Speaking of bad neighbours..
- Thread starter SummerRiot
- Start date
Jesus.. Seriously Casablanca I dont know you and you dont know me but if anyone goes through all the trouble and time of showing a dog I think that shows a hell of alot of care, The dog needs to be in good conditions for shows surely you can understand that?
Another thing I find it disapointing that you need to bring up someones age. Your meant to be older and more sensible ACT LIKE IT! jesus!
Enough said.
I'm sorry to hear about your Riot, Maybe talking to the parents of the kids and explaining that its very serious and that it does affect your dog in a bad way even showing them might show how serious it is. I bet the kids dont understand about it, Are they young or old enough to know better?

Muddy4paws - I see that your new and already getting on the good sides lmao!
thanks so much for your support everyone (well ALMOST everyone lol) in this.
Riots nose has finally gotten his hair back and his ear is getting better(ear problem caused by the allergy).
Riot actually went to his first RallyO show on the weekend and was the only dog in Novice A division to take home a RNCL title! We missed the RNMCL by ONE point!! Ahh frustrating lol oh well in advanced I'm bound to take that one! lol
I have since spoken to two of our neighbours out of the 4. I just causually brought up the subject of our dogs and mentioned that one of our dogs was seriously allergic to wheat(I didn't state which one, which will HOPEFULLY not give them the advantage of "only feeding the ones that are fine with it" and leaving poor Ri sitting there wondering what was going on - or getting snappy because he was left out sort of thing.
They were both surprised that a dog could have allergies like that and I just mentioned something like "so if you are in the absolute need of treating them, please ring our doorbell FIRST because his last episode cost me $100 + in vet bills" and they completely understood. I didn't point the finger or blame, just vaguely told them how it is with him.
I also explained to them that it does ruin his mannerisms when other people treat him. He then expects everyone he meets to have something etc etc and then the nosey dog appears..
So my next task is speaking to the other 2 neighbours when evern i see them in the yard...

Wow. did it ever occur to people that a dog loosing its hair affects its helath. So being worried about one in turn means you are worried about the other. I'd love to see someone go shave casablancas dog since the hair means nothing
Glad the neighbors listened I could see mine feeding my dogs bread as I was telling them
