Dear Dog Owners: you might think your doggy is having fun when at the dog park they don't listen, or cute when they jump on others. I love pets - look at my houseful - but it's not cute when your dog misbehaves, and your 150 pound mastiff head butts me not once, but twice. If I can rescue two dogs who had no formal training, weren't even potty trained, you can teach your dog not to jump on others.
Yeah, I'm not happy. Since it wasn't raining yesterday, we decided to head towards the wooded trail dog park and get some mileage in off leash. First a guy with four dogs has one of his large labs jump on me, then the mastiff hit me, and then as we were leaving, a Burmese Mountain dog would not leave the Grumpy Princess alone. My blood pressure went through the roof, because it was that kind of dog that took a chunk out of the Pudgy Princess - in my head sometimes I forget it was Pudgy not Grumpy that happened to whenever we run into big, big, big dogs. That was the busiest we've seen that park - I guess we'll avoid it at that time of day from now on.
I rant though because it happens ALL the time - dogs jumping onto me. Half my bruises come from simple trips to the park. And very rarely will anyone say "I'm sorry" or even reprimand their dog. Don't get me wrong - my two have their moments, but they know when they are in trouble.
Today is one of those days where I can't seem to drink enough caffeine to keep my eyes open. They might as well just put caffeine in an IV for me - ha! ;)
I swear I just did four loads of laundry two days ago, and the pile has grown right back to what it was. Where does it all come from???
I really need a good sale on eggs this coming week, or I am going to have to break down. I cannot wait until we move and can have chickens. Sigh!
Poor Captain. Last night he was desperately trying to chew on one of his sister's bones. Not so easy when you hardly have any teeth left. :(
We still need to finish raking leaves in the yard. It just keeps coming down from the neighbor's tree!

Man, seriously - everyone is jumping on the zombie ship. EVERYONE. Take this: Eat Like a Zombie Apocalypse Survivor: Healthy Lessons from The Walking Dead Shape magazine. I love this magazine - I've subscribed on and off for years, but really? Can you get anymore so called trendy?
I love my zombies, but geez, I might have to jump ship - mainstream-ism is scaring me.

My in-laws have a 175 Great Pyranese that they take everywhere assuming people are cool want a drooling elephant at their house. They tell us. Love us, love the dog. He's our baby.
I can barely tolerate the in-laws let alone the damn dog...
They aren't welcome at 99% of their friend's houses anymore because of damage the dog has done that they think is cute.
It sounds like your time at the dog park wasn't exactly quality time...
I love dogs but I agree, someone should control theirs, particularly when they belong to the largest breed...
I assume you let the park volunteers know?
Blessings,
You know.. we can't take our dog to a dog park for fear that he WILL be the one to jump.. lol.. Ugh, I am sorry that happened to you..
I actually don't think he would jump on people.. but he probably would get a little too annoying to a dog that would rather him not... so, until he calms down a bit more.. we need to stay away from those.. ah well..
