Just thought of another one! Most people love to see me walking all the dogs and make silly comments about it that are never original, but are always nice. Then there are the folks that know how to do it better. More often than not they are accompanied by a snarling canine who they cannot get under control. So I always take their advice with a boulder of salt. I was walking my group of ten yesterday when we passed a woman who was talking from her truck to some people on their porch. The woman on the porch points to us and makes mention of so many dogs walking so nicely while getting along so well. This causes the woman in the truck to roll her passenger side window down and behind it happens to be a dog who begins snarling and barking at us. While her dog is acting a damn fool she hails me so she can give me advice.
WIT: There's a dog park right down the street you know.
Me: Yeah! I've heard of it!
WIT: It's a really nice one!
Me: I'll be sure to check it out some time.
WIT: Just go check it out now and let all those dogs go!
Me: Uh, no, that's not really how this works, some of these dogs can't handle that setting and there are rules against more than three dogs per person. I'll be sure to check it out though. Thanks!
WIT: You'll be fine! No one is going to bother you.
Me: Um... Yeah... I'm not doing that.
WIT: (getting agitated) They all get along fine! Look at them! They'll do great!
Me: Um. No. They won't.
WIT: I just don't see why you would walk them all like that when you have a perfectly good dog park right up the street.
Me: I'm okay with it. Some of these dogs can not handle it anyway.
WIT: It makes sense to take them there! It's for dogs! I just think you're stupid to walk all those dogs like that!
Me: Yeah. Okay then... Have a great day!
Most people aren't as shitty as her, but everyone has a little piece of info that they truly believe is priceless and original. For the most part, I pretend they are all brilliant, smile big and thank them up and down. Why burst their bubble?
