Dear Abby advises a woman whose had money stolen from her, a woman whose been attacked by off-leash dogs, and a woman whose husband has started cross-dressing.
I met a Realtor when I sold my house. He represented the buyer. After the sale, he represented me in a rental property. Then he said he wanted to partner with me in purchasing properties. We also formed what I thought was a relationship. After he borrowed $750 from me and didn’t repay it, and I refused to loan him any more, he ghosted me.
On several occasions, dogs have jumped up on me, almost knocking me to the ground. I’m in my late 60s, under 5 feet and weigh 105 pounds. I could easily be injured. I was once attacked and bitten. My question is this: What’s the best thing to say to these dog owners when they finally appear? The last time it happened, the owner happily said to her, “I know you’re excited, but …” The rest I couldn’t hear because she had already passed me on the trail. Abby, she saw her dog jump up on me and never even acknowledged me. I don’t want to respond angrily or sarcastically, but in a friendly yet firm manner. —You are far too nice, lady.
If you haven’t already talked with him about this, do it now. As a regular Dear Abby reader, you may appreciate that on a scale of one to 10, this problem isn’t world-ending. However, such a sudden change in behavior is worth exploring further. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
