Being an older guy, I am not sure what caught my attention first. What appeared to be a really young foxred lab pup, or what appear to be a really attractive ~25 year old woman dress in a bright colored low cut, short skirt blowing in the breeze dress. Duh! At the DP.
As she approached I asked if it was a Lab pup and how old. She otold me it was a rare Red Lab and was 9 weeks old.
I then asked if she had talked with her vet yet about bringing the dog to public places, particularly dog parks before it had completely its immunization cycle, and if she was aware that Red Labs are just a shade variation of yellow and he was really a Yellow Lab.
Okay! I am older. I obviously don't knw how to talk to young attractive women. I guess I will stay with the DW a few more years.
I got my ear torn off.
'He hasn't been to the vet yet. We just got him 3 days ago. The breeder told me he didn't need with next shots until 12 weeks, so he will go then. She also told me it was important to get him out socializing with other dogs and that people would try to tell me that he was a yellow lab and that there was no such thing as a Red Lab.'
I decided to try one more time, and if it didn't work so be it.
I suggested that she make a vet appointment as soon as possible and tolk to her vet about the dog park. I told her I was only suggesting it for the benefit of the dog. It really wasn't good to expose him to what was was certainly present somewhere in the park. It could mean saving his life. Just then the dog let loose with a mushy poop right near my feet. I couldn't help but notice, but there were worms present. I tried to point them out to the lady and said that was enough of a reason to get into the vet tomorrow even if she was convinced her breeder that gave her a dog to take home with worms said otherwise. I also then suggested she check out the AKC site on Labs and colors.
She came back that she was sure the 'whatever' I think I saw would wait the three weeks until the dog had to go in for another shot.
I was done with that response but a couple others (women) that were listening jumped all over her. She got a lecture about taking care of the animal she just took responsibility for. Seeing a vet whose has been trained in animal care, and not some breeder interested in selling her a RARE RED LAB for what was probably an absurd price. Then she got the red / yellow lab lecture again and they asked her to take her dog out of the park and not come back until at least the wrom issue was resolved since they didn't want their dogs to end up with worms.
One of the ladies then came over to me and told me that I was trying to be too nice with the pretty thing with and over exposed body. I should have just told the '*****' straight up like they did. Her word.
