Wilbur Went Limp

Apr 29, 2011 15:18

Poor Wilbur really did hurt himself on our walk last night. He's having a hard time putting weight on his leg today and was able to tell me that his knee *and* his foot hurts. I was feeling around on the back of his leg and there's firm lumpy area that isn't on his other, uninjured leg. I'm wondering if he might've pulled a muscle. He got a ( Read more... )

Poor Wilbur, i hope he is okay. Those other doggies are lucky to have You as a neighbour. i wouldn't like to lie down in poop either.

I gave her a treat, she let me pat her on her head, and when I backed up to leave, she started getting weirdly aggressive, lunging at me. I think she wanted me to stay and was upset that I was leaving, and expressed it very badly. I wasn't going to get close enough for her to figure out how to say it with fewer teeth.

You're more patient than I. There's one dog in my neighborhood that I think is cute...a little Pomeranian I think. But it yaps alllll the time, every time I run by. So I stopped one day and pet him for a while but when I stood up to leave, he lunged on his leash and bit my pants legs enough to rip a little hole (but thankfully didn't bite me). The owner just shrugged and said, "yeah...he's like that." and didn't seem at all apologetic that he had bit me (and had seemed similarly unperturbed when he snapped at my hands earlier in the conversation). I've given up on the dog though. I figure the owner isn't trying to socialize him.
I'd look forward to a book by you. I like reading your posts after all. Sorry to hear Wilbur's hurt. Hope he heals quickly.

I hear over and over again, mostly from Cesar Milan, that bad dogs aren't bad because there's something inherently wrong with them, but because their people aren't working with them correctly. Sounds like the Pomeranian's owner is fine with him snapping at people. Dick.

yeah...the Pomeranian's owner acted like it was just normal for him to bite. "haha...now he wants you to stay!" the owner laughed. :P

The greyhound's owner was really apologetic though and said that the dog really wasn't usually like that at all...just something about runners sets him off. So I figure there's hope for the greyhound and will keep trying to pet him :)
