Some days are easier than others. I’m glad you are okay and didn’t end up road pizza because of someone’s silly mistake.

As much as I’m sure you wanted to tell that lady in a not-so-nice way to watch where she was going, it probably would not have done either of you any good. For one, you’re right. She probably just made a mistake… something we all do from time to time. For another, she probably realized her mistake and it frightened her as much as it did you. And for another, if you had called something out that she heard, it probably would have put her on the defensive and her brain would have been too busy justifying her actions to recognized her mistake.

How scary. I’m VERY impressed with your ability to stay calm in that situation. My reaction would’ve been a “finger wave” or shouting something probably! Yeesh.

Honey sounds like the perfect role model for the foster pups who have been lucky enough to find themselves in your care.

I don’t freak out about stuff. Even with kids and pets and a mom with cancer. There’s just no point for me to stress over things. I figure it will just make things worse!

When our puppy Luke first came home, our Golden Sheba simply avoided him. I guess just walking away is also a way of dealing with things! She has since become very patient with him, and just like Honey, learned to ignore him when he’s climbing on her and being annoying. At other times they are playing together like they are both puppies.
There certainly is a lot to learn from our dogs!

Go figure. I will have to try this.

The picture with the face-pawing and gnawing beagle proves out the point that Honey is beyond tolerant! I’ve seen this in both Brooks and Ike, who let Kelly boss them around. Ike tries to play Bitey Face with Kelly, and while she tries to really bite his face, he just wags his tail and gently turns the other cheek. Smart dog, because he doesn’t get riled up, she doesn’t actually bite.

Honey is such a great teacher!! I’m with SlimDoggy – it’s always much easier for me to suggest that my hubby calm down while driving 🙂
