Boy, am I in trouble...
May. 21st, 2006 04:41 pmWho would have thought that just taking my dog for a walk could create such havoc?
I took my Poochmonster to the shops to buy milk and a couple of other things, and on the way back he stopped to take a dump. So far everything normal. As I rummaged in my bag for a poo bag to pick up after him, a pair of small dogs came along, Bosworth pounced, the lead slipped out of my hand and suddenly Bosworth is violently 'playing' with these small dogs, while the owner is screaming and frantically trying to get between them. I finally manage to drag Bosworth away, to strains of 'get your fucking dog away from them!' then proceed to do what I had originally intended (good civic-minded person that I am). Slight delay in proceedings whilst I give Bosworth the most severe reprimand of his life. Owner of small dogs comes back, demanding my name and address - Bosworth has drawn blood on one of her small powder-puffs - so I apologetically oblige, whilst keeping a firm grip on my Poochmonster. Owner - who was a complete bitch, quite apart from anything that had happened to her dogs - storms off with a 'you'll be hearing from me'.
What if she demands that I have Bos put down? What if I get fined? Will I have to make him wear a muzzle?
How could my beautiful boy have done this?
Time to clamp down. Again.
