Just had the craziest thing happen on a walk. This young guy walked up to me and asked about Saxon. The normal stuff, his breed, age, etc. Then he asked, "How is he with other dogs?" Still pretty standard, a lot of people ask, given the reputation. "He loves other dogs," says I. He responded with, "Well, he's still young..." That's when I realized there was something a bit off with this conversation. So I said, "We should be going, have a good one," and started to walk past him. He turned to me and said the craziest sh!t I have ever heard in my life, "Look. You're a pretty girl. You should have a girl dog. My sister's chihuahua just had a litter. I am willing to trade you one of the chihuahuas for your dog."  I just stared at him for a while, my face probably similar to the smiley above. "No, I'm serious, this ain't no joke." That snapped me out of it. "You have got to be out of your mind because it is absolutely BIZARRE and INSANE to offer to trade for someone's PET! This is my PET, he is my FRIEND! He's not like a car that I would just trade in for a newer model! No! I don't want your sister's g*****n chihuahua." Then I turned around and walked away. I did hear him mutter "b*tch" under his breath, and that is fine by me. If a b*tch is someone who cares about her pets and isn't afraid to speak up about them, then I am a Mega B*tch. |

Girl dog....Girl dog....What, he thinks that a dog has to be the size of a puntable football before a female can handle it?
I would'nt trade Saxon for one of those yappers in a million years...
I feel my own B**tchy side coming on.
I think I would have responded with
"Oh no thanks, I can handle my dog just fine, you however look like a chihuahua would fit you perfectly, have a nice day!"

Wow that is crazy. I'm glad that is all he said/did. He would be the type of guy in my area who would try to snatch my dog out of my hands.

LOL I thought that was going to end differently....what a whacko!! Years ago I was walking Murphy at night on a fairly busy road when I sensed some guy rapidly approaching from behind. I moved over to let him pass, and he passed and immediately slowed down. Ugh. He started asking strange questions about my dog, how friendly he was ,etc. The guy was really shady, and I made a turn at the next block just to get away from him. The next day I see him on the local news..Garden District Flasher arrested! LMAO! The dude was totally going to flash me LOL. What a freak. Glad that this guy didn't try and grab Saxon or flash you ;-)

I had a slightly similar experience. I was walking my youngest blue American Bully one day back in CA and had a younger guy ask me why I own a "fighting dog" That I'm too pretty to own such a crazy dog.
You never met a B!@#$, till you met me. Trust me. My own husband fears me. People are SO stupid. However, I own a Chihuahua(not a yapper) myself as well as my pitties and ambullies
and she's the "crazy" one. She pisses everywhere and hates my husband and any man that tries to touch her.
I've also had a few people come at me saying "hey i got a [insert random color] nose pitbull, let's breed our dogs.. you get first pick of the litter"
Nice try.
When walking now, I have headphones and pretend to be in a zone. No time to talk! lol

Hey, it isn't just the women who meet nuts on the street. ( I agree that the chauvinistic condescension here was appalling, however!) I had two guys who thought they were real Pit Bull experts express regret that my old Silly Hillary, a 30lb StafffyBull X Rat Terrier Mix, was spayed, since they were hoping I'd let them mate her with their huge lunker of an outsized Pit Bull. A plainly crazy woman wanted me to just GIVE her my old Heather Marie. She was so creepy that when she asked if she could just hold her leash I of course bluntly refused. People give me the willies sometimes!

I would have laughed in the guy's face. There is no way I would have been able to stay serious after that idiotic proposal.
CA, best retort ever!!!!!

I'm really curious how did this play out in this guy's mind?!
Him: "You pretty girl, you need a girl dog!"
Cat: "You know what, you are sooo right! People tend to think I'm a boy because I have this silly boy dog!"

Glad that this guy didn't try and grab Saxon or flash you ;-) Had that happen once, without the dog and came up with " Uh, um, sorry I don't do miniatures". With random nuts on the street never underestimate the power of telling your Pookins firmly " It's OKAY" when someone comes near you especially at night. If you say it right guys will immediately step out in the street, walk across the street, turn around and go the other way ...you know that they're considering that Pookins might decide it is NOT okay...heeheehee |

Yeah, I've said, "Watch Him," or "Leave Him," before when people looked sketchy, but this guy just looked like your typical Maine college student. Till he opened his mouth...
