Last night I was walking Lady and Grace at about 8:30 or 9:00. It was dark and we are a little scary looking.
On the way back home a medium sized, scruffy looking tail less Collie ran out of his yard and approached us. Lady and Grace and this scruffy looking dog did the doggie circling, sniff your butt and I’ll sniff yours dance. I allowed them to do this since no one appeared to be too on edge and I’d like the neighborhood dogs to know Lady and Grace and be on good terms with each other. After a few minutes I told this scruffy looking dog to go home. He refused. Lady got a little antsy and nervous. I heard a voice in the background. “Cash?!” his bleach blonde trashy looking mommy called. “Cash, come here.”
Cash ignored her.
Lady tried forcing Cash home and Grace just bounced around.
Cash bounced around again avoiding his trashy looking mommy. Well, Cash bounced too close to Lady’s mommy and Lady wailed on him. She barked vehemently and growled. Cash’s trashy looking mommy want to grab her dog from the clutches of death but was afraid of loosing a limb or something. So I held my dogs back so she could get closer. Cash finally bounced away and zig zagged to the left and right and his trashy looking mommy zig zagged behind him off into the blackened horizon. He was not in the mood to go home.
I got no apology for this tail less creature getting loose. I gave none for my dogs scaring them either. I don’t feel guilty. Lady was simply doing what comes naturally. I feel great knowing she would protect me in a situation. I feel bad for Cash though. Lady could have made him a no tailed, no nosed bouncing purple people eater.
