It's weird because I was reading to my daughter about that horrible pitbull incident, had that thread open.
Oh well. Thanks and hope to see you on a cheerier thread. I told my daughter she ought to think about defending herself if she gets attacked when she's out in parks walking. The best thing I came up with for myself since I don't carry was to go for their eyes with something, even claw with my fingers. May not get that chance though. Should be pretty deadly though.

it’s ok, i think it’s funny when people do that. the more off topic, the funnier it is because i don’t always figure it out before reading it all and wondering what i missed in the article, lol
i’m worried some mean dog would attack my little yorkie. he thinks he’s big and has tried to attack lots of big dogs. i’ve always pulled him back but one day a mean one might take him up on it. they usually treat him like a little annoying gnat, not something to take seriously.
