it was. and I'm so very sick of there being cats all over the damn place. They make the dogs nuts, and - we were lucky this time, but it'll happen sooner or later, I just know it.
ugh, i know that panic feeling. i was walking puppy and a family was playing with their dog on a cul-de-sac across the street and up about a half a block. their dog saw puppy and took off running to greet us despite the family trying to call it back. its a busy street, and a car was coming, so i ran out in the road with puppy and waved frantically at the oncoming driver who stopped just in time. then me and puppy walked the dog back to his owners who werent far behind. the dogs owners were as grateful as i was that the car stopped in time. but oh that was an awful feeling.
Squish once managed to break his collar and dash into a busy road; he got across untouched, but the fucking great truck that missed him by ten inches took ten years off my life.
His recall is a million times better than it was, now; I've worked on it like crazy and he is pretty bloody good. I still usually keep him on his 20-yard longleash in the park, though. Enough length for him to run and have fun, enough strength to keep him safe.
every time puppy has escaped i think he's going to get over to the busy street and get hit by a car and then i'll lose him. ugh, awful feeling. heres to the hope that our boys stay safe!
That's one of the things I worry most about when out walking (or driving), or trying to catch loose dogs. It's terrifying to see them turn for the street.
Also, all of this, and people STILL argue that keeping their cats indoors is cruel and unusual, and outside is a safe, happy wonderland of rainbows and unicorns. Fuck every one of those people.
Wordy McWord Wordsson with a side order of fried WORD.
I'm so tired of other people's cats disrupting my walks. And this cat was lucky; but I know one day I'll walk into one that won't be and I just cringe to think of it.
I have to go out into the fucking yard before letting any of the dogs out to try and curb any cat-shit eating that might happen, because people's cats shitting in it constantly. Which, you know, with most dogs is just nasty, but with my dog, COULD ACTUALLY KILL HER.
I want to strangle everyone of these people with my bare hands.

Yikes! Close thing for all of you! Glad the cat was unhurt, although I think all of you may have shortened lifespans after that fright!
*hugs for everyone, including the cat*
