Encounter with a feisty little bitch.
Once upon a time in Olde Towne Alexandria...Last Sunday, we sat outside Whole Foods (organic, up-scale, trendy, and healthful offerings; the place makes me feel like I should be wearing Birkenstocks) waiting with some friends for another couple to show. (Credit for all snaps goes to Mr. Spanky.)
So we're sitting around noshing on weird bits Mrs. Spanky got from the buffet, and a young couple with a lap dog passes. The dog tries to hose down Mrs. Spanky's tote bag, which Mrs. Spanky quickly snatches out of the line of fire. The dog objected and snapped at her.
Cute little pooch, some sort of terrier I think, but a nasty temper. The young lady takes a seat nearby while her companion goes into the store. Definitely a "no dogs allowed" venue. A few minutes later a couple with a lab(?) pup walks by and the terrier launches at it. Scared the hell out of a dog three times its size.
The melee lasted until the couple with the lab escaped across the street. Fortunately our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Shagnasty, arrived and we went on our expedition to the farmers' market. Oh Lord do we have vegetables now. A couple I can't identify (and won't eat, either).
I don't understand people who don't discipline their pets.
BTW, E, we hope your daughter's behind is healing well.
