An open letter.

[theweaselking]

Dear owner of the snausage-with-legs that attacked Piper:

Your pug has been returned in one piece because my dog, unlike yours, responds to voice control and knows that I am allowed to take food away from her.

By "food", of course, I mean "your dog, after it bit her".

Piper now gives me this look because I took her squeaky wriggling meat toy away:



Obedience and socialisation training: Just because I *can* grab your dog and chuck it like a football does not mean I should have to.

No love,
Me.

(For the record: No harm done, to either participant. Defective fuzzy rat-creature returned to apologetic owner. Piper now distracted by The Mystery Of Is There A Squirrel and once again all is right in her mayonnaise-witted little doggy world.)

Depending on your existing relationship with this person, it might be better if you dropped off a note or brochure to a local training school (where better is defined as most likely to lead to her finding out how to train her dog and doing so). Otherwise it might come off as (regardless of intent) "I have come to tell you that you are Doing It Wrong and I Know Better". And while it may be true, people generally don't respond well to things they read as being told "You're Doing It Wrong".
