Not a pleasant beginning to the day, took the boys out for their morning walk at about 8am, saw that the dog park was occupied with a dog that Louis has had trouble with in the past (was attacked by said dog in the park), so we walked a different route instead. All the morning duties were accomplished, so we were just about to head up the stairs to home, and the owner of the dog in the park walked her big dog into the back end of my twosome. Chaos ensued, dog went after Louis, she barely got him pulled back, then the dog went after Silk (who doesn't react to anyone negatively). She could have taken a different route, she could have avoided everything. Gratefully Louis followed commands and went a few steps up the stairs and Silk just moved away on his own. People that cannot control or properly socialize their pets just piss me off. I yelled at the woman, I believe that everyone on my side of the complex heard me, her beast attacked my Pugs and she's all just, "I just live over there" and that should explain everything. I've still got too much adrenaline pumping through me, still mad that an avoidable situation could have been avoided and wasn't because someone else did a stupid thing.
I posted that on facebook.
Now to add on, this is one of the few times in my life that I've ever really wanted to punch the crap out of someone. You did a stupid thing that endangered part of my family, and that really pisses me off. DAMN dumb ass that doesn't know how or really have enough strength to control this big dog, and you seemingly purposefully guide your monster into a situation that can cause trouble? Honestly, this is about 30 minutes after the fact and I'm still shaking from the surge of adrenaline that I released. I'm thankful that her retractable leash held, don't think that it's actually rated for as large a dog as she had on it, because if he had gotten away from her I would be talking to the police right now about killing her dog to protect mine. I would have done it, and honestly the knowledge of how to stop it from severely hurting or even killing either of my boys popped right to the front as a possible reaction. Now, to go report this incident to the management because this is just intolerable.
