The LWNID Hath Found A Champion



A few posts back, I mentioned The Lady Who's Not Into Dogs.

She has repeated her dramatics to the extent that now, she is my nemesis.

If I were just a shade more evil, I could secretly snap her picture and post it here on the Internet for all to see, for she traverses the very ground outside my domicile right now as I type. Thankfully, a sliver of my honor remains, and I have suffered her to power walk another day, my friends.

But that doesn't mean I have ceased to loathe her.

For she hath, in the parlance of modern-day kitchen warriors, "kicked it up a notch."

Now she walks not alone, but with a young man, some son or perhaps grandson of her lineage (I cannot logic why else a man of that age should accompany her on Sunday strolls at 8 am, although I shudder at my imagination's gibberings).

As they walk, the man carries a staff of some kind of shiny metal with purple plastic rings at intervals. Though its appearance is silly, it is about 3 feet long and and at least an inch in diameter and could be used to bruise someone about the head and shoulders, or conceivably, knock a small dog senseless. For all I know, it could be the Weapon of Doom of the Order of the Shiny Stick-Wielders Guild, since indeed, these folk are strangers to me in all else but hatred.

So a few Sundays back, I and Pip the Mostly Harmless Puggin Pup are walking along minding our own business. The LWNID and Her Champion approach. Because the Champion has apparently taken a cologne shower before walking, Pip starts sniffing the air a bit as I reel him in on the leash. I always do this so that there is NO chance he will get near her as they pass. As I'm walking past, he RAISES THE STICK ABOVE HIS HEAD, while looking down at my small, cute, member of the toy group as if he were a slavering dire wolf.

Hot rivulets of Anger Dam burst forth in some rather explosive leaks just then.

I turned around and looked at them both, incredulity in my eyes. They looked at me as if such behavior was rational and expected, in light of the fact that I was parading Cerberus himself about this park.

I continued walking, trying to keep my police record clean.

The second time I passed, he raised the stick a little lower.

I continued circling, wispy rationality barely chaining in my impulse to initiate fisticuffs with the both of them, darkness whispering to the yellow and chocolate labs who approached to rip free of their leashes and go on a rare human-mauling spree.

Finally, I decided that the LWNID is clearly crazy at some level, and the Champion is probably forcibly nagged to accompany his dotty mom on her morning exercise.

So when I saw them again today, stick in hand, I and Pip went another way.

Peace and harmony through avoidance of your nemeses, I suppose.

It's a bit early in the day for blood on the hands, anyhow.

I don't think it's ever too early for blood. But I admire your restraint--it's practically Christ-like at this point.

Dude woulda died. That's all I can say.

OMG That is so rude. I can't believe they did that. It's one thing to carry a stick for protection but to threaten with it is just wrong.

You should borrow someone's pit bull and then follow them on their walk. It would show them to appreciate what they have (or rather don't have)

Threatening me with a stick, I might just let you pass. Threatening my child or pet with a stick and I will likely take your stick and thrash you soundly with it. For that matter, let me see you threaten someone else or their pet with it and I'd probably do the same. You're stronger than I!

Ohhhhhhhhh, how I wish my supportive blog posse were here with me on those morning walks... just thinking of the carnage, chaos and disarray that would ensue makes me all misty inside.

Thank y'all for your support. It means more to my embittered heart than you can possibly know.

And incidentally, my "restraint" is just the fear of going berserk on both their asses and being hauled off to jail. So don't make me the Dalai Lama or nothin'. ;)

Hi Ari, thanks for the visit, the pit bull soundslike the preffered option, plan B involving lots of blood-shed has appeal too.

While I'm not a dog lover, there is no reason to threaten animals, especially little ones. Next time he raises that stick tell him if he hits the dog you'll rip his scrotum off and use it to choke the old bag to death.

Yeah, Julie, I really wish we had a Rent-A-Rottweiler in operation around here. :D

Np, Peter, thank you!

Methinks that's too good for the cologne-soaked ninny, Aza... ;)

Do you have other friends with dogs? If so, I'd get together as many as you can - at least five or so. Then, organize a dog walking party. Take up the entire sidewalk. Be sure to "curb" your dogs near where she and the idiot with the stick are walking. I guarantee this will make them cross the street.

Otherwise, just punch her in the neck. Bitch has it coming.
