GSgurl, don't worry about it. I do that all the time. It's fun to see how conversations evolve. I just brought it back around because I'm still all tense and distraught over this little dog. I just can't seem to shake it easily. So, I'm bugging you guys, I know. I'm such a weah weah at times. I know I sound tough but I'm not really when it comes right down to it or something like this.
Yeah, it's not the rubbing the dog's nose in poop. That, he did when they were pups. That's mean and nasty but this garbage can thing just happened a couple days ago and that was it. HUGE red flag. No empathy and I'm out. No, I couldn't convince him of anything. He knows it all and yelled at me and scared me (I'm chicken about stuff like that) for saying that I thought it was animal cruelty to put his dog in a big garbage can for so long. I did say to keep the garbage out of reach and the dog won't get a payoff and won't develop that habit, that it's natural for a dog to look for food and she doesn't know that she's doing something wrong. And he yelled, that she did know, that she looked guilty. Duh...of course, when he comes in with whatever reaction he had, she can see he's pretty scary and she's probably going to get in trouble. So she looks worried. Ignorant people like that make me sick.
I didn't see him do anything to his dogs the whole time, but not pay that much attention to them and just order them with a very stern voice. Nothing really too awful. But he told me about the one time he hit his Lab. Ok...so lots of people hit their dog once in a while. I let it go because he never did it again, at least while I was around. I told him then, how disturbed I was about that and that the dog didn't know she wasn't suppose to leave his property. After all, the neighbors give her attention and that's nice for her, so she goes again. And that he didn't do anything to teach her to stay home. Hitting her hours later means nothing to the dog except he's not to be trusted.
So, boring as he was, he seemed pretty nice in a lot of other ways, but over all, not my cup of tea personality wise anyhow. But I thought I'd give it a chance and see if I might grow to like him better. LOL. Go figure.... So, I don't want to see him again....on purpose. I will out of necessity because this town is tiny and he's my neighbor. Ugggg. But his horrible yelling at me is verbal abuse and I'm not accustomed to being treated that way...never was by my parents or my ex. So hmph! LOL.
Thanks guys....just needed to rant and rave or lose my mind.
ffer to help him learn how to treat his dogs.That poor min Pin being thrown into a garbage can.I hope you can convince him that is not the way to treat dogs.I am sorry for Hijacking the thread on you.Please dont be mad ok.
