moving to an apartment complex with lots of dogs when your own dogs hate other dogs.
Story - this grumpy old guy with 2 small yapping type dogs just moved into the building. He yells and is snippy with us over Chef D. For example yesterday Chef D was sitting on the carpet about 15 feet away waiting for the elevator to open. When the doors opened the old guy's dogs started pulling and barking at Chef, who by the way was still sitting. The guy snapped at us to move our dog. So we moved the extra foot backing us into the wall.
Later that night I was taking Chef out and stopped to talk to the new guard. The old man was trying to come back in from taking his dogs out. He was mad we were in the lobby. Actually asked us to move so he could come in with his dogs.
I'm sure it must be stressful to have non-socialized digs, but he is really pissing me off. Our dog is not doing anything wrong. He is not barking or pulling, they are. He has always socialized with the staff, I hate he gives us the stink eye because our dog is socializing with the staff in the lobby.
For the vent. He just out me in a bad mood.
What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
