| Re: Was I wrong?
Without knowing the tone of the conversation I can't see anything at all wrong with what you did or said. Maybe she'll come around and maybe she won't. Most people are going to be more concerned about their child before their dog so she may not have been feeling you from the aspect of 'what if something happens to your dog'. If she's your new neighbor then hopefully you'll have more opportunities to talk to her and get your neighborly relationship off to a better start.
Brutus'Mother - made an excellent point in that she doesn't always tell complete strangers the absolute truth about her dog. The first thing the little boy said was that the dog bites. Maybe he was told to say that if anyone approaches them or maybe it's true, who knows but it's an option.
Nlavett - your issue is a petpeeve of mine so I'm glad you said something. I think too many believe perverts are around every corner and under every bush. To the OP, unless you ARE a pervert I would not change anything about your approach to the kids.  |
