Could you please PM me the restaurant, I'm always looking for nice reasonable places to eat in Dublin. Don't worry I'm sitting in tonight, so if you see a stranger smiling and waving, it's not me.




Hope you're both ok. If you must kick someone, make it the owner.

Funny, I just replied about it in the other thread about C25k! Might as well just cut and paste it from there, I didn't mean to write it all out there.

A huge German Shepherd ran out of a house, across the road at us and tried to bite my dog I was screaming at him/her/it to get off her, trying to drag my dog away, and generally freaking out. So instead of jogging up the rest of the hill I was on I absolutely belted it, with the German Shepherd following us about 5ft away, head down, looking terrifyingly sauntering behind us

Now, I never EVER get mad at a dog, I get mad at the owner, because a dog is a dog and it's not it's fault. But if I hadn't managed to drag my dog out from nearly under that dog I was about 2 seconds from kicking it in the face. There was nobody around, nobody hearing me scream at it to f off and go home. So either nobody was home in that house and had left their dog in their garden that has no gate, just a huge open driveway, and anything could've happened, it could get hit by a car, scare or attack a person, or a dog. Or they were home, saw and heard what was happening, and ignored it Either way, W.T.F. is wrong with people

Whispered I've walked that road for years with my dog and have never had that happen, which is the only reason I'm not going straight around there. They have another big black older dog who sits and barks from the garden when we pass, as do two collies in another house and two evil terriers who bark maniacally in two other houses. My dog ignores them all bless her, she just keeps trotting along on the lead and harness. That dog followed us one other time and barked from a distance and I ran that time too, but I know that if I go say it to them they'll be of the "Pfft, dogs will be dogs get over it" variety, if they see no problem with leaving two huge dogs rambling a well used road with no security for them around the house. I think I'll leave it this time, as it is the first time out of 100's of times that I passed the house that it happened. If it happens again I'll send the boyfriend over, because he won't get mad like I would.

Do you know the people to knock up? If not, it might be an idea to call the warden. If he knocked out and told them he had a report of the dog wandering it might make them keep it in.

EDIT: sorry, just saw your reply

Du know what, that could be the best idea. I don't know them, but it's a small town and I don't want to personally p*ss people off (because you just know that people like that will see it as me being awkward, not me looking out for their dog and everyone else's). Might call the warden alright, thanks.

My dog is fine, not a bother on her. Because nothing really happened to her, to her it was probably just an over enthusiastic slightly aggressive big dog, but from my point of view he was either going to stop or properly attack her, 50/50, I was the one who got more shaken. Ok gonna go off to calm down now, thanks everyone for listening

Yeah, CC I would say something to be honest, you don't have to be mad or hysterical talking to them (although nobody could blame you) but if they're so blasé about such an aggressive dog wandering around, they need to be told. It was your dog today, it could be a child tomorrow.
