I wish I had said something to her. What if I had had hit it? There could have been lots of damage to all involved.

People are so stupid sometimes.

Wahine it's hard to make a choice like this. We ultimately decided not to get another dog. Our lives have changed since we had Greta and it would be harder for us to raise a dog correctly now. Personally, I hope you decide to get a dog. I really miss having one and feel a little guilty because we would be good parents... I know you'll be a good dog mom. But don't let me pressure you.

I honestly think that many (not all) small dog owners end up never properly training their dogs because it's just easier to pick them up and restrain them when they do the wrong thing. The bad part about that is that you can't always pick up or restrain. Don't even get me started. Every incident I ever had with that dog was with a small aggressive beast. My neighbor, immediately next door has a Jack Russel, it is very well behaved and good natured. 4 doors down are 2 aggressive Jack Russels and across the street are 2 aggressive Poms. Between these 4 dogs, I swear I'm going to hit the pavement one day on my bike.
