Why I get annoyed

[mrose_s]

I was out at the horses with my mother the other day and she just casually threw in "oh, Buster got out the other day"
I just sorta went, okay. I know him, he doesn't wander and he isn't one to barge through open gates.

So then she added that he got out becuase he saw a woman walking her husky/GSD past. He attacked it. Holy F.
I was at work, we have 6 foot fence to keep the dogs in. Buster is DA and while his recall so far has been good even around other dogs, he doesn't really listen to anyone other than me at the best of times. So why... dear family, when you've got the gates open and are moving things through them, would you not just lock up my DA dog?! Especially considering hte road we live on is a favourite for people walking their dogs.

He took off, started into it. Mac was following him, Mum yelled. Mac sorta went "oh... what the hell am I doing here?" and ran back inside. Buster flew in, charged it and then turned tail and took off back into the yard.

Mum went out to apoligise to the woman, who luckily wasn't too worried. No damage done except a broken halti and she said it was okay.

I'm so mad though... I'm trying to help Buster. He is my world and this council could kill him for doing this sort of thing.

Seriously, he is DA and if I'm not home and you need to open the gates, just put him away because he isn't really interested in listening to people that don't put much effort into him.

Just three more months and hopefully I can get us some space.

Blargh. That sucks. Hang in there until you can get your own place.

Can he be crated or closed in your room when you aren't there to supervise him?

 

[mrose_s]

Hm... I couldn't crate him because there just isn't enough room for the crate... oh yeah... and because they're "mean". I suppose I could put him in the back of the car. But I know if I even mention locking him away while I'm gone they will take it very personally. I think I'll try it anyway.

People who scrape their fork around the plate.
Eating in bed and leaving crumbs
People who call but don't leave a message.
Wasting food, like when a person takes a full plateful of food and then eat two bites.
People who try to talk to you when you are going to the bathroom.
When you're wearing a hat, after a while it feels like it's not there. When you take it off, it feels like it's still there.
Famous people name their kids stange names.
Tables at restuarants that are next to or in the direct line of view of the restrooms. I don't want to look at and think about people going to the bathroom while I eat.
People who say, "Goddamnit" or "Jesus Christ" when they're angry

At this point, who cares if they take it personally? Buster is your dog, so it is your job to keep him safe and comfortable. Let them be offended. You'll know you are doing the right thing by your dog.

I know how you feel mrose. There were times I thought of buying deadbolts and installing them on my bedroom doors ( my "room" is two rooms joined by a buddy bath, one is reserved for guinea pigs, the other I sleep in) and locking Daisy inside, because the current locks can be picked with a hairpin. With enough yelling though, my mom at least understands that Daisy is not a safe dog when people come to the property and she knows how to handle her. My dad still tells people that "Daisy won't actually do anything." um whaaa?
