One of Those Nights...

Last night I had made plans with my coworkers to hang out for James' last couple days in town before he leaves for Oregon. After discussing with the boy, I realized very quickly that he was not in the mood for it. I figured we could give it until 8 pm or so and then head off. After eating some food, we decided to turn that frown upside down by taking our dog out on the skateboard. There is nothing she likes more than pulling us on the skateboard. She gets super fired up and growls and barks and chases after the skateboard. It's a riot. There is a huge parking lot down the street from our house that is empty at night and is normally where she has her skateboarding sessions. We can close it off and let her run around without fear of cars, etc. Well, after her sesh, the boy skated out into the street with the dog at his side but off the leash. Neither of us saw this guy walking toward us with his greyhound. Well, when the pup saw the guy and the dog she trotted up to him, tail wagging and ears up. The guy kicked at my dog and I flipped out. After some choice words and heated discussion the boy, the dog, myself, and the random guy on the street parted ways with the random guy threatening to beat our dog and kick the boys ass. It all sounds a bit stupid but I tend to get a little lippy when people get in my face. It's one of my least favorite qualities about myself and when/if I can change it I will. Yes, I realize that the boy and I were in the wrong not having our dog on a leash but this guy was an ass for kicking at her. We couldn't explain to him her exuberance and love for other people and dogs because he we too fucking busy trying to kick our dog. He explained his reaction to us but I am not buying it. When a dog prances up to you with her tail wagging does that really provoke a kicking response. This guy is an ass and now we are fortunate enough to have this vocal run in with a neighbor that we will have to live by until our lease is up. Woohoo! Needless to say, we didn't make it to our get together and it was a bit of a long night.
