Well, it happend again this morning. Another dog incident involving me and my blackthorn while out on a walk. Different neighborhood, different dogs.
This time it happend at 6:20 AM. It was light out by then. Just as I was approaching a house, I saw a guy opening the front door from inside. There were bushes in the way obstructing my view, but as I got closer, two golden retrievers and some small black mutt tore straight toward me, barking their fool heads off. Apparently the owner hadn't noticed me when he let them out. He attempted to call them back, and said that they wouldn't bite. They weren't too quick to run back to him, and I backed away holding my stick pointed them, ready to push away or whack over the head or wherever I could if they got too close. The golden retreivers didn't attempt to get too close when I had my stick pointed right at them. It was like a magic wand. They kept barking, though. The little black mutt was the last of the three to want to push his luck, but he didn't get within reach of me and the blackthorn. Like the last time, it was over in maybe 15 seconds, and I didn't say a word. I was too busy concentrating on the dogs and the stick.
I don't know what it is with me and dogs lately, or why people let them loose when there is a city ordinance making a leash manditory, at least off their property. I'd have to research that. I probably could have them cited for it.
Get yourself a stick if you take a walk somewhere...I'm glad I did, again.
