sucky people

i'm a little miffed. btw, one of the main reasons i get depressed is when people let me down. especially people i know and are close tome. but i also get sad when total strangers act like assholes for no reason. it's amazing how people can treat other people sometimes. this is teeny little example, so it's not really a big deal but i have seen it happen on a much larger scale. anyways, this morning i attempted to exercise. of course, it is never that easy. i wanted to ride my bike but the tires are flat so i went looking for the tire pump in my dad's garage - which after 30 mins. of digging through old dusty dirty buggy crap i couldn't find anything capable of inflation. defeated, i went back home and got bibi on a leash to take her for a walk. i didn't even reach the end of the driveway before i met an ugly neighbor. some lady was walking her samoyed - big fluffy white dog - and her dog was whining and howling cause she wanted to meet bibi. so the lady waited at the end of the driveway while i finished putting bibi on her leash (she can slip her head out so i had to tighten the collar a bit). i walked up to the lady with bibi and she asked me if bibi was friendly. i said she was friendly - and the lady said her dog likes other white dogs, and i said i think bibi likes other white dogs, too. meanwhile, bibi and her dog are sniffing each other. well, i think the lady's dog was trying to do a dominance stance because she stacked up her shoulders and kind of looked down on bibi with an arched neck (i know this cause i see louie do it all the time - taller dogs like to "look down" on other dogs). well, bibi don't take that shit (i'll pounce on you like chiggers, ho!) and she curled up her lip a little and snapped her teeth. immediately i said, bibi no - no snapping! and she was fine. as soon as i stood back up (i had bent down a little) the lady was already halfway down the block. she didn't say a thing - just walked away. i just stood there for a minute wondering what just happened. then i realized the woman just dissed me. i couldn't believe it. i go to the dog park all the time and have never had a problem with my dogs fighting. sometimes they get into brawls when another dog is trying to dominate them - but not always. bibi is very mellow but she does not like to be dominated, not by strange dogs. she will curl her lips and show her teeth as a warning. but that lady booked it. i could understand if she was worried about her 80 lb dog's safety but she could have said something. like maybe - oh maybe our dogs don't like each other as well as we thought and just backed away (i pulled bibi close to me so she can't lunge). instead, she probably thought - oh that's a pit bull - they can't be trusted - their owners are so irresponsible - those are such vicious dogs! grrr. i hate it when people choose to be ignorant. it's not like every dog gets along with each other. breed has nothing to do with it. i could have had a chihuahua out there who didn't like her samoyed and it would have been the same thing. i really don't like my neighbors. we haven't met a single one that was nice yet.
