I totally understand! When I was attacked by the 2 Goldens I fed them my feet as I had hiker boots on.. didn't take them long to get me on the ground, but O kept them on my feet.. when 1 would let go I'd kick the other right in the face., which would cause him to let go so I could kick the other one in the face.. its sucked pretty bad :( but I can't out with no marks, just slobbery boots
