I'm a cat person, but I do love dogs...most dogs. It was funny, maybe 20 seconds after I ditched the doxies I got up to our neighbor's yard with her GSD. Seneca gave me a couple gentle woofs and I said "I know, Seneca...those guys are bozos." I think he agreed. Seneca is a kickass dog, as is the golden retriever kitty-corner across the street from us. Neither barks at us, but they will bark at other dogs in the neighborhood...almost like they're telling the noisy dogs to STFU. We have a funny beagle in the neighborhood who gets loose from time to time, too. He/she's funny. Yesterday was roaming and I think feeling lonely...poor pup was "arrooo"ing. |

Ha, maybe I wasn't "attacked." Maybe the doxie was just randy!  I feel so dirty...  |

You obviously haven't met my cat.

That's funny. A few months ago I was "attacked" by something. It was one of those "purse dogs" as my husband calls them. It was funny more than anything. That little thing was snarling and barking and darting between my legs. I think he was trying to knock me over so he could bite my face, probably. Nearly succeeded too - it was dark, and he snuck up on me. I nearly fell over laughing.
That said, the owner should have that thing on a leash, or on better voice control. He could have darted out in front of a car & then he wouldn't be around to make me laugh anymore!! It's hard to take those little things seriously.  |

I ran past a goose, a few months ago, who was standing in the bike path. As I ran past, that goose opened his mouth like he was going to bite me. All I had to do was make a move toward him for him to back off. It was so funny. I couldn't help be think, "hey goose, if you try it, I'm going to punt you into next week."
Same kind of thing happened when I was in India for business. I ran past a pack of homeless mutts (they seem to be everywhere), and the little pooches started after me like they were going to hunt me down! Again, when I ran at them, they backed off quickly.
I've never been attacked by a dachshund, though. I think I might hurt myself laughing. |

| Geese do that often. During spring with the little goslings about they tend to get quite agressive. I've had to push away geese mid-air. One flew at me - twice. Very weird. My arms are long enough (barely), and the nips did not hurt, but I can't figure what it thought it was going to do with me. (I guess their brain is about the size of a peanut, though, so "not much" is about the answer) |

2 geese hovering over a loaf of bread on the shoulder of the road are, as well...guess how I know. I crossed the road. Those suckers were half my height and hissing.
As for the doxies...there was the "aggressive" one and his "accomplice." I was cracking up...it was like doggie Batman and Robin. |
