And a couple other dogs. She is a horder .... tons of stuff in piles in the yard. And ..... she takes old food and bread and such and piles it in the street for varmits so they shouldn't go hungry. I've TOLD her she has to stop that, the dogs try to get at it and lord only knows whats crawling around in there.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway she cannot put a leash on this dog cause that makes it meaner. She sometimes manages a 20 foot rope on the thing. Tonight I saw the dog loose and crossed the street. The lady was walking more than a block behind her dog, walking with two more dogs on lead. The dang
thing charged across the street at LuLu and Gracie ..... I stood in front of them, held them on short lead behind my back, stood up as tall as I could. stamped my foot shouting BACK, BACK OFF ..... her dog had the tail pointed straight up, on tip toes, all hackles up, ready to go and the lady didn't want to get near it ..... she stayed on the other side of the street and was shouting at it to stop .... another neighbor heard the shouting and came out his door and was running toward me down the sidewalk ... he had something in his hand .... I don't know what .... he stopped about two doors away and when she saw him raise the hand with something in it she ran across the street and grabbed her dog and started slapping it in the face and shouting no, no, no, I'll never trust you again ....</div><div><br></div><div>I just took off walking as fast as I could with LuLu and Gracie right by my side. I didn't stop to thank the man or see what he had
in his hand but I'm buying pepper spray in the morning. And I'm so tempted to call animal control .... this dang dog has come after me and my dogs half a dozen times .... but it's a nasty old thing, they might just take away the old ladies dog and put it down. The house wouldn't stand up to any sort of inspection either and I'm not much for breaking an old ladies heart, even if she is crazy.</div><div><br></div><div>What do droolers think?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Dale</div><div style="position:fixed"></div>
