I was in a patient's apartment earlier today when my pants leg was assaulted by a yappy dog. You know, one of those small breeds that act like they're on crack, pawing at any part of visitors with which they come into contact. The patient and his wife kept trying to order the dog off me, throwing in the occasional "some people don't like dogs", supposedly directed to the dog in question. I felt like adding "dogs that can't stay the hell away from my person and my equipment, that is". WTF, yo.

I totally agree. I hate little yapping dogs. Big dogs, or the rarely seen quiet little dog, I'm cool with.

I wasn't sure how to parse part of your post: " ...quiet little dog... "

Did you really mean to put those three words together?

As I said, they're very rare. I think they may have had their vocal cords bred out of them or something.

Truth be told, I did know one leetle dog that did get quiet at times.

That's when someone had to spring into action and drag the dog away. Quickly. It meant the person the dog was next to was about to get whizzed on.

*grin* Little dogs that know their place? Adorable. I have another patient who has a boxer/pit mix that's sweet as all hell and a little pocket dog that stays at her side at all times. By choice, that is. No problems there. It's these other folks that make me want to rant and rave.
