What next ???  

Well, maybe a spray bottle to spray it down. I can understand her not liking the pee, but I also would not take a stick to a dog, for just as you said, he might turn mean or angry. I would make sure to walk a different way with him, so they are protected from each other. Maybe she gets lots of dogs peeing there and it smells bad and Gissi is the first one she caught.Still did not need to poke him, but could have said something in a nicer manner.

WOW gabs, that lady is a ean spirited old lady. I would NOT hve been able to keep my cool had it been me in that position!! I would of let the dog bite her..lol... There was NO reason for her to be poking Gissi with a stick at all. I guess she has never owned a dog!!!Lori

I am an animal lover also. I do like to take care of my property though and do not like for other pets to come in my yard to take a pee or a poop. We have all kinds of animals around our home that do so because the woners let them run loose to do whatever they want to. They even let them poop in my yard and they never clean it up either. We do. I would make sure to try not to let my dog in other peoples yards or pee or poop near their property. I would clean it up also if it happened. This lady should have kindly talked to you about it though without poking the dog with the stick.

hi gabs ... i guessed as it was the first time she should have just told you not to bring Gissi there the next time ..

Poking a dog is not good at all ..

Let me share a joke with you... it was in a movie actually ..

this man, was high and mighty on his motor cycle .. he kicked on a dog which was lying down along the road .. not only that, he stopped and scolded the poor dog ...

Later one night ... his motorcycle broke down and he had to walk tru the road where the dog actually strays ..

Guess what ... the dog gave him a chase .. and bit him at "THAT" place

Well the moral of the story is ... "never think animals especially dogs have no memory"

cheers

I hate it when I hear things like this. My dog that I grew up with had it's leg broken with a stick because someone was sneaking into our backyard and got frightening and whacked his leg into two pieces. He was only a puppy. People are so insensitive and narrow minded. I have always been brought up to respect my elders too, but they seem to think that we have no choice but to deal with their cranky attitute. If that was a child having an accident in their pants on her front yard would she poke the child with a stick. I don't think so.

‘She then says to me, it is not the Dog, it is the owner,’…sorry Gabs, I’m thick or something but I really did not comprehend…what did she mean?

Anyone poking my dog(s) with a stick is just looking for trouble. If it had been that Gissi was peeing on some prized roses, etc, I could understand if they asked me to move him along from their plants but a friggin' wall! No way under any circumstance does a stranger touch/correct my pet. Old or not I would not have stood for it. You were absolutely right to let her know what you thought.

i am sorry, gabs that you and Gissi had to go through such an experience. There are nasty old people just like there are nasty young people. There's no getting around it. The lady should never have poked your doggy. If she didn't like him peeing on her wall she could have simply voiced her displeasure.

I would offer to let her come and pee against your wall anytime she likes Gabs! What a silly woman. I bet on saturday nights after closing time it's not dogs that pee against her wall! XXXX

I think Gissi knew he'd be in trouble if he attacked the old biddie!!! So in his own loving way he said piss on you!!!
