What a week!

This has not been a good week for Yankee and I. I'll be glad when it's over.

We just came back from the dog park. We met another owner with a doodle and talked and walked together while the dogs played on and off. The sun is shining and it is a beautiful day. We are reaching the end of our walk when a lady with two akitas or huskies (not sure) passed us going the other way. One of her dogs jumped Yankee, had him down on the ground growling and all I could hear was Yankee yelping. I grabbed the other dog by the collar with both hands and pulled him off. I firmly asked the lady if she had a leash and she said yes and put it on her dog.

Three people came over to check if Yankee was OK because they heard the commotion. I checked him over and didn't see any injuries but he was shaken up. I dusted him off and kept walking. By the time we got to the end of our walk, he seemed almost himself again. I am so glad he wasn't hurt.

I am glad that both YOU and Yankee are ok! It is scary, but it a risk taken at the dog park. Easy to say right? I think it was probably much harder on you than on him. That is how it would be for me anyway.....

So glad Yankee is ok. I can't believe that you had to pull the other dog off and it's owner didn't attempt to do it. Some people!

I so hate to hear that story. We should start a disucussion about "the good, the bad, and the ugly about dog parks". I won't take Lucy until she is at least 6 months and I think she can handle the bad humans. (I'm sure most of the dogs will be OK).

It's too bad because I love this dog park, it's beautiful. I am getting braver and I will jump right in there if I have to.
