Alright this is kinda a vent but hey im still tence from it all.
Alst night I decided i would call a friend of my brothers (his name is Kyle) who I though was fairly knowledgable with Huskies and other sled dog breeds and see if he could come out here today and help me with the dogs today since he had offered before. So he said he would and so thought great and asked if he could be here around 6:00 and he told me he could.
The reason I called him in the first place was because I have been pretty worn out these last couple days and i just figured help with cleaning out the barn would be great. So Kyle doesent get here until 7:45...... And im thinking ok not a problem even though I had done all the morning feedings already. So He comes in the barn and doesent say anything about being late so i don't say anything to him. Finally he asks what I would like him to do? So i took him just to go into the equipment room and get a few harnesses and pairs of booties and put them on the dogs. So he goes in and goes into Babies pen to put on her harness and booties while im workig with Stinker getting his on. Suddenly I see Kyle yank Baby really hard by her coller and yelled for her to stand
. So I go " What do you think your doing?!" and he looks at me all angry and goes " she would'nt hold still maybe if you did'nt coddle her so much she would obey!" So that did i went off on how Baby listens just fine and that she did'nt know him as well as me and maybe he would have taken a a few seconds to let her make sure he was "ok" there probley would'nt have been a problem. I also finnished that dogs don't need to be forced into listening with physical force and that i don't hit or yank my dogs and that if he insisted on doing that then he could just go.
Sure enough he did leave after slaming down her halter on the ground and scaring her half to death. Not leaving though before he said that this is exactly what he expected from a women musher . How old world is that???? I then said a few not to lady-like things to him and then retreated back to the barn to get a late start on our morning work out.
I am just so shaken by this I have known this guy my whole life and he's never treated me like this before. But whatever I got everything done here on my own and I like it better that way (no one upsetting me). Sorry i just had to vent.
