Walkin’ the dog

Yes Mr. Wyatt, Ginters is for everyone to enjoy. First of all, I would like to commend you on your use of words. It is obvious your thesaurus receives a workout. It is too bad you do not use it when you scold someone with second-rate expletives.

Yes Mr. Wyatt, Ginters is for everyone to enjoy.

First of all, I would like to commend you on your use of words. It is obvious your thesaurus receives a workout. It is too bad you do not use it when you scold someone with second-rate expletives. Yes, I know who you are and have had the misfortune to witness the distasteful choice of words you have used to express your distaste for another dog coming within 20 metres of you and yours.

Maybe you should pack that thesaurus with you. You wilfully pick your dog up, there is no force or dangerous situation. The way you coddle and enforce fear into your little guy is what causes biters and neurotic behaviour.

Second, I am neither self-absorbed, arrogant nor delusional. I just did not enjoy receiving a verbal barrage of insults while I am holding my dog and petting her dog (who left her side numerous times) while trying to assure her everyone was friendly and she was not in any danger.

There were no sneak attacks, stalking, growling or forceful behaviour. I am sorry for using the word "gang" as describing a group of dogs having informal and usually close social relations ie. - watching TV with the gang or hanging with the gang.

Those negative people like yourself associate gang with a group of persons (dogs) working to unlawful or antisocial ends, especially a band of anti-social adolescents (dogs).

Third, if the lady in question had such a petrified, disabling fear of dogs why go directly to an area that contains the cause of this fear, become astonished when they come to say Hi, panic and then have the audacity to cuss everyone out.

I did not suggest she leave the park, just that she had ample time to exit the park before encountering this great fear of hers. I am sorry Mr. Wyatt, I think you are the one lacking objective reality.

Finally, I do not perceive Ginters as my exclusive turf. I am just tired of the ignorant that think we are a band of thugs because we allow our controlled and trained dogs to walk, run and play
