Okay so this morning I had a large brain fart and decided to take Conka to the dog park. When we arrived there was no one there, so I made sure we went into the LARGE dog area. Just in case a large mouthed person came and flipped because we were not in the correct yard. This idiotic person with two Lasa's started comeing into the LARGE dog area while the SMALL dog area was CLEARLY empty. I politely shouted (I know oxymoron) to her (I was at the other end of the park playing ball with MY dog) that having her dogs in the LARGE dog area was not a very good idea. She started Cursing at me! And telling me I needed to socialize MY dog. Sorry I never said she would ATTACK her blasted dogs it is just not a GOOD idea. She continued to shout obsenities at me and also graced another patron with her opinion of my dog. I just ignored them and continued playing with my dog. They both went into the small dog yard, and she continued her vent. Stupid people! Short of needing to decontaminate my dog for my stupidity of takeing her there in the first place. I dont need a vet bill from some stupid moron who CLEARLY has no idea of canine behavior. And that letting your dog run around and sniff other dog butts is sufficient socialization.

What an idiot. I don't understand people like that. Why did she want to come into the large dog park with her small dog anyway. Yet another good reason not to go to the dog park....stupid humans.

What an interesting question Nicole and ONE I did ask her, I also politely offered to MOVE my dog into the SMALL dog yard to accomidate her. (IT was EMPTY) Her response "Well my dogs like BIG dogs" she snatched her unleashed dogs up into her arms and started to leave. Then began shouting obsenities. Please lady, average (untraumatized)dogs have no preference in size. Sadly her dogs will probably ONE day be severly injured because of her ignorance. And some unsuspecting LARGE dog owner will be blamed for having played too rough. Conka has a VERY high prey drive and though she HAS NOT YET injured a small creature I am not putting her in the position where that can happen. Her mother HAS! And I just dont want to take the risk. Needless to say Conka's doggie park days are OVER for ever. And I guess I am just going to have to start jogging again .

Stupid and clueless is no way to go through life but many somehow manage to meet this level and exceed it in many instances...
GW, it's just as well you left cuz if Conka didn't do anything to those little dogs (which I know he wouldn't) you probably woulda slugged the stupid owner....
After having Rocky for 4 years, I've just come to the conclusion that people see us and immediately form an opinion of my GSD and me(most times negative cuz of his size).... butcha know what, neither me or Rocky really care though!

YEP the main reason I fought very hard to prevent a dog park from being built here in our town. I could just see the poor unsuspecting dogs, who probably had no clue that their owners were stupid This is the main reason I have NO USE FOR DOG PARKS. I own a big dog and even I am cautious of the dogs I let her be around, because not everyone is as responsiable as most of us here. Some people think it's funny when dogs are snarling teeth nashing, and then say to you "OH HE WOULD NOT HURT YOUR DOG HE JUST WANTS TO PLAY" Well I suppose then I could bring a Cobra with me where ever I go and say " OH JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES HE JUST LIKES TO SPIT" DUMB DUMB DUMB. Richard I know full well what you mean every night we meet at least one opinionated idiot that judges Willow just because of the breed that she is and her size. THAT DOES TICK ME OFF. You did good GWP you were smart for not carrying on with the madness
