Do I Belong to a Rottweiler Now????

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I hardly ever go to the dog park, but Vern was VERY active today and Fudge wanted to sleep, so I decided to take Vern to the dog park. I had not been in the park five minutes, when a Rottweiler came over and peed on my leg. He did not bother Vern. I am not sure what command I used, but I think I told him to get the heck (maybe stronger) away from me. The owner did yell "sorry" from a distance, but that was all he did. I walked around a bit with my dripping leg and my sweet Vern and sure enough, when I turned my back, the stupid dog did it again. Later, he did it to the guy I was talking to. I realize I was at a DOG park and dogs will be dogs, but I would have left if Vern was running around marking half the people there or even one tall woman having a bad hair day. (Vern does not lift his leg at all...just making a point)  Why did that Rottweiler single me out (and the other guy) when I had not interacted in any way with him? He was totally uninterested in Vern and there were tons of people there. I know how I want to end this, but there are guidelines, so I will just say "Am I some Rottweiler's ________ (insert word)

now???"

I have been peed on at a dog park too.  Now I watch how a dog comes up to me.  Luckily, when it happened to me I was wearing shorts and flip flops so it was an easy clean-up.  Still I did not appreciate it.

Oh too funny!  It is bad enough when you want around a dog park you have to watch where you are walking, but now, you have to make sure you are moving around so some dog doesn't take you for a fire hydrant.  Sorry to laugh at your expense, but it is kinda funny.  I am glad, though, that it didn't happen to me!

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

ROTFLMAO - only you (well apparently you, Jane and Nancy). At least I know what to look out for now.

[F, Calla & Luca]

My sympathies! No you are that Rottweiler's worst enemy I hope. How rude!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Our neighbours dogs peed on Quincy's face when he was doing the appropriate sniff greeting but I have never be peed on by a dog, I have to say that I would probably be a little p####$d off, which in my book is better than being p#$$$$$d on any day.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL

[Taylor & Huff]

Once there was a doggie in the crate at our shop (because he was peeing everywhere) and Huff was just looking at him through the bars and then all of a sudden he aimed for hus face and almost peed on his face.

I give you a lot of credit for making this a funny story, Laurie! I'm not sure what I would have done if somebody's dog peed on me, but I do know my reaction would not pass the DK Guidelines! You're definitely a better sport than I am!

I'm sure that in the moment this is happening to you, the last thing that would occur to you is to take a look at what may or may not be still attached to the dog's nether regions, but I'm taking a wild guess that these dogs who mistake humans for fire hydrants are still intact. Which would ban them from many dog parks. Maybe we need to form a nationwide Dog Park Ball Patrol to prevent this kind of thing in the future.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I hope I don't have to be on that Patrol :) There was a lot happening at the dog park today and Vern and I did not stay long. There were many dogs and we witnessed one fight and both owners stayed in the park. Luckily, Vern is happy to stay near me and does not get involved in all that trouble. Someone else had brought in a VERY tiny dog on the big dog side and apparently could not read the sign that said 30 pounds or over. The signs are there for a reason, people!  Young kids were running about and seemed younger than the required age. Vern and I decided we were at a Stupid Fest and just left. We don't go very much any more and I prefer weekdays when less people are there.

[Camilla and Darwin]

I was peed on by a Great Pyrenees at the dog park a couple of months ago. The owner saw and said nothing. Very rude!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

That seems like that could be a lot of pee. You win and are now elected to Karen's Dog Park Ball Control :)

[Donna K & Quincy]

I think that would be a great PEEYRENEES. :>)
