I have 2 Jack Russell Terriers, about 18lbs. I goto a dog park down the street and there is always some jerkoff, pencil neck, brotha, or white trash with a dog bigger than 20 lbs in the less than 20lb park. Usually, they are not a problem if it is a sheepdog, or lab, but more often than not, they are pitbulls or rotts around 2yrs old (still too big 40-50lbs).
This guy was there yesterday, (typical white trash) with 2 not fully grown pitbulls and throwing a ball for them, as I was throwing a ball for my boy's. Well, one of his dogs stole my little dogs ball when I threw it, not a problem, it was a ball for all the dogs in the park, I left it alone I even like to throw it for other dogs too. Then he throws the ball for his dog, and it ran so fast and carelessly, That I had to step in front of my dog so this dog would not have run into him. well at first I brushed it off, but on my way home, my ankle swelled to the size of a baseball. Now, had this dog ran into my dog, it would have broken his ribs, leg ect. Now I'd be lookin at a $2000.00 vet bill, and I'm sure the guy wouldn't pay willingly.
I'm a rather big tall guy, and I don't like to throw my weight around being a tough guy, plus I hate confrontation unless someone has it coming. But this is a warning sign that I best nip this at the bud next time, and open my mouth, or I'm gonna take my boys to the vet and get them regular Winstrol shots (joke).
The funny thing is is that its not like they did anything wrong but be in the wrong area (they weren't viscious), there are 2 bigger area's for large dogs, but any one who needs a dog to protect them and be tough guy really don't want any confrontation either. I'll keep ya'll posted. Its times like this when I'm glad that I train and am in good shape, cause that I hope with a couple of tactical, words, will get this guy (and many others) in the right area for the weight of their dog. Because I'am done with being a nice guy (for all you flamers thats gonna flame me) I'll settle for the word pansy.
Anyone Else have any experiences where you're Mr. Nice guy, and something bad turned you around?
I'm not gonna wait till my dog gets seriously hurt or killed because these people can't read, or just don't care period!
