Sidney vs The Boxer
Sooo, we're out taking our evening walk. It's a pleasant night and the rain is just a memory. One of our neighbors is getting out of his truck and his wife comes out of the house through the garage, letting their two boxers come out with her. They come straight out to us, but the man right away begins calling them back. The wife says "It's ok, they're friendl..." Bam! One of the boxers had rolled Sidney onto his back and was attacking his underbelly! I hate it when I panic and start yelling...all I remember was screaming "get your dog off of him, get your dog off of him!". It seemed like forever before the guy came up and grabbed the boxer, while I was trying to pull Sidney away by the leash. I don't know WHAT I should have done in a circumstance like that. Grab for the Boxer? Grab for Sidney?
Guy takes his dog back and the woman is extremely apologetic.One of those "she's never done anything like that before" apologies. She asks me several times if Sidney is ok. He seems none the worse for wear, happily. He got up, shook himself off and proceeded to woof at the boxer, as if to give her a piece of his mind. "You want a piece of me...huh? Want a piece of me?" It wasn't a hostile bark, more questioning. Then he kicked dirt in her direction. We continued on our walk and he does just fine. As we passed by the house again I watched him to see if he was nervous about it, but he was fine. It took ME a while to calm down, though! I was not really too mad at the family, just scared for my little dog. I hope they will think twice before letting them out into the front yard, though!
Sidney was sporting his brand new Christmas bandana. I think the boxer was jealous.

OMG! I would of freaked out! =( This Oct. Kalvin lost his best friend in the whole world to a dog who his owner said he wouldn't hurt a fly. My little Yorkie named Layla was on her cycle so I had to keep her in the kennel before Kavlin would of made Yorgis lol...so i felt bad and i let her out so she could walk around in the back yard and the neighbors huge brown dog that wouldnt hurt a fly was nose to my little 4 pound Yorkie and it attached her and killed her, Kalvin thank God was not there when she was attached but the day after she passed he came inside the house and was literally ducking and was scared to take any steps, he felt her death and he is now heart broken. =(. No matter how safe anyone says their dogs are we should never take there word for it, because as much as we think we know dogs sitituations like that will happen! I am happy to here Sydney is ok!

Yep, sounds like the boxer wanted that bandana for themselves. Who can blame 'em?? It's supercute!
I'm glad Sidney is okay!

I'm glad you're all right Sidney and maybe you should get another bandana for being such a brave guy! I am sure that woman probably feels terrible! I am sure that I would have screamed and gone after the other dog...maybe not smart but my emotions would have gotten the best of me! Glad all turned out ok!!!
The bandana looks very sharp on you!

I am so glad Sidney is Ok! That is something that always worries me when we encounter loose dogs. Sparty does not back down which usually backs the other dog off a little but my previous corgi, Buffy, had a fright like that which made her afraid of strange dogs for the rest of her life. Sidney looks great by the way!

Sidney is quite handsome in his bandana. I bet that Boxer was never taught how to properly work though jealousy!
