I took Sam and Millie for a walk around the village an hour ago , both on lead and Millie wearing her bright blue buster collar which " should " make it obvious that she has a problem : Walking ahead of us and in the same direction was a lady with a beagle on lead , she was having great trouble controling the dog who was bounding and spinning around on the end of its lead but as she was ahead of us, it wasnt a problem until she decided to turn round, now walking towards us . There was a point at which should could have stepped to one side with her dog, into the village pub car park but no , on she plods with the dog, now barking like a mad thing . I couldnt cross over the road at this point due to a wall at the side of me , she was almost level when her dog, on a very long lead , swung accross in front of her, heading straight for Millie , snarling and lunging . I quickly reached down and picked Millie up , Sam thankfully ignored the dog , we hurried on past the lady who simply said " Oh he is a naughty lad , he doesnt like other dogs at all and your terriers big collar has upset him " Its not often I am speachless ...............
Re: Spitting feathers ! It beggars belief doesn't it? As if poor Millie hasn't had enough to deal with?! Well done Sam for taking it all in his stride, and well done you for acting so swiftly.
Re: Spitting feathers ! Hope you are all okay Kate. I think some dog owners should wear collars saying "I AM A STUPID DOG OWNER" To put an obviously sick/injured dog in that position is unforgivable and I'm not sure I would have remained speechless xx
Re: Spitting feathers ! Unbelievable well done for staying calm..... I agree with Helen with the owners wearing collars ;D
Re: Spitting feathers ! She's just lucky Sam is such a well-behaved, laid-back chap and didn't swing into defence of little Millie! Then I bet she wouldn't have been so unconcerned...
Re: Spitting feathers ! I don't know how I kept calm to be honest , the dog could have really caused damage to Millie , and after we have been so vigilant too , I always seem to think of what I should have said, when I get home :
Re: Spitting feathers ! Some people are just ridiculously dense! Well handled by all in your little gang
Re: Spitting feathers ! Glad you were able to pick her up. Poor girl. [quote author=charlie link=topic=7499.msg104616#msg104616 date=1408983362] "I AM A STUPID DOG OWNER"[/quote] ROFL!

She knows her dog doesn't like other dogs but she walks straight towards two approaching dogs! Either defective eyesight or defective in some other area ... : Anyway, well handled Kate.
Re: Spitting feathers ! Yes well handled Kate. Beggars belief doesn't it, some people? She knows her dog doesn't do well with other dogs but she still keeps walking towards you. Sounds like she didn't have a lot of control with her dog.
Re: Spitting feathers ! Unbelievable! A good thing you could pick her up, which couldn't happen with a big lab
