I‘ve seen and read some horrid stories in the news recently but tonight, this one takes the biscuit. I sincerely hope that whoever did that to the poor dog gets the same treatment back.
This has set me off on a tangent with regard to dogs. I love Milly, and as I write this she is sat right next to me and in a manner of speaking, she, along with my cats is an extension of me. I care for Milly by providing her with good food, water, exercise and plenty of fuss. When I walk her, I always, ALWAYS carry poop bags to clean up her ‘mess’. I have control of her, she is never off-leash, given that I live in an urban environment. If she sees another dog and seems like she’ll get aggressive then I calm her and the situation down and walk away. I do not allow strangers to come up to her to pet her, regardless of whether they’re children or not (and just because she’s small doesn’t mean she wont bite!)
So if I can do that, why cant the other dog owners around?
Why do I see dogs, usually Staffies, running around without leads? It matters not that they may have good recall, because as Norma quite rightly states, all dogs have instincts and what happens when it sees another dog and bolts over?
Also, why the fucking fuckity fuck can’t people pick up after their dogs? I mean technically it’s an offence to leave dog turds laying around but judging by the amount of crap I have to dodge round here it’s not a law that’s enforced. At least I hope it’s dog poo, because if not then the alternative is a bit grim!
I honestly despair at some people.
