Hilarious but not if you were me !
Took Bruno and Luca out earlier. Luca is going through a phase of refusing to get in his buggy so we have taken to walking round the block to the park and home again, makes a slightly shorter walk for bruno but takes twice as long as we have to stop at evry wall, bush, paper bag for luca to investigate !!
Anyway, just walked into the park, had picked up Luca as was a few icy puddles and didnt want him slipping over. Bruno was on his short lead as usual, sees 2 little white dogs about 30 yards away and gives one bark which immediately attracts both dogs who start to race over to him - I immediately shout to the owner that he isnt good with other loose dogs so he starts quickly walking and calling his dogs - however unfortunately the westie and the pom both decide that Bruno needs telling off so charge at him, and basically stand just outside the extension of the lead and bark at him, whilst running in circles round him - bruno is barking back and I am thus having to spin round and round to make sure they arent coming any closer.
The owner managed to grab the westie and lead him, but the POm - Alfie just proceeded to run circles round Bruno with both of us ( well all 5 of us if you include bruno, the man the wetstie me and luca !!) spinning round and round as both dogs spin and bark at each other incessantly. this went on for a few minutes, literally as he just couldnt catch the dog
Luca meantime is in absolute hysterics cos I am spinning round and round with him in my arms, about to drop him though cos he weighs a tonne and by this point I had been holding him for ages...
The man constantly shouting his dog who was just completely ignoring him, and bruno just barking his head off and spinning.
HOnestly it would have been hilarious to have been a bystander but it was awful cos I honestly thought I was going to drop luca and i had visions of him getting tangled in the leads etc, as he had no clue that the dogs were having a go he just thought it was hilarious.
Anyway, I finally managed to back away a little so that the man could try and grab his dog - not so easy when he had hold of the other one. He just grabbed his dog and walked away - didnt even say sorry for the hassle etc or anything - and it made me wonder whether he blamed me for it all!!
Anyway it wasnt a rant just to share - I think the man was pretty mortified as he was telling his dogs off all the way up the park and you could tell from the body language that Alfie was getting in big trouble !!! LOL
Luca meanwhile is still laughing and goes - do it again Mummy !!!! err no no thanks my arms are dead !!!
anyway thought it might have brought a smile to someones face today. It could have of course ended badly had the dog not left us be as I dont think i could have held Luca for much longer so we will be insisting on the buggy in future for walking to the park !!!
