DEKAW 85 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Was out this morning with the dogs and passed a bloke and his missus. As i was passing them she said to me "poor thing do you feed that dog" I was lost for words. Ignored her and kept on going. Here is a pic of the dog she was talking about Also the rest of the pack Pics not the best quality as taken from my phone Ever had this experience Quote Link to post
Chid 6,495 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 rescued a lurcher x from the dogs home fur was missing and it was really skinny the amount of dirty looks and rude comments i got were unbelievable Quote Link to post
skycat 6,173 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 From the pic your dogs look very fit and well: I've had it before, and what I do, (on the occasions that I can be bothered) is say to them: "Have you ever seen a fat distance runner: look at Paula Radcliffe!" When you make that comparison all but the dopiest idiots can make the connection! Quote Link to post

weejohn 3 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) nothing to worry about your dog looks in great shape i have never had anything said to me but the girlfriend has had people remarking how skinny the dog is, i think the uneducated think a big fat lab is a nice condition for a dog to be in Edited December 5, 2007 by weejohn Quote Link to post
Scallywag 78 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) My dogs are broken coated so that helps, but I've got a smooth skinny foster from a rescue at the moment and he draws comments and looks. Some people just walk around looking for something to feel self righteous about. Your dog looks great by the way. Edited December 5, 2007 by Scallywag Quote Link to post

Guest WILF Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I have had that a few times, mainly from idiots who have dogs so overweight that they look ready to keel over at any minute...........I would have had to have tore her off a strip I am afraid Quote Link to post
Guest john2007oliver Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Dog looks well enough to me. Does me head in when people go rrrr that dogs dead thin and try and feed it shit like chocolate. Which gets a response " What the f*ck are you doing, my dogs diabetic" I get on the train alot with her too and it does my head in pissed people on the weekend coming over molestering the dog and asking "does it bite" Does it fecking look like its bites? its got its heads on my knee and is out for the count. You do get a good laugh at the public though, sent one fella into a pup to lend £60 off his mate to buy my dog, which he thought was a Labrador and when he come back out we was gone Quote Link to post
