Great post with very excellent points. Many...Karen,<br />Great post with very excellent points. Many people think that their dogs are as domesticated as humans. They expect them to behave like perfect citizens and when they dont, unfortunately many dogs find themselves at the mercy of the pound. It absolutely annoys the crap out of me when someone behaves irresponsibly and their pet pays the price for it. The first step in avoiding this is to "teach your children well". Thanks for enforcing the basics, as many people seem to foget them. :)<br />-LeighLeigh, Andrea Leigh Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627283116565322436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201631721768549372.post-4014842813840750422010-04-17T11:11:50.317-06:002010-04-17T11:11:50.317-06:00Art, I have heard of, probably, a half dozen peopl...Art, I have heard of, probably, a half dozen people that has happened to, over the years. Same story.....same outcome. Even I, bumped Happy one night with my foot and he woke up growling and biting. Fortunately, I yelled his name out and he realized it was me and stopped before he broke the skin. He too, was a little upset. It was very close. I believe it is purely instinct. That's why this warning is so important. Doesn't matter how "nice" your dog is. It can happen to anyone, any time. Thanks for your story Art! And I'm sure who ever said, "let sleeping dogs lie", probably had a scare on their nose too!Karen Thomason/Gordon Setter Crossinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05227448504530795035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201631721768549372.post-57431451286595499482010-04-16T18:44:42.369-06:002010-04-16T18:44:42.369-06:00Karen, you don't need to be a kid to do someth...Karen, you don't need to be a kid to do something stupid. Not that many years ago on Valentines day one of my setters was asleep on the bed and I thought she looked a little funny so a bent over and gave her a poke. I still have a scare on my nose and chin where she nailed me. She didn't mean it and was very upset when she realized what she did but it was my fault. A little closer to the eye and it could have been a lot worse Let sleeping dogs alone is not just an expression and I have the scars to prove it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
