There is the most handsome big black and white dog, strong, healthy, and loose half the time. I think he is part boxer and some large heavy big boned breed. He has a flat coat that is just striking with markings much like Danl's Daisy. He gave me a warning bite once when I tried to leash him up thinking someone actually gave a **** about him, silly me, I should have considered the neighborhood. He had seemed so jolly I wasn't expecting it, but i let him go quickly. Soon as these people get home out he goes. He tears up trash and relieves himself in other people's yards. It just kills me because I see so much potential in him. A little training..ok a lot of training and he could be spectacular, he is really smart That isn't' going to happen with the owners that have him now. :wall::wall::wall:
Yesterday when I was walking my dogs I saw him coming. I put mine in a sit stay. He kept coming, and I got ready with my drink of ice water. As soon as he was within range I let the fluid fly and it smacked him right in the face and down his back. He jumped back about 10 feet looking confused. I stomped my foot and said "GO HOME>>GET >>>>NONONO!!!! in my biggest lowest voice. He immediately about faced and headed home without looking back. That was when I heard Victor snicker. I kid you not, I have never heard him make such a sound. I looked down and he had this big cheese eating grin on his face.
They had never moved a muscle, my good dogs. Pepper still had her curious look as she watched him go.
I carry a big glass of ice water with me because it comes in handy not only for a drink but because there is a seriously annoying little pom that runs up and wants to play sniffy sniffy butts and I don't want him to. I would rather he be wary of dogs on leashes because he might run up to the wrong dog one day. Hey he needs a responsible home too! I also carry a hard piece of steel in my pocket should i need it. It isn't mace, which really is what we need to walk around here, but it is the next best thing. I can chuck a rock when I need to and I have a good aim.
These dog owners are something else. I have never experienced a neighborhood like this. I saw a dozen cats roaming this morning. My dogs think that is most interesting, better than watching squirrels. sheeeeeesh
