What do you do when attacked by a dog that is nearly smaller than your shoe?

Cooly walk away. Really the dog poses no threat and is more of an annoyance.

A dog the size of whose shoes?

I just reread the question for the poll. It says if a dog nearly the size of your shoe attacks you ... If a dog the size of your new shoes attacks me I would be screaming like a little girl. Your shoes are honking big. A dog that size would eat me for lunch!

Actually I give this "walk

Actually I give this "walk away" tip for another reason: because if you freak out or run, it goes at you more. THEY SMELL YOUR FEAR.

When I was little I'd run away from this vicious little dog down the street, and the damn thing would bite my ankles. HARD. I still remember the pain.

Proud Owner

Unfortunately, I am the "proud" owner of a pint-sized Kujo. He is as cute as can be: a cross between a daucshaund and a chiuaua. (He looks like a long legged doxy.)
It turns out that those two breeds are individually two of the most aggressive breeds. He loves who he loves and HATES who he hates! He pees all over one of Steve's workers when he comes to the door! I have a friend who no longer lets her kids come to my house because of our dog. One of her boys put his hand out to pet Pismo and he snapped at him. (It works out okay because I don't want her kids at my house anyway!)
He hates Trevor! We will be eating dinner and the dog will bite Trevor's toes for no reason.
When I lived in South Dakota I was jogging around the neighborhood. As I jogged past this one house, a small, muscular dog started growling and barking at me. I froze. I stayed there for about 5 minutes until a guy in a truck came and rescued me. I know that if I had moved, the dog would have bit me.

I'm so glad

that Teddy is a nice reasonable formidable 100 or so pounds. She's really more like a draft horse than those small dogs (who are more like humming birds... well really mean, loud hummingbirds). Big dogs are so... docile and calm.. Well I guess that's an over generalization. Teddy is so docile and calm. So is Marmaduke...
Wow, I'm tired.
And the Germans are still celebrating their 5:00 soccer win at 1:00Am.
Crazy Germans.

Crazy Germans?

I think not... I think it is a worldwide madness that you've never experienced before. Dancing in the streets till 1 am seems rather calm... Have you heard the stories:

Buddhist monks in Thailand are too tired to receive early morning alms because they are staying up late to watch the World Cup. A woman in the northern city said her birthday celebrations were ruined because monks at a city temple were not awake to receive her morning offering. Chief monk said he had received complaints about "inappropriate behaviour" at seven temples in the province.

In Cambodia, some 40,000 monks have been warned they could be defrocked if they became too excited while watching the games. "If they make noise or cheer as they watch, they will lose their monkhood," Phnom Penh patriarch Non Nget.

In Bangladesh, power-cuts during matches have led to irate fans attacking local supply offices. The speaker of the Bangaldeshi parliament has admitted that he might cut sessions short so that the MPs can watch games. "I shall consider the proposal so that members can watch the World Cup matches," acting speaker Akhtar Hamid Siddiki, after complaints that their Sunday session was on at the same time as the Brazil vs Australia match.

In Bulgaria, even without the presence of their own team, demand is high to watch the matches. So much so that two prisoners at Pazardzhik Jail have started a protest to try and get televisions placed in their cells. The authorities have so far declined, leading the two lifers to sew up their mouths in a hunger strike (though they have left a gap to allow them to smoke - you can't go too far can you?). Prison director Vesselin Kotzev said: "I am negotiating with them to convince them that sealing their mouths is not the way to put forward their demands, which are unrealistic."

Where have I been all my life?

I don't ever remember this much hoopla around these games before. Have I just been too wrapped up in my life to notice or is there something special about this World Cup?

Wed, 2006-06-21 10:36 — sista

Not new..

You've been wrapped up in your life. AND the US media doesn't let us in on all the fun because they don't think that we'd get into soccer. So it's been kept under wraps.

Also you don't get the excitment when the WC comes to the US. The hoodlums travel... but not many to the US.

Pismo

Sounds adorable!!! I've only seen pictures of him as a wee pup. I'll bet he's grown into quite the hansome dog. I really like Dobermens, as long as they have long ears and tails, and because daschunds are pretty much mini dobermens, I'll bet I'd like him. Also, John and I seriously thought about getting a short haired chiuaua when we were first married. They're just so darn cute as puppies!

But hey, all puppies are cute!

Chatbox convo

And this is why she went screaming like a "little girrrrllll"

13:53] I was pretty annoyed about it until I blogged about it and realized how silly it is.

[13:55] I can see that... The woman sounded very cheeky and not very sympathetic or aware that her dog was such a killer..

[13:56] It was a good yalp that I let out too. Not just a suprised little "ah" I was pretty embarrassed

[13:57] I had images of him flying up to bite my jugular, or attaching his teeth to my arm

Snarling dogs are not very welcoming.
isn't there a movie... Yeah, I think there is...

[13:58] Kujo?

Tue, 2006-06-20 13:52 — sista

But!!!

I don't think it would be a cool walk... It would be premepted by a slight jump, and a pause followed by crossing the street.

And my hands would start to ache as the adrelaine flowed through my fingers..

Goose bumps

I had goose bumps up and down my arms from the fright it gave me. Thank goodness this isn't another century.. I might have swoooned.

Freakishly Happy
