better week ahead!
ReplyDeleteSomeone petted Mr. N on the head... then asked if he bites? Umm...
DeleteI get tired of people calling my Malamute a husky. It got to the point that I wanted to make a shirt that said "No, I am not a husky."
ReplyDeleteFor your Malamute right?
DeleteOh boy, that's a lot you have to ignore, don't worry, we all know how lovely you guys are - Some humans are hard to understand!
ReplyDeleteMost of the time I get called a girl, but Mum and I have a deal, I'll wear the hair clips and ponytails so long as she tells everyone I'm a boy! :)
I hope you're having a fun day,
Your pal Snoopy :)
Haha. Poor Snoopy. Someone told Mr. N he was too pretty to be a boy.
