The only reason I hate running with my dog:
He gives off some kind of vibe that makes all the dogs we pass want to chase us, and subsequently attack us. In the past year we have been attacked by:
- A Chiwawa
- A yellow Lab
- The same Chiwawa
- A really old Golden Retriever
- The same yellow Lab
That’s not counting all the dogs that have chased us down:
- Another yellow Lab
- A Beagle
- Two Great Dane puppies (damn, those things are big)
- The same Chiwawa
- A Dachshund
- A Chinese Crested (in a sweater, no less)
- A Rottweiler mix of some kind
Don’t get me wrong: I love all the dogs. All of them. If I had the resources and patience to adopt a million dogs, I would. I just don’t appreciate them chasing me when I run.
I also don’t appreciate Rusty freaking the fuck out like a total spaz - but that’ my own fault for not training him well enough.
On a related note: I wish the people in my neighborhood understood the importance of NOT LETTING THEIR FUCKING DOGS ROAM THE STREET WHERE THEY CAN GET HIT BY CARS AND ATTACK OTHER DOGS.
Suffice it to say: my run today sucked.
