I been sitting in shade in my garden on sun lounger, got up to go fetch a drink & when I got back this little sod had jumped up on me sun lounger & would not get off I am not moving Not looking at you Can't understand what your saying Nope still can't understand a word your saying Sorry I have gone deaf
Phoebe did that to me yesterday with the fan, hub brought a fan for bedroom and put it on just to check it worked phoebe jumped right in front of it so now its hers in teh day and mine at night.
Oh as skinny as she has gotten and as p***sed of as she is with the heat she hasnt lost her attitude and feeling of self worth. Thats the part the vet cant understand as shes not ill, she eating fine, would still walk an hour if i let her, still zooms around when off lead like a puppy. Shes Phoebe the way she has always been just smaller. I nearly battered somebody last night as they shouted over "look at the state of your dog, go home and get it fed, thats neglect" to which i pointed out that no her stupidly overweight lab was clearly the one that needed help and my dog was old and has something wrong with her so she should just mind her business. Im all ways making friends when out walking phoebe next person to say anything im going to say shes a bullmstiff greyhound cross and thats just what she looks like
I love the first photo Tina ... it's the same look that Chloe used to give me when she didn't want to move from her favourite (my) chair! Her little chin would go up and the corners of her lips would turn down and she'd give me one of those "if looks could kill" glares! How I miss my tiny scrap!
Katy .... I know how hurtful comments like that are because over the past few months I've been on the receiving end of a few myself. There's one woman who lives at the other end of the village who rarely comes past my house, but whenever she did, Georgina always barked furiously at her. One day as she was passing she said to me "that dog is vicious "! I told her that Georgie was only barking because her eyesight was so poor she found it difficult to recognise people! I was furious when instead of saying sorry the woman turned round and went "Humph! ... I still say she's vicious"!
oh i get that to, "shouldnt be allowed out in public" when shes barking at a dog but if they looked and listened they would notice its a hello bark and her tail is wagging like mad and she just wants to say hello and have a play. Ive even had it when its their dog starting a drama oflead and i have phoebe onlead in a sit yes she will continue to bark but shes not doing anything even thought their dog has come over barking or snapping once the man wouldnt come get his dogs as was frightened of phoebe and his little pugs were under her nipping her belly so i tied her to a lamp post and picked his dogs up by their harness and bowled them at him like bowling balls. Nothing sets the warrior princess inside me off like upsetting my Phoebe
Some people are ignorant, I'd go with the cross greyhound story ,that's so funny.if you give these stupid people a clever answer back you'll baffle them. And as for being scared of phoebe..she looks like a gentle giant to me!!
I walk early in the morning & late at night with an member of my walking club, who as the most beautiful Staffy X Rottweiler, he walks him at these times because the dog is so powerful & hard to get under control, he will rear up & bark at moving vehicle's so he now walked early morning & late at night, plus the other reason is people would yell get that vicious dog put down shouldn't be allowed out on the streets so on, but he's not vicious he's just gets so excited that it is hard to control him he wears an double D ring body harness plus head halti, but its still hard to get him under control. But once on the park he's bounces around like a puppy & loves playing with my dogs.
Messed up my previous message, sorry - hit the wrong key. Wanted to say Katy that some people can be so cruel. I have had such snarky comments about Pereg "oh look how fat she is" and "oh when are her puppies due". Sort of like people looking at me and seeing my fat belly and wondering how someone as old as I am could be pregnant.
The most inane comment I've ever heard was made by a 40 year old man who called at my son's home. He took one look at tiny Chloe and asked my son if she would attack him! How stupid can you get????
