Batshit, but can't stop laughing!

Last week, a woman ran out of her house and called me back whilst I was walking my dog ( a 13 year old arthritic labrador).
The following is pretty much verbatim.....

' can you PLEASE stop walking down this street with THAT dog every morning?
It makes my dog bark every time. She sits in the windowsill and you take so long to walk 50m, she virtually barks herself hoarse'

I have to admit I laughed, because I thought she was joking, but she pulled me up again today because my dog was 'looking over her garden wall'

Both times, she has caught me on the hop, I thought of 99 witty responses as I walked away, but both times I just managed a 'seriously???"

It hasn't upset me I just think it's funny tbh, but thinking twice before I walk past her house again🤣

Noo you need to walk past again. This time stop and wave.

Make a little card and write in it, " Dear Rex, would you like to come on a walk with me? You probably don't get enough exercise if you have enough energy to bark so much. Lots of love, Fido"🤣🤣🤣 ! Then hand it to her with a smile.

Please make your dog a little Batman mask, then when she rushed out next time, you can innocently say "But look. We've put on his disguise so that your dog doesn't recognize him and worry so much!"

She sounds like Mrs Hobbs off waffle the wonder dog 😂

I must admit, I'm tempted to linger as I meander by😅
She picks her dog up , protectively, if we pass her on walks.
My dog has not interest in anything that she can't eat, so doesn't even register other dogs.
It really shouldn't amuse me as much as it does- its more the look on my dogs face - a real wtf expression as she plants her bum on the pavement and politely listens to the rant.

Yeah don’t do this 🤦‍♀️ 😂

I do like the disguise option, or maybe you should ask her not to victim blame and say that these malicious accusations and victim blaming are causing your dog upset and you will have to get your dog therapy to deal with it and will send her the bill.

RescueMeFromThisSilliness · 26/11/2025 21:26

Some people are barking. Almost literally. My neighbours complained endlessly because their hysterical small dogs would go apeshit every time anyone either walked past on the pavement (with or without a canine companion), or if any of the many random cats in the neighbourhood were within sight of their front window. I would get told off for parking in the street. 😂

Whats the update, op? 👀👀😄
