JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD # 8

[no rose colored glasses]

JSM I'm glad your headache is better, sometimes it is so hard to get rid of, mine are usually sinus headaches, but irritating. Trimm be careful, my daughter is putting the hooks on some of the ornaments for a little tree upstairs, this is the first time I ever put a tree up this early, but I figured why not, I love to look at the lights. I put garland on the stair railings last year, thought it looked pretty, didn't realize that one of the family would use the rail, which I never do, and pulled it all down, so I won't waste my time on that this year 

I think it was more stress than sinus, but I did take a bit of cough medicine and it cleared up my stuffed up head. I think it is great y'all are all putting up your decorations so early. Since I won't be hear for Christmas  I won't have a tree, but will put lights outside on the off chance I could win a prize. Most others have put out their lights a strand or two, but JSM is a Griswold and will blind them by the lights. 

The association does that here, and the prize winners are still waiting for their money from last year's competition

  They should take it out of their association dues. I won the year before last, but last year it was even better. I guess they give extra points for big blow up Polar bears that take up half the balcony and mismatched colors. I always have a color scheme, blue, green and icicle lights with twinkling stars on the walls of the balcony. Oh well, it is fun decorating and if I don't win, to heck with them. It makes me happy I don't have to put up a tree.

You mean the big blow up Polar Bears and Santa's that keep deflating themselves, or a gust of wind and they are down. Lot of them around here, I don't have any decorations like that.

Took the kids tobogganing as youngest had a friend come over for the afternoon.  Took Riley, the kids and headed for a hill that is generally never packed. I keep Riley on a 25 ft leash as I just have never trusted him offleash in public and where we are going is adjoining a school with a playground.  We are half way up the hill and my daughter tells me there is a tiny white dog off its leash running from behind us.  I am thinking "oh crap" as Riley hates small dogs he thinks they are rodents and ....well you get the idea.

So he finally turns around, sees the little white dog heading our way, lays down as low as he can get,  ears down and grizzly hump up on his back.  He is in hunt mode.  Two girls come around the corner and I nicely in a loud voice so they can hear me, tell them to call their dog as mine does not like small dogs and theirs will get hurt.  The girls freeze in their tracks, white dog jumps at Riley, he lunges and grabs white dog by the scruff of the neck and tosses the white dog through the air.  Girls go get dog and run around corner.  I am now expecting an adult to come to the hill, but nothing.  We toboggan for two hours and head back to the car.  I see two adults walking and here comes the same white dog from between them still not leashed.  I tell the women that my dog is not friendly with smaller dogs and to get their dog and leash it.  They laugh    , Riley goes down in hunt mode again, dog gets close and he lunges, white dog wants to scrap and comes at us daughter holds tobaggon between Riley and white dog with suicide mission I have Riley on leash so close to me his front feet are in mid air, and the friggin woman are still not getting their dog!

What is wrong with people?

Good night JSM and Josef    Northern Rose, we have a neighbor with two small yappy dogs, and she feels it isn't necessary to put them on a leash, and a couple times they came after Zoe, and the woman looks at me like my dog is causing trouble, even though my dog never goes without a leash. Some people don't get it about leashes especially in an area like where I live, taking a chance of the dog getting run over, it is frustrating.

Northern, I feel you pain, my neighbor across from me does the same with her dog and it is bigger than Josef. We have a leash law here, but I swear if Josef had taken the neigbhor's dog out, I would have been sued. Plus I was running up the stairs with her dog following behind us. I couldn't get the keys out fast enough to get into the apartment. She was outside today with the dog unleashed. I hate it when people think their dogs are friends with every other dog and then once something happens, it is always the bigger dog's fault.

I am still furious because if Riley would have hurt the other dog I would have felt bad and yet the owned did not give a carp even after the first encounter where it became airborne.

JSM sleep well.  Prayers going out to you

I have another neighbor who has a bull terrior who is just not friendly, period. One day she didn't see me coming with Zoe, and when she took his leash off, he darted towards us, they got into a fight, but we were able to stop it quickly. I went over later to make sure Jack was okay, because even though Zoe was on a leash, I would have felt terrible if she hurt him. She was thankful that I wasn't going to cause trouble for her, and I said I would never do that, it was an accident. But some people around here just don't get it without leashes, JSM we have a leash law also, but that doesn't seem to matter.

No Rose, we had a Pit Bull that they left off the leash about two years ago. This dog was an angel, but all it wanted to do was sniff Josef. I told them they needed to put the dog on a leash because Josef was going to kill it. They finally started walking it on a leash. I tore my rotator cuff keeping Josef away from that dog.

I understand, you would feel bad about Riley hurting another dog, but the owners are just lucky the dog went airborne. I don't know the rules up there, but if your dog is on a lead, the other one is not you are not responsible. I would feel responsible, but it would irritate the H*ll that with the first encounter, they did nothing about it.

I would be so sad if Josef ever harmed another dog, but that is why he is on his leash. We have a Mastiff in our apartments that is an angel, but they leave it off the leash and if Josef wasn't on a lead, he would charge after the dog, same as the one across the hall from me. God love him, he is plain evil and he now has to be on a leash so he doesn't hurt any other dog.

I used to let him off the leash in the middle of the night, until he made a feral cat do a back flip two stories down  . That is when I decided he has to be on a leash no matter what time of night.

I can't ever leave Zoe off a leash, I wouldn't know where she would end up. She doesn't behave, and you could call her name and she wouldn't come. She got out of the yard two times because my daughter didn't shut the gate, and it was hell getting her, she thought we were playing a game and everytime we would get closer she would run and turn around and taunt us. I was so afraid she was going to get run over. And if she saw a cat forget it.

Have a box of Kleenex handy for the clip of Barb Underhill & Paul Martini & Ron Duguay.  Barb's daughter sings the song from mid ice.  It was the song that was sang for the final time that Barb and Paul skated before retirement.  The daughter was 5 at the time.  Her twin sister died shortly after.
