During the weekend, I went to Kings Plant Barn with a man I am quite fond of, but who shall remain nameless.
As we drove in, a couple were getting out of their station wagon and the woman went round to the back of the car and bought a medium sized black Lab out.
The commentary beside me began. One sided, as I don't really care if people bring their dogs…. anywhere really….. except inside my own house…. I am dog tolerant.
……" why do people bring their dogs to places like this?"
"imagine if we bought Bear, imagine the size of her poops, (not the word used), imagine them having to get the front end loader to clean up after her"
(This is true. Disgustingly so! When we hit those dog mines with the mower, it is not a pretty sight!)
"what if the dog got away on them and bit someone?" (Or more in Bears case, slobbered on someone and they drowned in her goobs)
"what if it was a male dog and it peed (not the word used) on everything?" (nothing to add here, never owned a male dog)
"people really are stupid! Maybe their house is being robbed right now?" (yes, but at least no one would steal the dog?????!!!)
"whats the point in having a dog and then taking it away from where it should be protecting?" (Errrr, somewhat like Bear protects our house ……..???????? Oh yeah, you shake in your boots, you wanna be burglars!!!!!)
"oh, look at that, do they have a car seat for that dog too? Damn townies!"
The owners continued to bring their dog round the side of the car and the man arrived with a collar and lead. He knelt down, chatted to and smooched the dog and began to put the leads on the rather well behaved dog. The muttering continued from beside me as we parked and began to get out of the car.
Next thing you know the BLIND man put the SEEING EYE HARNESS on the SEEING EYE DOG and with his white cane made his way around the side of the car, to which I exploded into belly shaking delight!!!!
I could hardly breath and I spluttered "karma just kicked your negative arse!!!" and then to many more uncontrollable gaffawwws, that had the blind man sensing the sound waves and both he and dog were looking around for the explosion. The sound waves of complete and utter unravelling were coming from our car!!!!
"serves you right, BAZINGA!" (thanks Sheldon) I crowed! Very seldom getting one over this particular man!
I loved it. For the rest of the day (and for eternity, actually) my response to anything negative will always be, "and then the seeing eye dog got out of the car!"
Yep, those times you wish you had just shut the ……… heck up! But for a change……… NOT ME!
