Bad dog strikes again!
Today I decided to treat the dogs and take them both out for a nice long run around the lakes.
Now Holly being a greedy dalmation likes to stop by, and greet any person within eyesight who has anything which looks even reasonably edible. Lucky being a Staffordshire x Jackrussel on the other hand is more orientated by sticks and his ball. I don't normally have to worry about his wondering eyes when it comes to ice creams or chips.
Both are actually very obediant, socialble with other dogs and very sociable with people, so you can see my worries when we come up to a nice little family eating a picnic by the lake.
My first thought was, watch the dalmation... Call her back, don't let her get anywhere near the kids eating there food. So... just like out of a text book, i called Holly and she recalled straight back to me (what a good girl) I then rewarded her by throwing her stick into the lake for her to retrieve, (she loves swimming even more than food!) and then turned my attentions back to the wonderer Lucky. He is getting a little older, and sometimes falls behind on long walks.
Lucky.. Lucky... I have thrown a stick, but he has not chased after it.. Where on earth can he be?? I look back, and to my horror i see him alright. Standing right next to the picnic basket behind the family.
Then to my horror.......... up he raised his leg.
Yes... Lucky cocked his leg up the poor families picnic basket....
I ran over, shouting "NO, NO, NO!!!" (which may or may not have been the best thing to do in the given situation as it certainly raised awareness to the fact that my bad dog was urinating up the poor families picnic basket!) Lucky stopped, but it was to late. He was mid-way into peeing!
I appologised profusely, grabbed him by his collar and dragged him away. I think the people understood, well more than i would have done in the situation had it been me.....
Oh the shame!!!! Bad Lucky! Stupid me for paying attention to the Dalmation and not him!
What's the worst thing your dog has ever done to you out on a walk? Please tell me i'm not alone!
