What do you do when the dog gets all up in your area? Smile? Say "Oh, no it's okay.. hi puppy.." or do you say "NO!!!!!!!!!!!" and give the animal AND owner a look of disgust, then fart on the dog? You can let them both know you are uncomfortable, with just a look, if you feel too shy to be communicatively vocal about it. |
I just step back and move on and try not to give them a chance to make any contact with me whatsoever. I'd rather not make every encounter with an obnoxious animal and its owner, which constitute most of my enounters with animals out in public, to be a battle. I was just saying that it would be nice if people were a little more respectful of personal boundaries when it comes to their pets. Not everyone wants to be jumped on and licked. Fucking grotz.
