I am struggling right now to get back to sleep after having a nasty confrontation with a stupid neighbor of mine yesterday. Long story short, she has two dogs, one of which is aggressive, neither of which listen to her. Her dog barked and lunged at the end of his leash towards Frankie and me, and when I asked her to control her dog as I am 8months pregnant and not interested in breaking up a fight, she asked me if my dog was aggressive. This while her dog is barking at me, snapping and baring his teeth. My dog was calmly walking by my side. I tried to walk away from her, upon which she either dropped the other dog's leash or he pulled out of her hand. Naturally he didn't come when called over five times, and was much more interested in following me home. Stupid dog owner kept coming towards me with aggressive dog, then yelled at me for walking away because she needed to get her other dog's leash. She still somehow feels that I am at fault here, despite the fact that her one dog was clearly (to me anyway) about to attack us and the other one apparently doesn't even recognize his name let alone come when called. I was told, "This dog doesn't bite" and "He's been around you before" to which I responded, "There's a first time for everything and I don't want to be the one to help you realize that" and "Yes, and he's done this everytime."
Why oh why are people so stupid about their dogs? Why can't they all just stay on their side of the street and leave me alone? Why do they think their dogs speak English in complete sentences? Why must they all own retractable leashes? How can they possibly confuse straining at a leash and barking wildly with friendly behavior?
Most importantly though, Why am I not allowed to shoot owner, dog or both?

There are things more important than eating... I guess?
