love4Luna Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Seriously?! I just about knocked a man into next week. I just got back from town and had just let Luna outside. Some guy driving down the road just stops, backs up, and pulls up to my house. The conversation went like this: Guy. "Beautiful dog there. Boy or girl?" Me. "Thank you, she's a girl." Guy. "So how much you want for her?" Me. "Excuse me?" Guy. "I'll give you $300 for the dog" Me. "Sorry, she's not for sale" Guy. "OK. $500, cash. Right here, right now." Me. "I just said NO. She is not for sale, now please leave before I have you escorted off my property." Guy. "YOU STUPID B****! WHAT THE **** IS YOUR PROBLEM?! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A #%%&&$$ $%%#!! ?%&$$..... ...%&$!?$& $?&#!% &$$?!&# %*%$ %#!... As he gets back in his truck & drives off. I reported it. But seriously??? Wow. Who DOES that! Am I gonna have some crazed psycho stalking my dog now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Doesn't every husky owner have a psycho stalker ??? Seriously though, I'd keep a close eye on things for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrittanyNicole Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 The nerve of some people. I agree, keep an eye out for that psycho. Any sight of him call the police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeonah Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'd report the incident to the police straight away. That way if anything else happens they should be on top of it without all the questions before hand. Certainly keep a close eye out for a while. Also be aware that if he was planning doing anything he may leave it a little while unless he's a total dork, in which case, he'll do whatever straight away. Don't want to worry you but people like him see young ladies as an easy target. Be a bit streetwise and don't let him get the upper hand. Good luck and let's hope that you've done enough to see him off. Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love4Luna Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Guess I'll be coming outside with Luna with my air pistol for awhile. It just shoots BBs, but it sure looks like the real deal... And I did report it to the police right after he stormed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterchillz Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 What the heck is wrong with people lately?! I haven't got such a "deal", but when I let people pet Ares they're always like "Aw, why do you keep him on a leash? Here, let me take it off!" WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING?! How could someone even think of unleashing someone's else dog?! Grr. Take care, Amber, hope it was just a one time story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkyries Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 i tell people there working dogs not pets and they stay away, take care don't leave her alone xxxxxxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*jax* Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 That sounds like an awful experience. I had a problem with two drunk guys one evening. They stopped to pet Elka but i soon realised they were trying to get her collar over her head and the other was fiddling with her clip. I didn't say anything but held her collar with my hand over the clip. They soon moved on and i have avoided walking to the same way now as the road has three pubs in. Hope you and your dog stay safe x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I'd be more worried than angry tbh... these days it's just not safe anymore I'd keep an eye out.... I do hope he won't come back though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_Caity Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 WOW! I would've had more than a mouthful to give him, disrespectful S.O.B! While we were on the bus with Nika once, this lady was fussing her and all of a sudden just said 'here, it's okay, I'll grab her' and snatched the lead straight out of my hands! We made sure we got off at the next stop just to get her off Nika! We've been offered thousands over the past few months for the pack, individually and all together, makes me sick to think that it could actually work with some dog owners! -Caity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm sure its worked on some people. But who does that?! "Oh you like my dog, and you'll give me how much? Sure!" And hands over leash...

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I had some kids ask me if skyla was having puppies today , said no she's just a big dog which she is but even if she was pregnant I wouldn't have admitted to it u don't know if they are just being curious or have been told to 'scope out' any big dogs they see :-/ it's really bad when u can't trust anyone you talk to now days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmscott Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 If I caught someone fiddling with Nana's collar I tell them to get the hell away from my dog before I tase their a**. I would be beyond ticked. Granted we are expecting to pick up a CAS this winter and creepsters wont get close enough to mess with Nana.

Mobezilla Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I had someone snatch Yuki's leash out of my hand to try to drag her towards him to pet her as a puppy. There's a reason I've had such trouble socializing her with people, and its not because I never took her places (because I took her TONS of places), its because stupid people would always set back my training. It's gotten to the point where I can't even be polite with people anymore when they try to talk to me about my dogs because I never know what kind of idiots are out there waiting to steal them. I always try to mention first thing in the conversation that they're all spayed/neutered, even if it gives me strange looks, its gotten people to almost immediately leave me alone.
