Dog Training….Unraveled

A whole new level of cool

A few months ago, I got this comment in my inbox:

“You know you sound really unpleasant, right?
I typed ‘ irritating dog lady ‘ into Google, and your blog came up. I think you were first. Try it.
Also, you misspelled -assistant- when you described your husband.
That’s all.”

I was kind of entertained and really wanted to address it then, but have not had the time. Firstly – WOW! I’m moving up in the world if you can find me by googling “irritating dog lady”! That’s kinda cool if you ask me. Secondly, who in the world is so bored that they actually google “irritating dog lady”? I guess Matt is. Well, thanks Matt. I’m guessing that Matt really didn’t read the post – this one that he was commenting about. Or perhaps his reading comprehension skills just suck. Who knows? I’m thinking, either way, he has a lot of time on his hands.

The point, actually, was to sound unpleasant. I was pissed off, irritated, and just sort of in awe of the stupidity of some people.

I’m still often just blown away by how in your face and rude people can be – especially when you have a baby, but I have to be nicer now. I’m teaching classes and the Training Director over there, so I have to make nice with, well, everyone. I will still get in someone’s face if they let their dog too close to my baby, but I do it as politely as possible, and usually I blame it on the baby. “Oh, sorry, she can look at your dog, but she can’t pet because she doesn’t understand that ears are not for pulling yet” and then I step in between the dog and the baby. She doesn’t understand. She’s a baby. She tortures my dogs, yanks their hair, pokes their eyes and explores their noses. They don’t care. Your dog might. I don’t really want to stress test your dog that far, do you?

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to Matt, I think I will now start referring to myself as that “Irritating Dog Lady,” cause it kind of has a nice ring to it. I do have to ask though – why the hell were you googling that anyway? Don’t you like porn? Or have a nice myspace account you could be updating? I mean, really.

    I’m perfectly content with being an “irritating dog lady”. In fact, I think that would make a TERRIFIC T-shirt!
    I like most dogs more than I like most people…and Matt is a perfect example why. :o )

    I like how you think, Keri – “Irritating Dog Lady” would be awesome on a t-shirt!

    The only way an irritating dog lady could be truly irritating is if she was actually a cat lady. Dogs Rule!

    Cats would never do this…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MICQZrdM8I

    He he he… I’d rather be an ‘irritating dog lady’ than an ‘irritating cat lady’ anyway :)

    I can’t really see that many people searching for that search term anyway, but it’s kinda funny that you come up on the first page.
