I was across the street visiting with the neighbors and had my girl dog Gabby with me. [?="this dog right here"][/?] OOOh, I'm so mad at her. Lemme tell you about this dog first. She thinks she's my bodyguard. And I don't mean like the big guy with sunglasses standing around looking dangerous. I mean the type that always thinks they know better than you and that you're always being reckless, and if they had their way, you'd be hog tied in a closet...for your own good. No respect whatsoever. So at any rate, we were with the 'cross the street neighbors talking about religion and stuff...and I was doing pretty good. These people are God fearing folk, and are good people. Then the new neighbors come over...a nice young couple with a little baby. So we're making all nice and acting like respectable folk, and then I get hungry so it's time to go home. Well, I'm walking towards the street, and the nice young couple are walking back to their house, and the old couple that we were talking religion with were going inside... ...Well, about that time, Gabbie decided that she was going to do one of her 30 feet around me sweeps for man eating balloons, or mutant zombies or something, and she ran straight into an SUV bustin' ass down the street. Luckily, the driver saw her coming and swerved...she still was touching the side of the damn thing when it passed. So at that point, everyone in the neighborhood...including the nice young couple with their wee babe, and the old God fearing couple heard me utter the words... "GODDAMMIT YOU FUCKING DOG!!!!" She's okay, but I'm so damn mad at that dog!
Thanks. I learned my lesson though. We're in a pretty quiet neighborhood, and since she's never more than 30ish feet away from me, I figured that she'd be okay without a leash. My bad on that. Unless we're at the farm or in my back yard, she'll be leashed forever after this.
Yes. Leash is good. My old pal Spud was in my back yard, all fenced in, when I was at work. Spud discovered he could jump the fence and was hit and killed by a car that didn't even stop. I should'a had him on a lead, dammit. Poor ol' Spud. I still miss him.
Hell, i had a dog on a chain and she got lose of her collar and went chasing after cats and got ran over....so those aren't always foolproof either
I had a cat piss on a neighbor's foot once while we were mid-discussion. That time it was the neighbor's turn to shout FUCKING CAT! I was too busy trying to stifle my laugh when it happened to shout the well deserved obscenity.
Dude, Leash! Nikki's NEVER out of the fenced-in yard without we have her by the leash. It happens to be the law in this town, but it's also common sense.
The dog I had as a kid did that to a criminal court judge. Sophisticated commentary on the justice system, or just a dumb dog?
