Aw Sami, your poor Mom!  She sure didn't deserve that!  It sounds like that icky lady should be living somewhere in the country, not in town where people walk with their dogs!  If she can't handle it, she should either move or build a fence!  Now if you were doing it intentionally that's different, but come on... what more could your mom possibly have done to appease this cranky lady?  She must have been having a real bad day and took it out on you.  Our Mom says it's hard for humans to just let it go when someone yells at you, even if you don't deserve it, but we sure hope your Mom didn't let this get to her, cuz she didn't deserve it!

Oh .Sami, give your mom a kiss for me. Thats bad that lady yelling at your mommy!!! Some people!!! Anyway you know what when we lived in Florida we lived in a condo. what ever that is. Any way we lived on the bottom so we had our own private back yard thank goodness. But anyway a neighbor of ours had a dog and she walked it out and forgot her bag to pick it up in, she went home to get one to pick up after him and someone ran out with a camara before she could get back out there and took a picture of her leaving the mess without picking it up. Then she turned the picture in the the condo. manager and they made copies of it and put it on everyones door asking if anyone knew who the dog and owner were. Well of course some one ratted and they threw her out... Isnt that terrible...Thats one nice thing about living in the county, we can go anywhere!!! Oh thats so much fun, but mommy still picks up after us.

Sami we understand you can't always pick the PERFECT place.  When ya gotta go..ya gotta go.  Bet that woman (we agree with Aunt Tina..she's not a lady) wouldn't like it if someone wouldn't let her go if she really had to.  And your mom was very responsible.  We live in the country so that's not really an issue for us.  Mom or Dad just take us to a far part of the yard...but we have a bunch of strays that do their business in our yard (sometimes right by the back porch..yuck) but mom and dad don't say anything.  We say next time when she (and mom) isn't looking pee on her flowers!!!!

Sami ~ three words come to mind, for this angry, mean woman (notice we did NOT call her a lady ~ as a LADY would not act the way she did)...and how big are your deposits, for cryin out loud ~ marble sized??? Argh. Ok, three words for this witch: OH, BITE ME!

Your pals, the AusSiebelts

You know what? People are crazy! Do they think we purposely pick the crazy lady's yard to go in? No! We gotta go when we gotta go. A similar thing happened to my mom a few years back so there are crazies everywhere. She just couldn't understand what the big deal was since mom had picked it up. AND this couple had 2 dogs of their own. HELLOOO!!!

Sami - oh my gosh!  That is so horrible!  I hope it never happens again, but it might one day because some PEE-ple are just plain whiners!

My mom is a groomer (to some of my close friends only now) and the neighborhood knows that her/my yard is a safe bathroom spot.  And if you forget a bag?  Not a problem!  We clean the yard every morning!  Well, one day our neighbor was getting irate at these beautiful lady am staff terriers for going potty in her yard.  Mom heard the noise and went outside (because she's nosy!) to see what the problem was.  She then pointed to a non-visible wet spot.

"They went here?  Right here??  Well, guess what, THAT'S MY YARD AND I ALLOW IT!"

Our neighbor hasn't spoken to us since!  But, Mom did put a cute sign up for a few weeks that said: Bathroom Breaks Allowed Here!  Hope you get a neighbor like my mom!  Bad PEE-ple are just ugly!  I think it's because they are JEALOUS that they don't have that special love from a furriend like our parents do...  Oh well. 

Barks,

Sami-Tonight my Daddy got yelled at because of me. Guess what I did? I laid on this guys lawn. That's it. I was tired and needed a rest in the grass. Can you believe it? Daddy called him, well we are ladies so I wont tell you the word! What is up with people?

There's nothing more your mom could have done. She did all the right things, but some people just don't know when to give it up. My guess is this woman might be frustrated with other dogs in the neighborhood and you just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and she was lookin'. 

I get called a 'boy' all the time, too, Sami. My mom will usually just say something like 'her name is Astrid!' in a nice tone of voice. In this case, that mean lady wouldn't have cared if you were a he, a she or purple people eater. You were her target at that particular moment. Sorry....crap happens.

Astrid

Oh nooo Sami we just read this...goodness that woman is just plain mean!!! No other word for her! Well..lets see...next time we will come over, and walk with you...with us sheps and our wannabe shep Sugar..we will see how much SHE will yell at your mom...geesh calling you a "HIM"...

no excuse for being rude and yelling...we know your mom and we know how responsible she is..dont forget we met her in person..and you too...

Mom had a real busy day yesterday and didnt get to read a whole lot on here..but she is reading this now.

Tell mom..  not to worry...too many of those kind of "mean people" around..and she should just forget and ignore her.

Sorry to hear about your mom being yelled at. I'm sure she is a responsible person.
