Event - My wife brought a dog home from the pound without telling me. It was an annoying, barking, whiny thing. I didn't like it from the start. A couple weeks later the dog disappeared and the back gate was open. The night before I had taken out the trash, so I think I "accidentally" left the gate open and the dog left. I don't think I did it on purpose, but subconsciously maybe. Never found the mutt.
Apology - I don't think I did it on purpose, so I won't really apologize for that. But I did kinda chuckled about it to my wife, and that wasn't good at all. She liked the dog, and if I didn't I should have taken it back to the pound or sucked it up. Sorry honey.
Event - When I was in grade school, my family and I used to doggy-sit for these people about twice a year when they went on vacation. The dog was a sweet poodle who we really, really loved. However, when I used to take her on walks, especially at night, I would let her run ahead and then hide behind trees. She would totally freak out when she didn't see me and start crying and whimpering. I knew it was mean, but kind of entertaining at the same time.
Apology - I'm really, really sorry, Tiki. You were a great dog, and didn't deserve my tormenting. I just hope the rest of the time you spent at our house having fun made up for my ocassional mean-spiritedness.
Event - My two children begged me to buy them a puppy. After 8 months, I couldn't handle it anymore. The dog ruined my brand new carpet, chewed everything in site, and frankly he lost his cuteness. The boys went to visit their dad for the weekend and when they returned I told them the dog ran away, but really I brought him to the Humane Society.
Apology - I feel horrible! It's been over a year now and they still talk about him almost every day. I am sorry for not giving the dog a chance and only hope he found a good home. And for the my children, I hope someday they find their perfect pet.
Event - When I was a kid we had a dog that if you stood outside on one side of the glass door, and he was in the inside out of sight and you called him, he'd run into the glass door every time! You'd think he would have learned after the hundreth time. I guess his eyes were really bad.
Apology - Not very animal friendly of me. I would show my friends and stuff. Although I was very nice to Fetchers the rest of the time, that was very mean. Sorry F-dog!
Event - Our dog is not evil. But he was for one day. Charlie (the dog) was in the backyard with me when I heard some whistling in the front. So I opened the gate a little to see who it was. Charlie dashed out the gate and leaped on the whistler...an 83-year old woman. I quickly got him back, but not before he chomped on her leg - lots of blood. By then my wife came out and we brought her inside the house - so apologetic. Then the old lady lowered the boom. Smiling, she said, "If I could survive the Holocaust, I can survive your dog." Arg! She also mentioned later her son was a lawyer - great! But nothing became of it. She was walking by the house the next day, with a metal rod in hand. "My son said I have to carry this now on my walks."
Apology - She was so nice and said not to worry, but we felt so bad. We apologized a hundred times, but I'll do it again here. Sorry lady!
