It Was the Right Thing 2 Do

Maddie and I went for a walk tonight. Unfortunately, she did a #2 in front of a cute guy's gate leading up to his front door. I picked it up, but it still left a small smear on the pavement. He said something to me in German. I told him I don't speak German. He then asked if I could have her "shit" down the sidewalk, not having her "shit" in front of his door. I replied, "Listen, I pick it up. I do my best." A few seconds later, it turned into a pissing match. I then turned and walked away as he was yelling, "Next time, I'll kick the dog."

So, as I walked around the block, I realized I was an ass and that I may have misunderstood his demeanor. Because sometimes, when Germans search for the right English words, it comes off a bit harsh. As a result, I made my way back home, dropped Maddie off, then returned to apologize. His friends were outside. I asked them if he was upstairs. He then came down, I said I was sorry, that I was somewhat of an ass, and that I'd do my best to keep the poo away from this gate. We shook hands, smiled, and I returned back home. It was the right thing to do. Oh, and did I mention he was cute?
