fight at park!

[mydogroxy]

but not between dogs. i almost punched some woman in the face. first she let her dog run up to roxy and didn't even realize. i had to yell for her to get her dog under control. then later on, she tells me that she and the other irresponsible owners are coming to where roxy and i were, so i'd better take my dog somewhere else. i pointed out the big signs saying dogs must be leashed and curbed, but things just went downhill. i called her a few choice names and told her to go f-herself. she told me i looked like a hooker and said she hoped their dogs ran up to roxy (which confused me). unfortunately i did say something i should have, along the lines of their dogs not have a good experience if they ran up to roxy. but i was maaaad.

i did call the cops and the parks department, but no one wanted to help. i'll get them though. :evil:

next time, instead of "choice words", simply tell her that the park rules require leashes...If you dont put your dog on a leash, I will report you to the park supervisors, and you wont be able to come here anymore.

THAT might get her attention, even if the park doesnt respond. SHE doesnt know they wont..

it's called "political infighting..."

:D

Next time I'd tell her that if she cannot control her dog, you will be forced to take steps to ensure the safety of yourself and your dog, as there's no telling what an offleash, out of control dog may do.

I had a little incident myself last Friday, the AB around the block (4 or 5 fights with other neighborhood dogs to his credit, courtesy of his horribly irresponsible and incompetant owner) caught me and Goo on a walk (I rounded a corner, saw him, and turned around to leave, but he saw us), and I ended up having to shut Goo and myself into some stranger's yard to keep him away from her. When I got home, I called AC, got no answer, no answer, then when I did finally get through on Monday, they told me they wouldn't do anything unless there had been damage done, or the dog was still loose. I was hoping that maybe it was a fluke, and the dog just escaped by accident, but last night we had to detour yet again when the dog came flying down the street we were heading towards, off-leash, no owner in sight. Next time I see him and don't have a dog, I'm going to tell him what happened, and suggest he do something about the dog before it hurts someone elses pet or gets hurt itself.

Where was the park? I'm in NJ, and I sure as hell would like to avoid there if I can :o !

[mydogroxy]

it's on the border of jersey city and union city. palisade ave and 2nd street.

[Lokipups]

:o I know where that is, I'm not far from there myself.

:lol: :lol: :lol: at Mei Mei - I've now got visions of people throwing poo at each other at the park and I can't stop laughing :lol:

Personally, I would have probably slapped the mess out of her which would NOT have been smart. My temper gets me into all sorts of trouble.

haha. generally i'm very calm and unconfrontational. normally i would have just walked away without saying a word, but she was being so rude to me for no reason. she called me a hooker for godsakes!
