My dog goes nuts when other dogs walk by. If I said "go" he'd be out the door in a heartbeat.

Zoolander? My cousins got me to watch that this weekend.  I must say, that I am really really really ridiculously good looking. [:D]

The only good rat-dog is a...
Yorkie!

A neighbor lets his gangster dogs roam the 'hood like it's his right. Once they came flying at me at a full sprint across the public street. My little Eskie took the first one at 90 degrees leaving the second one for me. I oftered my left arm for the impending bite and readied my right hands fingers to tear into the eyeballs of that shit dog.

The seond dog froze as my little 15 pound dog gave her all against the 85 pounds of the the other. I came to the rescue after the thing managed to bite mine on the neck and thigh leaving blood. I returned to my truck and grabbed a pistol.

The nighbor comes over after hearing all the noise. Gee can't imagine how the dogs got out. I said that I was born on a Tuesday but not last Tuesday and that his dogs were loose all the time chasing people. That would never happen. You calling me a liar? At the time I hadn't seen the blood streaming out of my dog. I pointed the pistol out to the guy and told him that I would never leave my house without a weapon good enough to kill his dog if it ever came at me again. I told him that his dogs scared me pretty good and that I was fearful of them now (sets up a legal defence).

When I noticed the damage to my dog I called animal control - the fifth time they'd been called. I asked them how that could be when our city has a two strikes and you're out policy. Nobody wants to testify. I told him send an officer. The dogs were already labeled as dangerous so the guy was forced to carry an insurance policy on them. They had growled and chased a frail old 85 year old woman off of her porch when she came to chase them away after they came down the block and knocked her trash over.

The lady next door to this ass lost a rat dog as they came into her fenced yard and tore it to pieces. She hadn't seen it but called the cops anyway.

Several other kids have been nipped or bitten as they rode their bikes down the street.

While awaiting the hearing a lady pushing her baby in a stroller was chased by the two of them. I was doing yard work and came running up with a big rake causing the dogs to back down.

So after the report the lady says that the guy will have a hearing and could I make it. Sure thing. The charge will be on the dog that attacked mine rather than the other one which cowarded when I stood fast. Hearing comes and the guy is mad dogging me the whole time. I told the truth of what happened. The guy tried to say he saw the whole thing and claimed we were walking though his yard - which still didn't excuse the already proclaimed "dangerous" dogs loose on his lawn. Opps - forgot about that didn't you?

When they came to collect his "dog" there were five cop cars and two animal control trucks. The second dog is much more relaxed now. The almost constant barking and whelping is gone. My dog is fine and still wants a piece of the second dog ... who said it's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog?

I really hate neighbors dogs, and kids, and loud stereos ... damn I'm a crotchety old mf.

I have a Yorkie story. In late Aug 2001 my wife's aunt gave us her Yorkie, named Taz. Seems he would dig under her fence to go after the pit bull living next door. He thought he was bigger than he really was. So, for his own safety, we took him home.

We got him a couple of weeks before 9/11/01 and late that evening, he snuck out the front door. We were so glued to the TV we forgot about him until around 6AM. We searched the neighborhood and checked the dog pound and put up "lost dog" flyers but we never found him. I think somebody took him home. If he had gotten run over or eaten, Animal Control would have had a record of a dead Yorkie and they didn't.

I had a Chihuahua.  She looked like a 3 lb. rat with long legs and giant bat ears.  This one was a good dog though.  Never barked except when someone came in the house - then it was one or two yips just to let me know about it.  She used to ride on my shoulder when I drove.

I hate the ones that bark all the time though.
