nobody puts baby in the corner...or a headlock

last night tatum and i had an altercation with a neighbor that we have met before. we were out on a walk and she saw him and got all excited and wanted to go say hi to him and his collie, gracie. he said "is she a puppy?" and i realized he did not remember us. i said "yes, she'll be a year in october." then he was petting her and i was watching them and couldn't quite figure out if the leashes were tangled or just what and he said "i don't like you jumping up any more than she does" refering to his dog. at that point i realized he had tatum in a sort of headlock, with her feet still on the ground but he was pushing her down. i snapped "let go of her. we'll move on." he looked up at me to figure out if i was joking. i have to admit, even i was stunned at the tone of voice that came out of this moma bear. he quickly realized not only was i not joking but i was PISSED. he let go of her as i pulled on her leash and we stomped off on our way. he called after me "she'll grow out of it." i have SO many issues with this.
1) he's not a trainer.
2) if he was a trainer he would know she's a wheaten terrier.
3) if he realized she was a wheaten terrier he would have known that's the "wheaten greeting" they warn people about before they buy them.
4) had he not been holding onto her i would have been able to pull her leash back so that she would not jump up on him as that is what we do until she gets all 4 paws on the floor at which point she is rewarded with slack.
5) she was the timid puppy of the pack, so the fact that she is that excited to see any stranger warms my heart that she has made so much progress in the trust category.
i came home and told paul and he mulled it over for a few mintues then said "do you know where this guy lives?" lucky for him i only know that he lives in "the blue house down the street." well, we live in one of those planned subdivisions, so the houses go terra cotta, yellow, green, blue, terra cotta, yellow, green, blue. otherwise bob would have a black eye today.
