This is the 2nd time,, and we were just getting her to be Ok around the other dogs,,, now shes all afraid again... we were walking home happy as a lark,  and the dog came meandering around the corner (2 guys were with the dog) and said,,, no problem she's friendly..... but then all of a sudden Coffee stopped to look at the other dog (since I told you all she was thinking she's pack leader outside now...),,, and that huge dog came at her full speed and nipped at her hind legs,,,, so I got between diva and the mad dog and scopped Coffee up in one fell swoop,, then really interrogated those 2 guys(as much as I can in their language),,, the one was really confused said,, he didn't understand why she'd attack a puppy...blah blah blha,, I told them to keep her in her dog house on a line,, but I know they won't...  will have to be more careful......  I was really scared , no blood was drawn but little miss coffee was scared shi-less....   we came home immediately (we were like 4 minutes from the front door) so I put her into the bath to wash her legs down and dried her off with the hair dryer, so I could make sure there was nothing.... after that we both got on the bed  , cuddled up together and slept for an hour. 


I didn't tell ds.

How scary for you both Suzan,
Glad Coffee wasn't hurt seriously.
Hopefully not too traumatized to be around/see other dogs now.
You should tell DS .. he would/should know ..
I know how that can be when you're out walking

I'm sorry this reply is so long, but it is hard to explain when you live in a country that has leash laws and other things....

WEll I remembered the old saying when you fall off the horse get right back on, so C and I went for our walk, and I decided she needed a good experience with some nice pouches , so I walked her down the street to the pet shop , this is the regular bath and hair cut day there (10% off), so I figured there would be lots of nice happy dogs there.

I would be worried the dog may not have its shots!


When dogs attack it is never good. best to find out and see if other dog had shots

Does Coffee have rawhide bones like the one at the top of the page I'm sending you? Scroll down half way on the following page link and you'll see good information as to what to buy and what not to buy.


Tip: Shelby got gift rawhide bones that were in Christmas red and green. The dye came off and on the carpet and in her tummy too!! Get the white ones only.....

There's good info at the column to the left too.
