What a weekend. My wife and two of my kids got up Saturday morning to go to a fun run. While they were there, our dog, which was on a leash, was attacked by a dog not on a leash. I'm not going to go into all the details, but the owners are idiots. Our dog got 12 stitches - poor thing.
Then today, I took him on a walk in the late afternoon. We came to a street and we saw this medium sized dog in someone's drive way. It was not on a leash. It came running towards us. I told me son to get me a big stick. Once he gave the stick to me, the dog backed off a bit, but was barking madly. The owner finally game out to get the dog. I yelled over to her that our dog was attacked and bit just the day before. She acted all shocked.
Then tonight, I took our dog out for a little stroll before bed. As I came back to our home, some guests of our neighbors were leaving and they had two dogs. One of them came running out towards me and my dog! I had my big flashlight with me and was ready to give the dog a good thumping. I shone my light into its eyes and it backed off. The lady said, "he's friendly" and I replied, "nope, you need to get your dog on a leash right now." She scrambled to get him and finally had to get someone else to get a hold of the dog. After they got a hold of him, I explained that our dog was attacked the day before by a dog not on a leash.
This is so weird. It's like our dog has a target on him this weekend.
Other than that, the weekend was gorgeous - I got lots of yard work done; went on walks, runs, bike rides and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
I also spent a lot of time watching the NCAA tourney. Looks like I'm going to win my family's bracket challenge.
