Kotta, walk is a walk no matter how long it was. You will be getting lots of them at Mountain Hounds

Darn Mop.. darn stoopid dribers...

Kota, I agree with you about the darn stoopid dribers...
Some of them just don't have any sense at all...or any idea that the streets don't belong to just them . As for the 'mop', I'm glad no one was hurt but why was it out of its yard without a leash? Its mom should know better.

I hope that you get to take a longer walk next time.

Such a shame when walks are spoilt or shortened by loose dogs around an area. We are lucky here that it happens very rarely as we go out three times every day and the hounds love their walks and know just when they are due to go. Hope you manage to enjoy some more walks soon though Kota and those owners of the loose dogs keep them on their own property in future.

I empathize with you. We didn't have this problem much in Pa., but since we got to Florida it seems we run into a loose dog at least a couple times a week. So far we've been pretty lucky, but it's very scary. I keep meaning to look into getting pepper spray (just in case), but I never remember when I'm out. I would hate to have to use it, but I would do whatever it takes to protect my two. My 2 love their walks and even tell me when it's walk time so I don't want to give them up. It's a shame that a few stupid dog owners ruin things for everyone. It sounds like you didn't have a very enjoyable walk.
