Dog at Johnson Reserve
I was walking my two dogs in JR this morning as I do almost everyday without incident. This morning we came across a dog that looked like a border collie cross. One of my dogs had a sniff as is normal & the owner said his dog could be abit ‘snappy’. His dog went for mine, my dog submitted and then he went for my other dog who was just standing there!
It wasn’t until a few minutes later I realised my smaller dog has a fairly large cut across the top of her eye and scratches underneath the same eye.
These injures are not life threatening HOWEVER if you know your dog is ‘snappy’, dog aggressive in my eyes, then keep it on a bloody leash! If my dogs were not submissive the outcome could’ve been a lot worse than cuts & scratches.
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
