I just put my hands on my neighbor.
 

Def con 10, i almost unleashed it on him. He drinks, and likes to think he is the dog whisperer. He is a know it all .
He grabs my dog by the leash, and commands him to sit . My dog does not sit, so he grabs him by the leash and lifts him up to standing position by his collar. My dog is gasping and choking . He keeps saying " sit sit"
I tried to push his hands back down to give the dog some relief. He yanks the dog back and pulls even harder.
This is a 2 year old 95 pound meathead chocolate lab . Big dumb friendly oaf. Still full of piss and vinegar .
I grabbed his hands with my left , hand, and shoved him down with my right arm.
I told him " Don't you ever put your ****ing hands on my dog like that again "
I cocked back to swing but did not .
There was no confrontation, neither my dog nor I did anything wrong. I had my dog on a leash, 100% under my control. I did not ask for my dog to be trained. I was not in distress .
He reeks of a brewery.
I am not a tough guy, and I don't like to fight. Been probably 30 years since I have thrown any fists. That being said, I really really wanted it .
This is the first time I have felt those feelings in a long time.
I was just protecting a member of my family .

I love you man! :D

Good job. I would have done the same thing. Only added some profanity.

Man, what a knucklehead. Amazing self-restraint, Fred!

Good to hear you did and glad you didn't. Protect your pal and stay cool that is. I know this type of guy. Low life. Entitled.

I feel ya Fred, good on you man.

I'm glad your encounter ended without either of you getting hurt.

This was not what I was hoping for in this thread given the title... :)

dude, I'm old and grey, and I want you in my corner. Don't f with my dog or my horse.

I'm sure you meant Fred or his dog...

You showed good restraint. I might have tried to get him to swing at me. You don't treat dogs that way and you damn sure don't treat other guys' dogs that way. He should have a real sore face right now.

If you accidently back over him with your car, I understand.

Me too!

Fred, could you post a photo of your Chocolate? What is his name?

:)

Good job protecting your buddy.
Where were this at?

I was cheering, alright Freddy out loud thinking it has something to do with a young, long legged slender young lady neighbor. Dang ya dude.:D

I am glad you didn't do anything stupid and the dog wasn't hurt.

I was thinking he was a ‘she’ and this was the old neighbor you posted about a few months back...

Glad it wasn’t. Again, good you showed restraint.

I see me and look had the same idea...

I wouldn't be surprised if neighbor came over with some beers for you. He probably thinks "Yeah, Fred's alright, stands up for his dawg, not afraid to show his emotions and his fists - my kinda guy."

My dogs and I usually end up in a bit of a scuffle once every 12 months. If it's not the dogs it's me LOL

His name is Zeek. He has mashed potatoes for brains. A big puppy . He is a kind and gentle dog, and is one of the family .
This whole thing started out innocent. I was walking down my driveway looking at all the flooding , when the neighbor pulled in . He came over to talk , and had to be the tough guy dog whisperer.
I would never treat my own dog that way, and sure as hell won't stand by and watch someone else do it .

I would buy Zeek a beer and give you a treat anytime Fred!

And Moka sez hey ;)

Glad you held back, issues with neighbours are the worst, think he’ll remember in the am?

I applaud your restraint....



But man you sure find yourself in some interesting situations...

Good on you!

Do you know this neighbor well? How did he react to the drunk whispering?

Congrats for showing restraint. If it were me, I'd talk to him when he's sober and tell him he's a drunk and you don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Tell him if his house is on fire you'll try to help. Otherwise you don't have a reason to interact with him. I did that with the neighbor across the way, down the road. He tries to be friendly but it doesn't get him anywhere.

Wow, your dog is really tolerant. I'm sure my dog would have bitten the guy.

Don’t watch John Wick.

This is better.

All fair in love and war. And the other guy can go and f' himself.

That Choccy has a very kindly face and that SO MUCH reflects on you as a person and how well you have treated that dog (family member).

This would be my concern, if he grabbed the younger dog, the older one would definitely bite him some.

Gotta protect your family. Good for you!

Boundaries....some people just have to be taught imo.

Had my first encounter with my neighbors two houses down a few weeks ago....I told them to call the cops when they got even more stooopid....they did :). Message not received....a week later....me and this fellow had a chat at their front door.....1 am.

Problem solved....

First time I ever had him on a leash....but I had NO fear....I've got Moka's back, his too....and vice versa....

Peace :)http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1559123179.jpg

Good on you for stepping in and knocking the jerk back. He might gotten away with that on a chocolate lab, but my 70# Aussie, would have most likely torn him a new azzhole.

My choco is becoming two-toned over the past few daze....not even 4 months...I'll try to get a pic....

Don't show Zeek her pic though....she's already developed a man-crush....and it ain't me!

Tail goes into turbo-wag when her buddy appears...along with his sidekick, a 5 mo golden poopie....she's a keeper too!

Dawgs :)....

Just curious what kind of reaction did the drunk meister give ? Did he apologize ? Or say anything ? Good for you to stand up for your pup .

As with many drunks they don't remember what they did the day before. He needs to be reminded the next day of what he has done before he starts drinking. Well done Fred with showing restraint. If you had punched him out he probably would not have remembered that either. I hate drunks....:eek::confused:

Nuthin' wrong with drunks....Otis my man :)

Gimme them all day long before Fred's neighbor....alcohol isn't the issue here.

Now back in my "drunk daze"...(haven't thrown a punch in 4 decades...peace bro ;))....I'd have decked him or anyone who treated MY dog in that fashion...sober...and mebbe even their dawg :).

Don't push "that button".... just don't...I just see red :(.

The drunken master did let out a sarcastic " jeez, sorry " That just made me madder. I stormed off with my doggie after that .

Don't touch my dog, my car, my truck or my wife. The order of this list can change as I so desire.

I would’ve knocked the guy on his ass. Absolutely no excuse for that, you should probably pay him a visit today and tell him he’s persona non grata in your world.
