#dogowner — Public Fediverse posts

No picture from today's run, which was done in stunning weather but felt hard. Though Suunto claims it was the fastest I've done this route. Probably because, which is also the reason why no photo, other dog owners. Just a PSA "he's fine or he's friendly etc" ain't a fecking recall.

Just arrgghh.

I came up to a person walking his two mutts off lead, one in front of him and one behind. I came to a halt, said a friendly "'ow do, nar then". They turned around said hi and turned back around and continued on their merry way. So they didn't see that one of their dogs started to run right at Penny. I went "feck it" and started to run to get away from the dog. As we did the dog came close and started to growl and I had to jump it, lucky for it I jumped high enough. As I went past the owner, I couldn't hold back and said loudly - It would be good if had your dogs on a lead, thanks.

Then on the return I had to swerve around, eg run into the long grass and of the trail, while I heard the fantastic recall "he's friendly". Sorry no, the way he went directly at Penny with that body language didn't communicate "friendly". Oh and it would be nice to be told that you had a third dog off lead coming up behind you, so I didn't have to do another detour into the undergrowth.

I love dogs, but please teach the mutts a solid recall, if not put it on a lead. Along with teaching them that running up to others ain't good dog ownership. The person or dog could be scared of other dogs (mine have been attacked by spaniels so don't like them at all, and is very worried of other especially bigger dogs), person could be allergic to dogs or as my MiL not very stable on her legs so having a dog running around, and potentially jumping up, her legs doesn't give her much confidence.

None of the [pigs] involved in Muhammad Muhaymin’s [execution] were ever disciplined. But some had a troubling history of excessive force.
