I am always totally astounded that there are people who can keep their hands and their hearts off their dogs. How do they do that? My heart is wound up in each of my pets (horses too!) and I cannot/would not avoid touching them, even if they would allow it. <br /><br />As for the adult Rotties....I feel bad for them too, in a different way. For a dog to become so aggressive probably had to have happened because of training...intentional or not. It could be bad breeding, but honestly it's at least as likely to be training. <br /><br />And to be so careless of the service provider...head shaking. <br /><br />I have a Corgi here who routinely gets a mesh muzzle when we get out of the car at the vets. I did not acquire him till he was 8 years old so many of his fears/behaviors are firmly entrenched. I like my vet to have all his fingers and parts of his face right where they have always been. I also like to HAVE a vet who wants my business. What some people forget is that vets don't have to accept clients and if they have a client who puts them in danger the client might have to find another. Besides, I firmly believe that all dogs should be accustomed to wearing a muzzle quietly. Life happens and some day they may have to wear one so it's to their (and my) benefit to be used to it already. <br /><br />*looks down carefully*<br /><br />gosh it's a long way down from this soapbox!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685436243608973979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589783647802842771.post-61961851359312526032009-08-29T08:50:41.055-07:002009-08-29T08:50:41.055-07:00that's totally funny.

It's...I've seen grossly overweight rotties. It's a sad thing. With the mass and strength they have to throw around... Well, those owners are lucky to have merely been nicked. With temperments like that, I daresay they live rather miserable lives.<br />:(<br /><br />The puppy, though... That's bording on criminal. You coulda made good use of a sniper on that owner. Hitting him in the ego would've done him (and his puppy) a world of good. Mind you, you'd likely need a Ro-Bar RC-50 or one of the Barrett rifles to penetrate <i>his</i> ego.MaskedManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847118110075039840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589783647802842771.post-21720235255067896612009-08-29T00:10:42.007-07:002009-08-29T00:10:42.007-07:00I too wonder about the puppy.
O also wonder what ...I too wonder about the puppy.<br /><br />O also wonder what people do with dogs like the those Rotts? Why do they have them?<br /><br />Unless the animal is a working one that is exceptional and my lively hood is dependent on it, I will not have an animal like that nor be a person that turns one into that kind. (I'll find a way to work them out of that behavior.)Dragon43https://www.blogger.com/profile/10300731439715496511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589783647802842771.post-52807471985769157762009-08-28T23:45:45.914-07:002009-08-28T23:45:45.914-07:00This story brought back so many memories of my vet...This story brought back so many memories of my vet tech days!! It could be really scary sometimes. And sad sometimes, as when you meet an owner who absolutely doesn't give a damn.<br /><br />I think that most of the time it is well-intentioned but ignorant owners who create the "attack without warning" dogs - and they do it by punishing the dog every time it growls or gives any kind of warning that it is in some sort of distress, rather than helping the dog learn to cope with distressing situations.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378199204420558607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589783647802842771.post-39174635873282138212009-08-28T23:38:08.165-07:002009-08-28T23:38:08.165-07:00Thanks!

Sometimes life gets a little ahead of me... this has been a challenging spring for a variety of reasons, both good and bad; sometimes it kinda sucks the creative juices right out of me. Sorry about that.<br /><br />As for that pup... I never saw him again, though I've often wondered what became of him.
