Attended a family party today. The host (we're very close) adores DDog and very much wanted him to come - and he behaved pretty much impeccably. Another guest is known to dislike dogs. I had stage whispered comments all afternoon
"oh, why did they bring that thing with them, I thought they'd have left it at home"
"I don't think dogs should be where food is, it's not hygienic"
Calling DDog "it" not "he"
"Oh, it's a Jack Russell, that's why it's nasty"
"Our bags have been on the floor, we'll have to disinfect them when we get home"
"Why did he just shake? He probably has fleas"
"I don't like it when people have dogs but don't train them" (cue me demonstrating a variety of complicated tricks DDog can perform)
The guest was also mortally offended when DDog asked her for a game of fetch by giving her his favourite toy
I've spent all bloody day biting my lip and if there had been one more comment I would have said something. Anyone else had people be incredibly rude about their DDog?
