Piss well and truely boiled

I feel your pain. I try to avoid folks on most of my walks, but the weekends are the worst. The weekends are when the fair weather plonkers descend on the countryside in droves. I call them Weekend Warriors. Their dogs are usually the ones that only get a decent walk on the weekends and they are, more often than not, sorely under stimulated, poorly trained and over excited at the smell freedom. Many Weekend Warriors let their fat b@stard dogs run riot, attacking all and sundry, and can't for the life of them see just how wrong that is. Weekend Warriors also chant a mantra ... the chant of 'He only wants to play' while their dog is trying to remove a chunk of flesh from yours. The Warriors generally have no clue about body language or basic training.

 

And if the dogs aren't hooning about unchecked with their hackles up, they're tethered to their pale human counterparts by 'flexi leads' which, in my opinion, should be more illegal than automatic weapons.

 

I hate walking on weekends.

Took the terrier for a run round the farm today and then had a walk round the usual route which is unfortunatly used by every idiot and their fat pet, the sort of place which has a bag of shit hanging from every tree.

 

Walking down a straight stretch of track i spotted a couple and a small white JRT about 100yards away so i put mine on the lead which i ALWAYS do when i see another dog on or off the lead ahead. Mine aint a fighter or in any way vicious as i have found with most working dogs. They seem to have alot self respect than the fat pets!

 

Anyway these 2 fools are walking along hand in hand with the terrier about 30yds ahead coming straight toward me. I always keep an eye on the other dogs posture and behaviour as it comes towards me and this one was low to the ground and hair on end on its shoulders. It steams past my terrier and the hedge and as soon as its past goes for the ass end of my bitch wwho turns and snaps at it. I can on walking expeting it to bugger off but it just kept having a go. In the end this tool of a man comes over bent over double trying to pick this poxy little fat thing up all the while mine and his dog are having a right set to and im in a right tangle with the lead. Id had enough so placed my boot under the fat ones gut and mearly lifted it off the ground and flung it in the hedge enough so its out of my terriers way and he grabs it and passes it to his missus like a baby.

 

He then turns to me and says " oh come on now, there was no need to kick my dog". I couldnt believe him so i layed into him good and proper saying if i had kicked it he would have been waiting for it to land still and explained that i always keep mine on a lead to avoid such problems and advised him he ought to do the same. He just kept going on and on about his dog being 'kicked' so in the end i told him we best just walk away from i give him a kick.

 

Why do some people find it so bloody hard to put their dogs on leads when coming up to another strange dog?! I never saw the point on posting about this things before as iv had a few set to's before but this one really pissed me off

 

Used to always put mine on lead when strange dogs are around but he wasdragged into some bushes by 3 old english sheepdogs. They ripped a hole in his leg, chest and bit off the last half inch of one of his ears before I could pull them all off. Mine was on the lead at the time but slipped it somehow when they attacked him.

 

Now if he is on the lead and he sees another dog he gets very nervous and will try to bite any dog that comes close enough. I keep him on a very short lead and muzzled so he can't injure another dog but as you can imagine he is very nervous of other dogs now while he is on the lead. He is getting much much better around strange dogs while on the lead but its taking time. Strangely it seems to be only collies he hates now.

 

Because of this I will always let him off if I see another dog coming as he is friendly to other dogs off the lead as he knows he can run if they get aggressive and they wont ever catch him. His recall is good also so I can call him to me if the other dog gets a bit excited.

I was out with my old terrier that wouldn't back down from a fight,and a big Shar Pei rushed us,so I picked up the terrier,and the bloody Shar leapt up at me trying to get to her,so I put the boot right under his chin and launched it straight onto it's back,then this geezer cmae up,a right arsehole vest/tattoos and muscles saying he would do the same to me so I said that if he felt that way then he ought to have a pop,and that I would definitely oblige him,all the time this fecking shar is still jumping up,and as he did feck all about it I drove a good one in and he ran off yelping like a pussy,at which I put the terrier down and beckoned the bloke on,he decided it would be better to gather his dog and pi55 off,but,as you say they are a real pain in the butt these people shouldn't have dogs.
