Something happened yesterday at the vet that p!ssed me off, but it also hurt my feelings. Hans is our GSD who came to us about six weeks ago as a rescue. I love him to bits and he is so wonderful!
While at the vet yesterday, Hans was great. He never pulled away from me, sat right at my feet and didn't make a peep. We had an extended wait and there were tons of people, dogs and cats there.
This man came out with the ugliest cat I have ever seen. It was white and they had shaved its whole body, leaving a mane and foot fluff. It was nasty. Anyway, it was crated and the man sat on the same side of the office as me and Hans. Hans NEVER even looked at the cat. He was watching the door. He did not growl, lick his lips, nothing.
I smiled at the man, noticed the cat, and then looked away. After about five minutes, the guy got up, and said, "I think maybe we should move over here. Your dog doesn't like the kitty"
The man got up, walked right in front of us and went to the other side of the room!
Hans didn't do anything! He was behaved much better than ALL the other dogs there. So, what gives? I just looked at the man like he was an idiot. I didn't know what to say.
This is the first time this has happened. Do you have any similar experiences and if so, how do you handle this?
