Dog Walkers Beware

Some people are jerks.  That's just a fact of life.  I will take you back to our walk on Sunday to tell you why I say this.  I walk, everyday if I can, for exercise, to get Kaia some fresh air, and to exercise and potty the two doggies.  So, this requires me to wear Kaia and hold one dog per hand.  Keys and doggie bags tucked somewhere in pants.  Most people that see us out like this stare or do a double take.  Many say, "Whoa!  You've sure got your hands full!"  Why yes, thank you for noticing!  I do!

However, some, instead do this . . .

We are on our way back.  We are all slightly tired.  We see a man and his dog, Kiyoshi's younger brother with a different coloring, across the street.  Of course this riles my dogs to no end.  I pull and tug at them to keep them moving.  The man crosses the street to our side.  Oh no!  We must be in front of his house!  He keeps approaching, I am really having to strain to get the dogs to move away now.  The man says nothing but grins at us.  Mind you, Kaia is still in her carrier as I visibly struggle.  He continues to approach within inches, continues to smile good naturedly.  Finally, I manage to get my dogs turned around, though grudgingly.  As we walk away, I hear this, "OK, [insert big happy grin-chuckle here] you've seen them now."  And they walk away from what, most definitely, was not their house.
