I dont even know what to say...So **** Pissed

[jess2416]

I am soooo pissed that I am literally about to cry...................


Chloe and I were outside, and we were playing and watching for squirrels, and I was trying to get her used to the doggy pool I bought her...


Well, I dont talk about this much, but Chloe is a bit territorial, and she does not like strangers coming in the yard or strangers that come to close to the yard...

Well, of course as you all know, Chloe is on a tie out when she are outside playing because our whole yard isnt fenced in, and she has no recall..

well, the farmer (that I THOUGHT was a pretty nice guy) came walking down his road that is to the side of our house, well, Chloe started barking and growling and raising hell at him..

and this is what happened...

Hey asks Chloe what she was barking at, and then said hey to me, she continued barking and carrying on, and he said dont you bite me (keep in mind she is on a tie and he is 10 feet away, and there is a barbed wire fence (that was for the cows) in between them, and then I say, she wont she just likes to bark, and then he says..

YOU BETTER NOT BITE ME, I'LL FOOD POISON YOU...

WTF....

What the hell did Chloe do to him...

 

[Brattina88]

what an idiot!!
Better keep a close eye on her when she's outside

What a jerk he is. I would be pissed too. I think I might have yelled or said a few expletives to him. Chloe did what she was supposed to do.
My 1st dog a springer was barking while I was bending over tying my shoes, I looked up and there was a lil old lady and I said Soni... and the lady said She's only doing what she is supposed to do, protecting you.

 

[Baxter'smybaby]

does he have any dogs? I would be wary of him--maybe Chloe is a pretty good judge of character. I think you have every right to be upset.

 

[Saje]

What a jack ass.

 

[jess2416]

I dont even really know what to say...

 

[Buddy'sParents]

I'd watch her outside from now on and not leave her our unsupervised at all (not saying that you do this). What an ass. You also might want to file a report? can that be done?

 

[bcmoffatt]

You also might want to file a report? can that be done?

That's what I was thinking. I would consider what he said almost a threat. Not that Chloe is going to bite him or anything... But you can't go around saying stuff like that, can you?

What a jerk. Definitely watch her closely when she's outside. When Thunder was young, and I still lived at my parents house, he suddenly became extremely aggressive and it was so unlike him. When I took him to the vet, he found out that Thunder had been poisoned with cocaine and some other type of drug. Apparently one of the neighbors had thrown it in the yard in some food and Thunder ate it. He was lucky he survived and even though I don't live there anymore I still watch the dogs so closely when we're outside.

I'm sorry, Jess. Ditto what everyone else said.

I have a neighbor like that. I told him that he was making Millie uncomfortable when he was getting in her face and she was backing up. Then the moron starts BARKING at her and snarling in her face. I yelled at him to get the hell away from her and I had an overwhelming urge to bite him for her. He then said, "If she ever bit me she's really regret it." Needless to say I'm glad he lives a road over and I avoid him like the plague, whether I have my dogs with me or not.

 

[Zife]

What a jerk. I would've whooped his ass. -_-

My 13 year old niece got suspended from school because she said she was going to light someone on fire as a joke... my guess is that if you filed a report, it'd work.

 

[jess2416]

Im still in shock...

This is a man that I have lived behind for damm 28 years

What the hell

Ditto what Bax said. I'd growl at him too.


(((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))

 

[Renee750il]

One more reason I like dogs better than people as a rule . . .

 

[jess2416]

Thanks gals...



Bax, he USED to...and now that you mention it, he is the only "neighbor" that Chloe still barks and growls at when she sees him..

But...

Im still not sure what to say

*sigh*

 

[wishbone]

Awww, I fell really bad reading that. He's too judgemental.

 

[jess2416]

Thanks Wish

I have no clue ?? thats a good question

 

[Buddy'sParents]

I think a call to your local PD won't hurt one bit...

 

[smkie]

i might consider reported such a threat. I would take it very seriously. That scares me to no end. That sounds like he might have done it before.

On the training end..what do you do when she does this? Is this something you are working on? I have had a devil of a time but Pepper has finally begun to accept that we do not bark at people walking down the road, and she is to ignore dogs and kids and everything that is not in our yard. IT is hard, i have to watch her every second that she is in the yard, and correct her each time she barks from inside...informing her that WE DO NOT DO THAT..while mary looks and laffs and shrugs and rolls over. IT isn't easy but it is serious business that they learn to overide their initial instinct. Ignoring it, tolerating it, or heaven forbid encouraging it does the dog no favors. IT doesn't mean they won't be protective, Mary is the most protective dog i have ever had, it does mean they have to pause and think and read the situation for what it is. It teaches them to control themselves which in the long run makes them safer to the community.
