When someone says your a bad pet owner 🥲
I recently posted something about my dog and her becoming deaf and how we created our own version of DSL. Before we knew she was going deaf (we figured it out VERY quickly. Like four days later) we would raise our voices or tap on the floor so she could feel the vibrations. I don’t condone doing that and actually HATED IT, but I was doing it out of concern.
Because when you call you dogs name and they can’t hear you and you watch them stare into the abyss, IT IS SO FRICKIN SCARY. Specially when you dog goes pee at night and they can’t hear you and you have to frantically look in the backyard in the dark, fearing she may of made her way out the fence. She is safe by the way and we made sure the fence was stable.
This person made me feel horrible for raising my voice at my dog. Not matter what I say, I’m the bad person. I FEEL HORRIBLE and already feel bad for doing it in the past. I did have a sit down talk with my dog and told her that was scared and worried about her. And how sorry I was for raising my voice🥲.
Disclaimer: we don’t yell or scream at our dog. Only time we yell is when she can’t hear us whistle for her when she goes pee in the backyard, we have a huge backyard for her to run and play. She’s an ole doggy but with puppy behavior 🥰.
I know it’s not ok to raise your voice at anyone. INCLUDING ANIMALS because with out them, I’d/we’d be nothing. I feel that my reason I raised my voice is justified. 430
I just wanted to share how this person made me feel and I’m sure other people have had similar experiences.
If I’m in the wrong, I’ll emit it, but I don’t feel I am. I’ll answer any questions.
Edit: when I mean raised my voice, I mean like one level from my regular voice. Not screaming or yelling.
Edit 2: I know I spelled your wrong 😂. I’m very frustrated.
UPDATE:
THE PERSON WONT STOP HARASSING ME. I blocked them, but I’m still getting the messages.
Clarification and Update 2:
I do want to let everyone know that I did report and block this person. They just kept going. It felt like a stab in the heart, especially when the said that they were glad my dog was deaf. I was trying to defend myself and my dog, but this person used everything I said and turned it into something else. Major Gaslighting. I did want to put this persons handle on here to warn other pet owners and Reddit users. I want to be the bigger person. All I have to say is please avoid anyone with a cocoa butter handle and teal hair on their avatar. I DON’T want anyone or other pet owners be accused by this entailed bully. The interaction is below on another post about my dog and DSL.
I am still open to input and other people perspectives. Thank you 430
