you were far more polite than i'd've been. i'd've probably told her i thought DOGS were inferior!
why bite your tongue?Originally Posted by beturtlement
She took one look at the carrier, saw that it was a cat, and made this sour milk face, "Oh.. it's a /cat/." She says, all disdainfully. "I don't like cats. I'm a /dog/ person. Cats are inferior." I really had to bite my tongue.

i'd've sent him a return email with a link to the carrier, showing the cost, & advising him that Tonka was a prize-winning show cat, valued @ $xxxx.xx, & requesting reimbursement for the carrier, plus Tonka's pain & suffering. then i'd've threatened him w/small claims court!Originally Posted by gayef
Dear Madam,
My dog is, after all, a DOG. I am sorry if YOU were offended by his behavior, but that's what DOGS do. It is a DOG thing and I am not sorry he acted like a DOG. That's why I have a DOG. I like how they are. Dr. XXX suggested that I offer to purchase a new carrier for you since yours was ruined, but I find that is putting too much into what happened.
Again, and only because Dr. XXX said I had to apologize to you, I am sorry you were offended.
Hee! That's great. My vet came out after the woman had already left and asked me, "Did I hear that right, I was in the back. That woman just said she didn't like your cat?!" Folding her arms and tapping her foot. She even moved to the front window to see if she was still in the parking lot as if she would have said something to her if she were still there. My vet nicknamed Niko "Mr. Moosh" 'cause he's such a friendly cuddle bug and she was genuinely dismayed that another one of her patients' moms would have said such a thing.Originally Posted by Jalindal
...but the vet- who really loves Mackerel and who I see quite regularly when I stop in to buy treats/food/litter/toys smiles at this woman, and says "She just doesn't want you to feel bad. Please make your way to exam room one." then he winks at me and follows this woman in there. XD
