KIDS ACK! I love kids don't get me wrong... but I can't STAND kids that don't listen. And where the crap are their PARENTS!?!?!?!
I took Bamm out for a nice walk today. It's a REALLY nice day out so why not? There's a tennis court across from where I live. I take Bamm there every once in a while to do offleash training and play since it's a contained fenced off area.
So... Bamm is having a great time when all of a sudden like 10 kids come running up. I kid you not. They were like "*SQUEALS* DOG!!!!!! DOGGY!!!!!!"
Bamm doesn't have a whole lot of experience around kids. He kinda gets nervous when they run right up to him. So that bothered me. They ran up and were trying to stick their fingers through the fence. They were pratically ASKING to get bit. I gave Bamm a down command and he did so. Then I told the kids that I wasn't comfortable with them hanging around my dog. They said, "Oh but he's a pretty fox looking dog and we just want to pet him." I said, "I understand that, but he's not used to kids and it's not a good idea so PLEASE don't stick your hands through the fence and try and pet my dog"
Do they listen... NOOOOOOO....
This one kid stuck his arm through where the door to the tennis court is. He was trying to wave his arm around and yelling "WOOOOF WOOOOF WOOF WOOF!!!" at Bamm and started making growling noises at Bamm. I had to down Bamm again because he jumped up and started growling at the kid through the fence. I yelled at the kid and said they needed to go away. They wouldn't listen.
I walked over and grabbed Bamm's leash. Those kids weren't listening and for their safety and the safety of my dog, it was best to just leave.
What did the kids do?
THEY FOLLOWED ME... one kid was on a little trike type bike and tried to run into Bamm...
I yelled at them to get away
HORRIBLE LITTLE BRATS!!!
