we have a rescue weimy who is doing really well at the moment…..but i’ve just had a moment of rage

We live on what is still a building site, and i just took henry out for a quick walk, as he was watering the weeds, one if the builders turned the corner and stopped in front of him to say hello. blocking his way. As henry is still very excitable he jumped up, and as he was coming down the guy stepped back clutching his leg saying that henry had bit him, which made henry stand there and bark at him- to me it looked like he might have scratched him with his claw. But this big guy just stood there clutching his leg and not even looking at it. He said what is he a weimeraner or a rottweiller??? sarcastically. I apologised and said have a look and see if your leg is okay, which he wouldn’t. Then he walked off (okay mind, no sign of a limp or anything), muttering it’s a good job he wasn’t a kid.

Now Henry has had his problems, but biting people isn’t one of them, and this guy did get right in front on henry before i could move him out of the way. I’m just more annoyed that since having henry i’ve noticed how rude, ignorant and annoying other people can be.

Another example was i took henry to the park, and we we strolling along, and suddenly this old lady came whizzing past on her bike. She made me jump, and Henry too, which of course made him bark, as we didn’t hear her coming. She had the cheek to get off her bike and tell me to control my dog better! And if she had been a child it would have been terrified. So i had to turn round and tell her that if she had rung that bell on her bike i would have known she was right behind me, and if i’d had a child where henry was, she probably would have hurt it, as she wouldn’t have seen it. Raaahhhh

How do you peeps handle things like this when they happen?
