Little Kids + Unknown Dogs - Need Advice

[Vicon]

Here's the scoop. I am sitting at my desk and I hear our dogs starting to go wild. Outside the window I see two little kids. One was like 2 or 3 the other a little older. Both were messing with the dogs. I go out and they are leaving. The other kid comes back and starts poking the stick through the fence at the dogs. All this lasts a couple minutes.

I again go out and ask the parents what the problem is and not to let the kids do that. I said please, keep the kids away from the fence and the dogs. The dad perks up and says there just kids. I said, the fence is there for a reason and if the kids get bit, you're going to come after me. Keep them away.

He I guess does not like that answer and comes over to "discuss" it. He said what's your problem. I told him, my problem is the fence is here for a reason and you need to keep your kids away from the dogs. He said they were not hurting anything and they are just kids. I said until they get bit and you come *****ing at me. Keep them away.

He gets all belligerent and obnoxious now. He has a full glass of wine and is clearly intoxicated. I asked him to leave and not let his kids do that. He spouts off some more crap and I finally told him to f off. Three times to be exact. His wife said there is no need for the language and he again starts up and he nearly falls over as she is trying to pull him away.

I go back inside end of story.

Was I wrong? My language might be harsh but I have no regrets in using it. Some may have said to be more adult but it pisses me off. What parent in their right mind would allow a child, let alone two young ones, to go up to a fence, nearly 6 feet tall with 3, very large dogs barking loudly? Who would do that? Then to start complaining they are only kids?? WTF?

My dogs are not mean by any stretch, however they have never been around kids like that and I do not know how they would react. Let alone to a kid poking a stick through the fence.

Where is the common sense?
