People who annoy me, pt. 1

I'm making this post a part 1 because I just have the sneaking suspicion that I will find a few more people in life that annoy me and will warrant a blog post about it.

This post is for those people who don't control their pets. The following scenario has happened to me twice now:

Standing in line checking out at the pet store. The next thing I know Kaiya has been licked from chin to forehead by the ugliest, most slobbery dog on the planet. And the owner, who has the dog on the leash is not intervening!!! As I scoop Kaiya up and hold the line up while I wash her face with baby wipes, the owner laughs -- "oh you silly dog," not apologizing or acknowledging that their animal just french kissed my child. I think they think that it is so cute that their dog loves kids so much.

Two times this has happened to me!!! And the best part is that you KNOW had my child pulled their dog's tail they would have asked me to get control of my child. I think I am going to start giving Kaiya self-defense lessons against canines. And I promise I'm not a dog hater... this just annoys me. :)

Anyone else have funny kid/animal stories?

How about the guy that walks his dog in the neighborhood and then looks around while he takes his dog to the grassy center island in the middle of the court to do the doggie doodie there. I mean, hey, why pick up the doodie since you know that grassy island doesn't really belong to one of the neighbors, right? So the island becomes like a giant doggie bathroom. With all of the associated land mines. Grrrr!

I can't believe anyone would just let their dog lick a baby's face and think that is ok!!!

i'm a totally dog lover and have two labs... 65 lbs and 75 lbs... I let them like Jake because he's my kid, but I would never let them lick another child! It's just rude!

Gross! Although, remember, a dog's mouth is cleaner than ours..at least that's what they say...

Rachel, if you ever come visit us, be forewarned - my dog is a jumper and a licker! But we do try to control her and I wouldn't let her lick children I didn't know in a pet store. Some friends had their little boy over here one time and Bailey was licking his face and HE was sticking his tongue out to lick her, too. GROSS! His dad put a stop to that pretty quickly...
