strange people

[Sunflowers]

Same kind of adult idiots who like to tease little kids.

I had all three of my dogs at the fireworks a few summers ago...GSD, Rottie mix, and sheltie. It was just dusk, and all 3 were laying on our blanket under the canopy. 2 "kids" (teenagers) were behind us...the younger one was about 15-16 years old and decided it would be "cool" to bark at the sheltie. He did, and she just stared at him with a questioning look on her face. Unfortunately for the teenagers, they did NOT see the GSD and the Rottie in the dark...until the Rottie exploded from under a lawn chair barking and jumping. The boys screamed like little girls and left the area (quite quickly, as I recall). I don't normally encourage or reward my dogs for that behavior, but in this case? I sure did.

Ive never had anyone do that but i did have to laugh when my first german shepherd who was riding shotgun in the front passenger seat, I pulled up into the turn lane. A guy pulled up to the through lane. He looked over and saw Sarron and said," Hi there pup!" He tilted his head at him then he turned to look at me like," Do we know this guy? " LOL I and the guy were both laughing by the time the light changed. LOL

We stopped off at Tim Hortons and after I got a coffee I took her out if the car for a pee break.

Out of nowhere I see this 50ish year old man who is sitting in his car, start barking at Lola..


At first she looked puzzled, then she walked up to the car.....this umm..."fellow" backed and again and this time she barked back and walked away.lol
What kind of idiot does that ????

I really had to hold back not to speak my mind .

Maybe she understood what the guy was saying to him? Heh! Heh!

OMG ... that's hilarious ... reminds me of this parrot joke:

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you."

Freaked out, he shone his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

"Did you say that?" He hissed at the parrot.

"Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."

The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"

"Moses," replied the bird.

"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses."

"The kind of people that would name a GSD Jesus." he replied.

LOL.... I loved it, thanks for sharing !

I've heard that one before, LOL! Must be a parrot person joke!

On topic... I'd have been worried at someone doing that. You can bet when you have an adult it won't happen as often, LOL!

You can also give her treats in situations like that so the dogs learn that the idiots are good for something.
