Throwing your weight around……
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Throwing Your Weight Around Lovers: I guess I never really thought about that statement before yesterday. As I was blogging earlier about our nice, leisurely walk in the park I left out something not so leisurely.
We were leaving the park and heading home and down the street comes a RED pit bull, boxer mix.
This is not the dog but it looked like a huger version of this picture. The dog looked like it weighed about 120 pounds soaking wet. GULP…….
It had on one of those giant Spanish Inquisition Collars, or at least that is what I call them.
I could see it from a mile away. I know Chaps hates RED dogs. Is that not the strangest thing? He dislikes some other dogs, but he HATES RED dogs. Watch out Clifford.
Anyway, I always do my don’t come close to us maneuver which is I pull the kids off of the sidewalk onto a driveway or yard. I try to turn Chaps away from the RED menace to his mind so he cannot see it but how stupid is that, he can smell that color!
So, the gal walking Clifford is a smart girl and crosses the street. If she had come just a few steps closer I would have told her that I had a dog that was “somewhat” aggressive. *cough*
She probably smelled my shoulder socket’s fear! Just as they passed us as perfect citizens Chaps reeled around and got into a stance that amazed me. His shoulders and hips expanded to a huge size and he went nuts. Cesar would not be proud.
I could not believe how huge Chaps became. Is that what they mean by throwing your weight around? I wish I could have taken a picture but that was not an option. Clifford passed without a glance in Chaps direction. Maybe there is something to be said about the Spanish Inquisition. (just kidding)
What’s a Mom to do? From Mr. Smiling in the green grass,
To Mr. Mean and bad citizen?
More needing your advise sooner than later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma
