Ah hah. How unusual- a dog owner who wants instant perfection but without the work to get there with the puppy dog. I've never heard tell, Karen. *G* Frankly, I don't know how you can stand it- in general- without going barking mad. I'm a hideous dog trainer- but get it done- ossmosis and dog whispering or perhaps others' dogs feel sorry for inept me and comply- ROFL We have cruel and clueless neighbor with a truly wonderfully tempered and bright GSD of whom we are so fond. I'm not going to tell you how his owners train and treat him- hitting and yelling - are but two of their um failproof methods. They can't understand why this really "bad" dog of theirs minds me, with but gentle firm voice and some danged hand signals. How you put up with such folks- and on a regular basis have to endure their opines - is beyond my understanding. Perhaps you like dogs. *G*
Just for one day, I'd like to be able to say exactly what I think to each such stupid dog owner we met. I'd be hoarse and probably punchy and punched out in mere hours. LMBO You'd have to visit me in the prison's hospital ward, and slip me a file in a cake or something.
I had my trio out in down stays at hardware store (buying furnace filters- heat is good in winter for man and beast alike *G*) - very circus must be in town doggies- to ndr folks - seeing them behave, reckon. Gentleman comes up says this "My Golden would never do that! Goldens are so stupid. " Holy baby jay. He then ignored my idiotic screed about the merits of the breed, Golden Retriever, often service dogs etc- and he said this with grave seriousness and with furrowed browed regrets at his um error in breed selection of his puppy (no joke- this is it verbatim) "Next time, we're getting a Pomeranian, like that one of yours. They're smarter and easier to train. "
He hefted tazer pom up- testing weight- lifting her out of her sit and sort of bouncing her in one hand- to feel her bulk - (like one might heft a melon or perhaps a baseball) without asking me or she. (a miracle she did not remove his face for his efforts.) He said "About four pounds?" Proud of himself. I said "Yes, and with all her teeth!" as I hurriedly placed my hand under her for support so -she'd not become a blot of goo on the floor's tiles - amid the gent's testing bounces.
(Tazer needs a weapon of her namesake. ROFL ) I'd have gladly bitten him myself. In review- Goldens are stupid. It can't be their owners, can it?! Poms are smart and they so enjoy strangers using them for juggling objects and for feats of daring-do.
Make the cake chocolate, please and don't forget the little file with sharp teeth. OK!
