ROCK HUNTING
WE ARE HAVING SOME GORGEOUS DAYS BUT YOU CAN FEEL THE FALL SEEPING IN SLOWLY. I PLAN ON SPENDING TIME PUTTING MOST OF MY GARDEN DECORATIONS AWAY TODAY. I THINK I WILL ALSO REMOVE PLANTS FROM SOME POTS. IF I HAVE TIME AND ENERGY I WILL PLANT SOME TULIPS.
YESTERDAY, HUBBY AND I AND THE 2 DOGS TOOK A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAIN. IT IS WHRE ALL OF OUR BERRY FIELDS ARE AND IT IS ABOUT 45 MINUTES AWAY. WE WENT ROCK HUNTING. I WANTED SOME BIGGER ROCKS FOR 2 OF MY GARDENS AS ACCENT PIECES. I ALSO GOT ENOUGH TO EXPAND MY HOSTA GARDEN WHICH NOW RUNS UP THE ENTIRE SIDE OF MY HOUSE. I ADDED ABOUT FIVE FEET. I WILL PUT THE NEW HOSTAS IN IN THE SPRING. IT WAS A LOVELY DAY. THE DOGS REALLY LOVED RUNNING AND JUMPING IN THE FIELDS.
LAST WEEK WE WERE AT THE WALKING PARK WITH THE DOGS TO GET SOME EXERCISE FOR ALL OF US. WHEN AT THE PARK ALL DOGS MUST BE LEASHED. ANYWAY, WE CAME AROUND A CORNER FROM A SMALL WOODED AREA AND THERE ON A BENCH SAT A TEENAGE BOY AND ON THE END OF THE LEASH WAS A HUGE....PIT BULL TYPE DOG. HE IMMEDIATELY STARTED TOWARDS US AND THE YOUNG GUY HELD TIGHT TO THE LEASH BUT THE DOG DRUG HIM OFF THE BENCH AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE GUY NOW HAS HIS FEET BRACED AND PULLING FOR ALL HE IS WORTH AND THE DOG STILL IS COMING FORWARD. I AM FREAKING OUT!!! FINALLY HE MANAGES TO GET THE DOG TURNED AND HEADS QUICKLY UP THE PATH IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I WAS TERRIFIED THAT IT WOULD GO AFTER ONE OF MY DOGS. NOW I WILL EXPLAIN WHY I WAS FREAKING SO...MUCH. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, IN A TOWN NEARBY, A MAN AND HIS WIFE WERE WALKING THEIR LITTLE DOG. THEY NOTICE THAT COME TOWARD THEM ARE TWO LARGE DOGS RUNNING FREE. THEY WERE THE PITBULL VARIETY OR MAYBE ROTTWEILLER...DOESN'T MATTER. ANYWAY, AS THE DOGS APPROACHED THE MAN PICKED UP THE LITTLE DOG JUST TO BE SAFE. WHEN THE DOGS GOT TO THEM THEY ATTACKED. OKAY.....IF YOU ARE SQUEMISH STOP READING HERE!!!!!
THE DOGS RIPPED THE LITTLE DOG OUT OF THIS MAN'S ARMS AND TORN IT TO PIECES IN FRONT OF THEM. THE MAN WAS NOT SMALL BUT WAS HELPLESS TO STOP THEM!! THE DPGS WERE LATER FOUND AND THE OWNER FINED $300. THE DOGS WERE PUT DOWN.
SO EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE DOGS I AM AFRAID FOR MY LITTLE ONES.
OKAY, NOW THAT WAS A DEPRESSING STORY...SORRY!!!
ANYWAY, THE SUN IS SHINING AND I THINK I'LL HAVE VREAKFAST AND START MY DAY.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, IT IS FRIGHTENING WHEN STRANGE DOGS COME AT YOU, OR AT YOUR DOG. EVEN SMALL DOGS ARE SO MUCH STRONGER FOR THEIR SIZE THEN WE HUMANS ARE.
PITS ARE A DOG THAT SHOULD NOT RUN FREE. WE HAVE TWO OF THEM. ONE OF WHICH IS AGGRESSIVE TO SMALL ANIMALS AND OTHER MALE DOGS, THE OTHER ISN\'T BUT THEY GO AFTER EACH OTHER WHICH IS WHY I BUILT DANKS DUNGEN AND THEY ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO BE OUT ANYWHERE AT THE SAME TIME.
WE ALSO HAVE A ROTTI AND HE IS JUST A BIG FAT LAZY SLOB OF A DOG WHO ONLY GROWLS AT OTHER DOGS IF THEY INTERRUP HIS NAP IN FRONT OF THE FOOD DISH.
ALL OF THESE GUYS ARE TOTAL SLOBBERING LOVE BUGS WHEN IT COMES TO HUMANS, UNFORTUNATELY WITH DANK AND DOZER (THE ROTTI) THEY ADORE ALL HUMANS. AT LEAST ADRAIN WILL BARK AT A STRANGER THEN HE RUNS AND HIDES BEHIND ME.
NEEDLESS TO SAY WITH THEIR POTENTIAL FOR HARM TO OTHER ANIMALS THEY ALWAYS GO OUT ON LEASHES OR CABELS AND ARE PUT UP IF WE HAVE COMPANY THEY DO NOT KNOW.
IT IS 42*F HERE, CLOUDY AND BEEN TRYING TO RAIN OFF AND ON. I STILL HAVE ANOTHER WEEK OF WINTER BEING STUCK IN TOWN ROUND THE CLOCK BEFORE SHE WILL START BEING ABLE TO COME HOME AND DO THINGS AROUND HERE. I AM HOPING THE WEATHER WILL HOLD OFF SO ONCE SHE\'S HOME MORE I CAN GET THINGS DONE BEFORE THE SNOW FLIES.
Its gotten quite cool here also... sounds like you had a nice time until you came upon that dog .i am happy that he got control of the dog before anything happened..hugs ..marie
