Not the best week

I guess im about to have a moaning session, it's not been the best week and to be honest without wishing my life away I will be glad when this week is over.

It started last weekend with Keisha becoming lame as previously stated, if that wasn't bad enough on monday I woke up with ear ache, its gradually got worse all week and it doesn't help because I cant hear anything out of it, Ive still got it now and if its no better tomorrow im going to have to drag myself to the doctors to get it sorted. On top of that, the roads are just crap, as much as I like snow I will truly be glad to see the back of it. It's been a nightmare to get to and from work and also having to drive around in it whilst im there too. There has been plenty of accidents and lots of bollards and traffic lights have been taken out too (used as stopping pads for sliding cars).
On top of all that, Zippy was attacked by a Rottweiler earlier in the week. I was walking home with Ronny, Zippy and Pudsey when I heard this man shout "Oi come here" It didn't sound great so when I looked behind I could see this guy shouting at his loose Rotty running my way.
Now Ive been involved with dogs for years, even been a police dog handler and managed some horrors with right attitudes, but I can honestly say this was the scariest dog Ive ever seen. It immediately went for Zippy and grabbed him on the neck, thankfully for all of us Ronny was on hand, he jumped on this dog and grabbed it on the face to get it of Zippy which thankfully it did let go of him, the only problem was Ronny and Rotty were now scrapping. I shouted to the stupid man who was stood bear footed with a pair of shorts and a t-shirt to come and get his dog, looking back it probably looked a bit like a comedy sketch, he tried to grab the dog by its collar but it slipped it and caused the man to fall backwards on his arse (hehe).

After the man finally got control of his dog he just walked off with not even a sniff of an apology or checking to see if the dogs were ok. What actually happened was the man had let his dog out for a wee but didn't check to see if anyone was around, a bit stupid considering his dog was a fighter, its people like him that give us dog owners a bad name and dogs a bad reputation.

On a positive note none of my dogs were hurt, Zippy doesn't appear to be bothered and Ronny thinks he is ace, not that I approve of aggressive dogs but on this occasion im glad Ronny was brave, if he hadn't of jumped in I honsetly dont think Zippy would be here today.

  1. That is such a awful situation to be in, glad Zippy is ok. I have been walking Hamish when a rhodesian ridgeback flew out of a gate and started attacking him, it is my worst nightmare!

  2. Sorry to hear that JO. If the dog already has a reputation like that, why is nobody doing anything about it? I am sorry for Zippy and well done Ronny.... I am usually the one with problems like that. My boys recentley showed another dog that it is not a good idea to go for Amy.
