I have a 9 month old Rottweiler, Biggie. He is my pride and joy! He is a full pedigree and i take owning him very seriously. He attends Kennel club with me and we train daily, with a trainer weekly. he is a super puppy with a great personality-he will have a bark at the fence is anyone comes close or knocks on the door, but one word 'enough' from me and he sits and waits. I give him a bone, tell him 'its mine, leave it!' and he does, albeit grudgingly, but he surrenders it!
So imagine my despair and annoyance when Biggie is in the yard between our garage and kitchen (someone was mowing the lawn so he was in puppy prison! and the local neighbourhood (we live in a gated community) pain in the ass jack russell/terrier type dog comes running around, makes a beeline for Big and starts growling, scrappy and literally throwing itself against the bars of the gate. He got a hold of Biggies nose and wouldn't let go! Big was jumping up and down, nose between the bars and this little rat of a dog was holding in! I was screaming at it to 'shoo' and it only left when a bucket of water was thrown over it. I couldn't believe me eyes, i have never seen so much blood, it was pouring out of Biggie, his nose, his face and his tongue. I could hear the owner of the little beast shouting 'whats happened? was he (her rabid little rat) attacked?!' I could hear one of the workers say no, he was biting the Rott! It took ages to stop his bleeding, so much so that Iwas about to put him in the car and drive to the vet. No to mention the fear that if you let your dog, who you know growls at adults, kids and other dogs, out to roam the streets, can you be sure its fully vaccinated and clean?
That woman is so irresponsible, she opens her gate in the morning, the brat comes out, heads straight for my plot and barks, tries to dig under the garden fence, and is generally a viscous pain near my house and my dog all day. And I mean ALL DAY. The number of times I have tried to shoo it away and it turns at growls at me! Well beaware little dog, if there is a next time I wont be throwing water on you, it will be my size 5 up your bum!
There was so much commotion and I think she heard me loudly remonstrate that no other dogs in the neighbour hood roam the streets causing trouble so why should that one, that I think, judging by the sounds of hammers and nails, that she has secured her garden. About time too.
So I say, don't stereotype the dog, judge the owner. A little dog doesn't necessarily = a friendly little thing and a heavy, clumsy rottie doesn't always = a beast that will tear through your flesh.
Here is a photo of my baby, you see; he's a softie and I love him! My Biggie Boy! :oP
Good morning how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Zambia? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Zambia in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
Emilio your postcard and stamp will be in the post this weekend! your collection is impressive!
