(22,240 posts)I had the dog for a few years, he was my late mother's dog and I swore I'd care for him until he died on her death bed.
As for me, I'm not in good health and walk with a cane and I sure cannot run.
I think these thugs types around where I live (and there are more of them with dogs off-leash just around the corner!) get off on having there big macho dog out there lurking around just waiting to jump on or scare the hell out of the likes of people like me walking a little dog like I had.
To think they'd enjoy watching a disabled woman trying to walk with a cane have to try to "run" away is sickening and grostesque.
After my Sheltie died, I never managed to find another dog as I just don't know what to think and yes, I'll admit it, I am scared to get another dog out of fear that the same thing will happen again.
These people are still around. Some of them keep these mean dogs behind fences that could easily be jumped; I know it and so do they.
is the point of this?
