Fun thread! Whats the craziest thing......

[Guest Anonymous]

that anyone has ever asked/said about your dog (s) ?

I'm new here so I don't know if this has been done before, but I thought it might lighten the mood :)

Ok, I'll start

I have a friend who is, to put it nicely, very ditsy. The first time she met Buster my male AB mix she said, ::drum role please::

"Whats that thing hanging down?" :o (but she was dead serious, had no clue)

I very bluntly told her "Its his p*nis"

I just about died, how can someone be so clueless :-? :lol:

[xavierandrea]

:o :lol: :lol:
My mother bless her heart is scared of my male Asim , she screems and runs when she sees him not because he is big but because she says,
" He is a male and all males want 1 thing no matter what and I am scared he will jump on my backside and do the naughty!!." I'm like, Ma give me a break!! Poor Ma...

[drjeffrock]

About Kira... "Is that a bear?!?!?" "Is she on Prozac or something?" (Because she is very mellow with people. She doesnt get all excited about people she doesnt know.)

About Dexter "How old is she? How much does she weigh?" (She is a he :lol: )
Heck, the first two weeks we brought Dex home from the shelter, I was calling him a girl. :oops:

I probably posted this here before, but here goes:

Hailey has one white/blue eye and one cracked brown eye, and I wish I had a dollar for everytime someone asked me if she was blind or going blind.

since she is a husky/beagle mix I have had a least 2 people ask me if she is a minature husky She weighs about 45 pounds and 35 of that is ALL chest......I guess most people might even say she is a little funny looking, but I sure love her :P

At the boarding kennel...lady drops off her dog for boarding...while I am putting it away I come back out to confirm day she will be picking up. The owner asks if we give the dogs water while they are in boarding, because her dog needs water... :o :roll: I was really caught off guard with this question...of course I assured her that all dogs in boarding have a bucket of fresh water changed daily...I mean what did she think... that she was going to leave her dog with us for 2 weeks and we werent going to give it water??? perhaps we cunning little kennel people are devising new ways of cutting our work load down...a dog without water isnt going to pee...so no hosing the kennel daily...this one really still stumps me.

Once on a walk a gentleman came up to admire my dogs...he asked if I had a big barn for all of them...I said, no, they all sleep in bed with me...the man was outraged and stated that a Newfoundland dog should not be in the house at all and that it was cruel for a big coated dog to be indoors....I retorted to the man that no, its cruel to keep a dog out side...they are group animals and require socialization and being with thier family...and another thing I said is that in the spring I blow all of the undercoat out of my Newf's...so actually they stay just as cool as my Rottie and Dobie. I wasn't looking for a fight so I just walked away...he is probably the type who owns the dog which is chained out 24/7 365 days of the year...people like that really tick me off.

Other than these situations I can't think of many more...I usually hang around doggy people who have much more experience than me and we walk in remote areas.

One more thing :lol:
when I got my first dobie about 20 years ago I was told by numerous people that their brains out grow their skulls and they ended up either turning on their owner or going mental.... :roll:

Oh, one more...a vet at the clinic I work at took some pups and mom home with her (momma was an SPCA pick up-previously abused) the pups were born at the vet clinic and the vet thought it would be nice for the mom and pups to be in a nice home....she brought them back the next day and was quite upset....we asked her why...she stated that the mother had growled at her 3 children :roll: come on, get real....a mother with new born pups, taken to a strange home and then having numerous people including children coming to see her and maul the pups....I was really shocked this came from a Vet...even my Tori, who whelped in a secure place would only allow "certain" people around her pups....she would growl at the breeders husband and the breeders sister...I mean, a person who knows dogs should know a mother dog can be overly protectvie...I'll tell ya, it brought this vet down a few pegs in my eyes.

[imported_Kat]

I had Meg in a down flat stay in the park while I went to put my training bag back into the car. When I got back there was a crowd around her and I thought uh oh whats going on. One of the doggy brigade (group of wee old ladies and men with wee dogs :lol: ) said to me that she thought the wee collie dog had a wee turn and wasn't alive. I said the magic word "free" and Meg bounced up from her "dead" position and wondered what all the fuss was about :lol: . While they had all gathered around her, she hadn't moved at all hehe

[gooeydog]

People always call Goo a male.. my favorites are the ones that ask some form of "you have any pups off him?" :roll: or reveal themselves to be BYBs... you'd think if they know that much, they'd take the couple seconds to note that Goo is sorely missing boy parts :lol:

Yesterday we went for a walk, stopped to pick up a friend, one of their relatives, and the relative's little boy to come along... when he came out of the house, he stopped, pointed at Haley, and exclaimed, "that a PIG!" :o

Someone at the dog training place we take Hale and Annie to told me that dachshunds are double jointed in their back legs, that's why they run so fast :roll:

[mydogroxy]

"is that a blue pit bull?"

while looking at roxy, a fawn and white rednose.

[imported_Debbie]

I've been asked by many people if Sassy and Maisy are the same breed..... :o
I reply "Yes, they're both Jack Russell Terriers, why do you ask ?"

They say " Because they're different colors" :tard:

I wish we had an emoticon that smacked his head and fainted !!!
Because that would be me !!! :roll: :lol:

[courtnek]

well, I had a drunk berate me for having a "vicious Pitbull" (Laurel, on a leash, afraid of her own shadow) Now this dog, to anyone unfamiliar, is a Foxhound...how he got Pit out of that (unless it was from the bottle) I'll never know.

One of my neighbors called Animal Control when she heard Laurel baying (not a lot of hounds in this neck of the woods) and thought she was in pain....

Freebee is often mistaken as a purebred Lab...she looks alot like one, altho anyone with a real purebred Lab could tell the difference. She is not stranger-friendly. When I tell people not to approach her without my permission, they say "What did you do to make her so mean?" :roll: :roll:

the best one though. I still crack up about this one...

My cat used to be 18 lbs. fat, with a thyroid condition that is now controlled.
I had him in his crate once at the vet, and someone asked me (cuz his head was facing away from this person) if that was one of those "pot-bellied pigs..."

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Queen Bitch]

I used to get told ( and imagine I will again soon once I get my pup) what was wrong with my male Dalmatians or what they were mixed with since they were liver spotted Dals and "everybody knows" that Dalmatians only have black spots.

Oh and PBLove, you don't have to censor your posts here unless they are REALLY bad words. :wink: You can use all the proper terms for some (including some slang as long as it isn't too bad) and people named Dick can be referred to as well. :lol:

Court, You saw my post with the JRT sign and my cat Kato ?
He weighs 19lb. at 2yr. old. He weighs as much as Maisy !! :o
He has a rock hard body like a bulldog. :oops:
I have an appt. at the Vet for him, just to make sure there isn't anything wrong with him. (He's neutered and he only gets dry cat food) :wink:

[courtnek]

I'm sure he's fine. some cats are just BIG...mine was about 5 lbs overweight, due to this thyroid, but he's 14 years old too....

having a cat as big as a dog is funny. Mine is bigger than the Chi's next door, and has the attitude to go with his size. In a brawl, my cat would win...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[bk_blue]

I can't think of many instances. There are two that I can recall. One was with BK, because he has a blue merle pattern on his face, chest and belly, people think he's a Dalmatian. Even though his whole back is JET BLACK. The number of people who go, "oooh look at the pretty Dalmatian!" or "there's one of those spotty dogs" is funny.
The other was with Rinny (GSD X)- in his younger days he looked just like a full-blooded Shepherd, but a little smaller- one day someone said he was a dingo (he didn't look anything like one!) and refused to believe otherwise- so it stuck, and we started telling everyone he was a dingo just to take the piss. :lol:

[Daisysmom]

" He is a male and all males want 1 thing no matter what and I am scared he will jump on my backside and do the naughty!!." I'm like, Ma give me a break!! Poor Ma...

I have no good stories, but that cracked me up!!!!

[Sharpeigirl]

Here's one:


I had Apollo & Zeus at the vets office and someone asked me if they where brothers :o Apollo is a rottie & Zeus is a GSD I died :lol: :lol:

[imported_Cassie]

Here is another stupid thing people say..."as soon as I walked in the door I knew he did some thing wrong...he had "that" guilty look"...we hear this alot at the grooming shop...I am waiting for the day that all dog owners will realize that the dog looks guilty when the owner comes home as it is anticipating the owners anger for some thing once again who knows what, but, the dog comes not to trust the owner...the owner becomes so unpredictable to the dog that the dog starts displaying submissive behavior when the owner returns which in turn is interpreted by the owner as being guilty. The day a dog thinks that ripping apart a cushion, eating a house plant or getting into the garbage is wrong...or would even remember what it had done or associate it with the impeding unpredicatable behavior of the owner is the day we will have little 4 legged humans...they are not humans, they do not understand our language...they depend on our tone of voice and body language. They have done research on seperation aniexty which shows that some dogs with seperation aniexty actually start displaying the stress just before the owner is due to come home...the dog is stressed out by the fact that it does not know what kind of mood the owner is going to be in.

This just drives me nuts....

[courtnek]

OK, I havta kinda forgive the drunk....I just saw a dog on animal planet that is DEFINETLEY a cross betwen a foxhound and a Bully dog. leg length, dew claws, huge paws and ankles, and a bully head. ears hung down, but definetley Bully breed....

Fhounds have these HUGE catlike feet...and knobby ankles, and dewpads
(with or without the claws) they are very distinctive. This dog had ALL of that, and the tri-color markings, with a Bully head...

[Horsefeathers!]

Had someone comment on the long haired Pit Bulls (Standard Poodles, actually) in the back of my car at a gas station. :-?

I also get asked allllllllll the time why I don't breed them. Aside from the fact that they're both altered, they're both males and while they adore each other, I don't think they're interested in doing the humpty dance.

At the same gas station today, I had Rocco in the back seat and I was inside paying for gas. I had pulled the car around by the front door where I could watch. This kid (teen-ish) walked by the car and didn't notice Rocco at first, but then he did and freaked. Then his mother came into the store raising all kinds of holy h*ll and saying something like "that dog can come right through that window! why on earth would someone park a dog like that right next to the building with the window down?? he could hurt someone!" She didn't know me as the owner while she was ranting right by me. The only thing I said was that I would sing hallelujah if he DID jump through that window. Boy, was she angry, but I owed her no explanation. That's her own grey hair and ulcers she's earning if she wants to stress out that much over a dog that's just sitting and minding his business. I feel like some people are just looking for things to be upset about, so I just let her be upset without offering any explanations. What's weird is that when I have Devin with me, people ALWAYS want to try to reach in and pet him since he's small and "cute." What they don't know is that Devin will cheerfully sever the hand of anyone who dares reach inside the car. Outside the car, he's a love, but inside he's quite "territorial." I NEVER leave the windows down when Devin's in it.

[courtnek]

you dont owe ANY of them explanations, HF...but maybe you should have..just to make her feel as STUPID as humanly possible...
