Dog Corralling
There are few times in a young man's life where you witness true and utter stupidity. Most things can be attributed to ignorance or a poor learning experience *waves hands around*. However I can only think of a handful of events off of the top of my head where I've witnessed complete stupidity.
And he lives right across the street. In the run down trailer. He's 100% American white trash and we all hate him. I think he stays around just to annoy us. For this post I will call him Idiot and not use his real name...mostly in part 'cause I can't remember his real name. Everyone just calls him Idiot or Numb Nuts.
So anyways, back to Idiot. He's never been truly bright but I've always attributed it towards his, well, low breeding and being raised in Louisiana. I mean, every state is lower then God's Country, aka Ohio, but Louisiana and Kentucky bring out some real winners. Not that I'm saying that *EVERYONE* there is stupid...just a large majority. For those of you that read my blog and love it, you're one of the chosen few :).
So last evening after supper I go to take Zoie out to go to the bathroom. We live right by this ally and I saw this car zooming right through it, scaring me to death as, typically, no one goes through there. I then see this really big dog coming after us, drooling literally pouring off of its face.
Now while Zoie thinks she's mighty and powerful and can take on God himself, she just can't, way too freaking small. So I pick her up, she's freaking out and barking, and I tell the dog to take a hike. He stops and looks at me with those stupid eyes and stupid drool and then Idiot gets out of the racing car and tells the dog to get in the car. Well, I think that both the dog and Idiot were raised in Louisiana together because the dog just decided to sit there and eye the tasty morsel (aka Zoie). So I went into the garage and watched. Idiot, instead of getting out of his car, kept on calling for the dog and then the dog started to run off. So Idiot was driving all over the block, trying to get the dog.
So I waited a couple of minutes, went back outside to get Zoie to go to the bathroom, and the dog was still loose. Idiot decided that they would do Dog Corralling. He never once got out of his car the whole time I was watching him (it was so amazing I watched him for 30 minutes doing this). He and his two druggie buddies decided to use their cars to corral the stupid dog to his run down trailer. It was...simply amazing. He had several opportunities to get out of his car to get the dog but instead they all used their cars to nudge the dog closer to home.
The second time I took Zoie outside and the dog tried to eat her I told Idiot, "Maybe you should get your dog?" To which he replied, screaming in a drunken rage, "What does it look like I'm doing?! I'm TRYING!!!" I then laugh, tell him he should get out of his car when trying to get his dog, and then run into the house, as I'm afraid for my life, as he has a history of violence according to the neighbors. Well that and the tattooed teardrop speaks volumes.
So, the THIRD time that I tried to take Zoie outside he then yells at me, telling me, "Why are you taking your dog outside when you KNOW that I'm trying to get mine in?!" I didn't even reply to that, as he's yelling at me while trying to corral his dog while at the same time trying not to hit it.
That, my friends, is 100% pure genius.
This is a lesson that there are reasons for Leash Laws. I mean, Zoie has gotten off of my leash once or twice, don't get me wrong, I know that happens. But I don't think he even owns a leash. So he's amazed when they actually go off of his property.
That type of mentality just makes me insanely jealous.....
