:rant: I cant stand them, they let their dogs do their stuff where ever and walk off, yet us racing folk with dogs that others see as vicious are the most responsible out there. Well behaved and cleaning up after out little beauties.

Tonight while having a quiet beer with the wife,daughter and dog ( the dog drinks Jim Beam!!) another dog was roaming the pub garden with not a care in the world nor did the owner have an idea where his dog was.

Next thing I know all hell breaks loose and ezra has another dog attached to his throat. soon separated the owner then says i was at fault and new nothing about dogs. His parting comment was for me to calm down as their were children about. Yes there was, most of which were under 5 and if his dog had put his mouth around one of them well i dread to think. I hope he thinks next time.

Enough off the soap box.

See you all in a week. some one has to come last, might as well be us.

I only go for the beer

Nearly forgot, ezra is ok. no holes so he wont sink if he goes for a swim.

Hm - I'm afraid I too know what you mean. Irresponsibility of some dog owners really makes my blood boil.

I am pleased that you managed to keep calm and that your dog is well.

What a nasty thing to happen in a beer garden. Glad you areO.K. mate.

I hope to see you at the championships, although I can't run as I have torn a ligament in my knee and am off racing for 3 months. Still I can watch you and we can eye the young lassies up together.

yup met an irresponsable owner today !!!!! u cant u keep ya dog on a lead i asked? i was told to get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

i'm afraid that irrisponsable dog owners will be around 4ever. i've had loads of trouble had a black german shepherd bitch called piper billiant dog soft as anything like a little lamb but had to have her put to sleep about a month ago for attacking my staffy this only happened due to the amount of stray dogs comming around she was protecting the house we think and cass the poor staff got in the way it was horrible took col my other half 10 mins get piper off cass i've seen dogs attack but never as bad as this she wanted to kill. i'm devastated all because people don't care they just kick there dogs out on the street they don't care about the consequences for other people. i had to have my pippy put to sleep was nothing else we could do . no rescues would take her cause of the attack don't think i would have been able to trust her though as got a 6 month old baby so guess it was resposible thing to do was the hardest thing i've had to do in along time. think its about time people were fined for not keeping there dogs in or on leads in public places .

so sorry to hear about pippy but its good to know there r some responsible dog owners like yourself still around. u did the right thing especially as u have a little baby, but i can imagine how upset u r.

It is quite scary when little ones are around. We have a nine month old who was on my knee at the time and julia the wife had a friend little one there as well.

sorry to hear that you had to put a dog down, i don't know if i could handle it myself.

Dogs are our best friends. The always listen and never talk back.

its the worst thing i have ever had to do its hard enough putting a dog down when theres something wrong but when there perfectly healthy its soul destorying. i miss pippy like crazy because she was of a medium coat if you were upset you could hide your face in her long coat while she'd sit there and let you cuddle her. the one thing i can take out of this is she had a litter of puppies late last yr my brothers got one and she's identical to pippy so she lives on in them she had 8 girls all of them were jet black 6 medium coated and 2 long coated who looked like scruffy little rats but they were the first to go! you don't get many pure black gsd especially peds so we were lucky had to drive 250 miles though to use a all black stud dog on the off chance it would work. suppose that at the end of the day should be thankful that cassie is ok she's an old girl now and like alittle baby but think all staffs r like that there like whippets in that respect!!
