Her: In her own front yard getting ready to take her two dogs and her baby for a walk on a nice sunny day. Last check before she heads out – kid in the stroller one dog leash in hand and whoops dropped the other.
You: two ADULTs: Walking/jogging with your dog past her house oblivious, it would seem to anything going on around you.
Incident: Her dog got away and challenged your dog. You freaked out and yelled and screamed and kicked her dog and picked up your precious bundle of fur and scampered away.
Result: Crying baby, dog who has now been kicked by an “animal lover”. Woman who has been made to feel like shit for trying to take her kids for a walk and not having enough additional attention for you and you and your dog. Neighbours who don’t want to see your face until you apologize to the woman, the baby and the dog.
Advice: Don’t bring yourselves to Connolly Street. Take your bubble somewhere else. We all have enough to deal with already. —The cone was on the dog but somehow you can’t see either.

Lesson: If you can’t manage all of that, don’t. Control your dog(s). I don’t care if you have a baby with you… They have every right to use whatever means to guard their dog from another vicious one.
Sorry OB but the dog got loose and became threatening and as a result got kicked. The joggers did nothing wrong other than protecting themselves. They should be apologized to.
Kick my fucking dog, you will receive 1 free karate chop to the throat!!!!
The unprepared Momma is at fault for not restraining both dogs. The dog challenged another dog …….. hmmm, boot to the snot for sure. Let the fucking fur fly.
Sorry SHITD, if your dog becomes threatening, too bad, so sad.
wait a minute…..just who is the ‘stupid human’ here???? the idiot whose dog got loose, attacked someone else’s dog and who then blames the victim dog’s humans for not kissing her arse.
I can’t believe someone wrote this self righteous piece of crap.
I’m with you on this one, Bad Dog. Stupid human should have walked baby first, dogs later. Both need full-time attention, not half-assed attention. Bad bitcher, now sit….stay…waiting…waiting…for common sense.
One more thing – please, please, moderator, take down that gawd-awful clip art. It adds nothing to the post and reminds me of the awkward scribblings of kindergarten class.
I could get behind this bitch if it had been written by the jogger whose dog got attacked by another because its owner couldn’t keep it under control.
I know it wasn’t intentional, OB, but you were clearly in the wrong.
If something threatens my animals, I’ll do whatever I have to to make sure they’re safe. Even if it means batting your dog away. I’m not letting my animal get hurt because you couldn’t handle a baby and two dogs.
Joggers: 1
OB: 0

Don’t blame others for your inability to control your animals … or offspring for that matter.
and to make op’s rant even further ridiculous, does anyone else get the picture that the other peoples’ dog had a ‘cone of shame’ on his head? so he couldn’t even see the dog coming after him??
you know, if this is a real bitch and not some made up story, it sure explains a lot about human behaviour. I am just gob smacked by the Teflon sense of responsibility.
Thanks! I will absolutely, 100% avoid Connolly Street from now on. You weirdo. Your bitch basically says “Law don’t go ’round here law dog.” In conclusion, go watch Tombstone.
BUT GUYS! SHE HAS A BABY!
*eyeroll*
ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH ALREADY
“Advice: Don’t bring yourselves to Connolly Street. Take your bubble somewhere else. We all have enough to deal with already.” The cone was on the dog but somehow you can’t see either
This is a complex bitch. There is, of course, the matter of the dogs – which one was wearing the cone? – as well as whether or not the joggers had theirs on a leash. But more interesting is the matter of Connolly Street. What is it about Connolly Street such that the residents have enough to deal with already? What is it to be a resident of Connolly Street? Are they typically of sub-normal intelligence? Are they subject to periodic bouts of psychopathology? Is there excessive in-breeding? Are they promiscuous by nature? Many possibilities present themselves for consideration. Perhaps an ethnographic study is in order. The researcher might engage the residents in fruitful dialogue, one which attempts to uncover those factors which incline them to feel that they have enough to deal with already.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
Connolly Street, the former blue collar paradise (a result of 1941’s Wartime Housing initiative and distinguished by streets of two and three bedroom prefabs) is now 90% white collar. We used to call them ‘yuppies’.
I grew up close to Connolly Street and am saddened by its intellectual decline.
Can someone tell us why the baby graphic has bird feet for eyes and black tears? Wouldn’t tar or molasses tears drip down instead of away from the baby? Then there’s another bird foot on top of this screaming infant’s head. Why are the hair and eyes drawn the same but at different angles? Where the fuck is John Gnagy when you need him??
Did I mention the mouth looks like a mint patty with a bite taken out?
AND TT gets banned [again].
HAH.
This is a bitch board, right? I’m bitching about inferior clip art being used. The only way I can get banned is if the mod did these awful renderings and can’t take a little honest criticism.
Waiting…waiting…
I think you just answered your own question, TT! Haha
all I can think of now is those delicious mint patties.
