I hope this morning isn't an indication of how the rest of my week is going to be as my morning didn’t get off to a good start. As I walked out the door at 6AM with Toby, a man was walking his dog by our house. Toby immediately lunged at his leash and as I was coming down steps,he threw me off balance and the leash flew out of my hand. I didn’t fall but he raced out at the dog. I thought he would bark from a distance but he attacked the dog. I was horrified. The man got ahold of Toby’s harness and pulled him away but his dog bit Toby’s ear. He ran screaming across the neighbors yard and up to our front door. I asked the guy if he and his dog were ok and did it bite Toby. He said he and his dog were ok but he thought Toby was bit on his ear. I said good, maybe it will teach him a lesson. I was amazed Toby didn’t bite the guy as he just gets so crazy, but luckily he didn’t. I almost wish the guy had been carrying a taser and had given him a good shock. He slipped his harness one time when a neighbors dog ran out at him but that time he chased it and they both ended up calling a truce. Maybe the other dog being on the leash made a difference. I’ve looked Toby over and see no sign of an injury. I will have to start letting him out in the backyard again, tick season may be winding down a little as there has been no rain here in quite awhile.
I saw on FB that Coleen (Longdog2) was in Southern Illinois I sent her a message she was close to me but she may have already moved on. Would have liked to meet her.
I hope everyone else has a better start to their day. Good to see Barbie's jeep seems to be fixed!
