Sweet Son had a rather disturbing encounter with a neighbor yesterday when he was out chasing our goofy escaped poodle... rather than trying to help him corral the big lovable dork, this man and his wife chose to stand in their yard and scream at and threaten SS, despite him trying to explain that he was NOT walking the dog off his leash (which is what they apparently thought), he was trying to CATCH him. They even repeatedly threatened to call the police, which is almost comical considering the completely non-threatening demeanors of both my dog AND Sweet Son.
SS doesn't get rattled easily, but this clearly rattled him... and upset me for several reasons. First, it is so not indicative of most of our neighborhood (thank goodness). Second, I firmly believe if it had been an adult chasing the dog they would not have reacted the same... I can't stand people who automatically assume teenagers are bad just because they are teenagers. Third, take some anger management courses. people! Good grief... life is too short to get flipped out over your dang GRASS.
