In this case, dog owner's daughter was locked into one upmanship and being stunned that you had the courage and persistence to express your views re her insensitivity and failure to cooperate in alleviating a little girl's fears, or to engage her in discussion at all. Nice going. I admire your lifetime crusade to educate the world on such matters. Interestingly, her dad knew to keep the dogs away , without a flinch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557928558578780512.post-60116607373699256842009-04-15T12:27:00.000-07:002009-04-15T12:27:00.000-07:00Wow.

But the dogs stay on the perimeter of the play area- where the parental benches are. Not in the actual playspace. <br /><br />But beyond that... the fact that you asked nicely that they give you special consideration because your daughter was obviously freaked out... that should have been the end of it. I feel bad for the guy with the dogs because he just might be living with that wretch of a woman.Eternal Lizdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844959718198383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557928558578780512.post-18997009502346428372009-04-15T11:02:00.000-07:002009-04-15T11:02:00.000-07:00How's about the fact that they were, in fact, hurt...How's about the fact that they were, in fact, hurting someone (your kid)? I love my dog, but I hardly think that she has the same rights as a human. Sorry. She's a dog. When we have people over, she's put somewhere we're not. Why should *my* choosing to have a dog impact anyone else? Heck, A is terrified of other dogs. Like full body shaking, hands in mouth, face frozen in fear. And she HAS a dog.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02985615916783160489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557928558578780512.post-56526616285538648712009-04-15T08:05:00.000-07:002009-04-15T08:05:00.000-07:00How could she have no compassion for an upset litt...How could she have no compassion for an upset little girl? Messed up. That woman obviously has no "real" problems if things like this get her so worked up.

If the dog is straining, it either isn't comfortable or is WAY to excited to be trusted around kids. Second, why would you bring a dog onto a playground (only exception I can think of is service dogs or dogs being trained to be service dogs)? People can be so incredibly thoughtless. I'm so glad you gave that woman a piece of your mind- she deserved it! I don't know where she gets off being upset anyways- they weren't even her dogs!Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11255953852708183735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557928558578780512.post-76333618418613371322009-04-14T17:12:00.000-07:002009-04-14T17:12:00.000-07:00Hats off to you for not using swear words, cause I...Hats off to you for not using swear words, cause I'm sure I would have had several flying out of my mouth!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953821261983661059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557928558578780512.post-11942545396353954502009-04-14T16:43:00.000-07:002009-04-14T16:43:00.000-07:00Gosh, the lady had a nerve, huh?
