... while walking my dogs, total strangers have approached me and told me my (one) dog is overweight, even implying I’m abusing him.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: I’ve begun walking our two beagles around our quiet neighborhood, both for their benefit and mine. One of the dogs has always been chubby, but both are well-loved and have always been well cared for.
How do I respond to these accusations, short of locking the dog in the house and never leaving, which isn’t fair to either of us?Before you complain to Miss Manners that such an answer is too polite for someone who just implied that you are abusing your dog, she points out that a five-word answer, delivered with slightly compressed lips, is not an admission of guilt, a display of enthusiasm, nor a commitment to act.
I mumbled something about how I knew I would have regretted failing to mention my fondness for that particular film when I had the chance. I then made a hasty retreat and didn’t speak to him for the rest of the evening.
